A disappointing stay in central Locarno
Despite not having very high expectations it was disappointing. I had chosen the place because nice and central but...They did not seem to expect me and gave me a room that had not been heated. Well, turning the heater on caused so much noise that it had to be turned off at night. The bathroom had an electric heater mounted almost at the ceiling with a timer and did not really help to get some warmth. Besides that the TV did not work. When I checked ou they again were not sure if I had maybe stayed 2 nights while clearly I had only been there one. The office seems to have some difficulties.

Not very welcoming staff at check-in. However check out was completely the opposite. Very friendly and helpful. Loud music woke me up at just after 01.00 in the morning. No television remote control in room, so had to contact reception for one. Then very few channels on TV.

More than satisfied
I was put off by some negative reviews, but I was more than satisfied. I stayed for four nights and had a view over the lake. The room was clean and comfortable, with good wi-fi. Breakfast is served in a pleasant room, with an ample selection. Location is across from the railway station and about five minutes’ walk to the lake and ferries. The lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful; the gentleman was more aloof. There are eating options and convenience stores nearby. There is no need to pay more for accommodation in Locarno.

Excellent location and value for money.
I was a bit unsure about the Garni Montaldi, but the hotel is located not 2 mins away from the station and double-glazing make sure the room remains quiet. The hotel itself is a bit old, and rough around the edges, but the rooms are big and perfectly clean, so you have to take the good with the not-so-good. Helpful staff; free Wi-Fi.

Prisoner cell block H
First impression on entry is 'Is this a hostel ?' and it goes downhill from there. Staff were reasonably helpful but first worry is when you are handed 2 remotes for the TV at reception ?? The lift was old with NO GUARD between the lift and the lift doors.Could not see any fire escape signs even though we were on fifth floor. Door to room led to 2 separate doors to 507 and 508 (as we required a separate single). One bathroom which was a horrible plastic tatty unit with shower. The bedrooms had been painted by someone who thought that wall paint should splatter round the ceiling edges... at least that was a better colour than the stain on the ceiling. The worn out tatty furniture looked like it had come out of a house clearance... Bed linen so old that it was 'bobbly' and the sheets so thin over a not too clean mattress that we slept on top of the 'covers' in our clothes. After the banging from upstairs stopped at about 0100 hrs we tried to sleep. unfortunately the banging started again at 0400 hrs. After 1 hour's sleep all night we got up and went down to the worn out breakfast room. Staff member polite, breakfast simple and actually OK. Free wifi so at least you can surf the web while you can't sleep. Room view was nice, up to mountains behind.. Overpriced, almost a joke. I feel sorry for the staff, running a dump like this. If you are brave and book and are handed keys to 507 and 508, laugh and hand them back.
