34 hotel reviews for Hotel Esplanade Resort & Spa
The hotel is very clean and in a quiet location. The destinations are close and versatile. The breakfast buffet plentiful. Large drawback: very small bathroom! The room s very cold and reminiscent of a cure or hospital from earlier. Staff was attentive and friendly, but were the two promised services went smooth forget. Conclusion: a hotel for fifty-year-old and older, will appreciate this quality. Read more

The reservation was spontaneously and easy. The information when booking all been met. We would stay at a vacation in Ticino Eaplande book! The location of the hotel is quiet and provides a wonderful view. Unfortunately, we now need to go back to work and do not have time, to make a long explanation! Read more

... in a great location (slightly elevated with view on the Lago Maggiore). The garden area was well-kept and invited to linger. The possibilities for excursions in the region Locarno there are some fantastic places to shop. Food we had only booked breakfast. The choice was okay, the quality of the food was good. Our double room (the palms forest) was very clean and comfortably equipped. The bathroom was a bit tight, otherwise the room was a good size. In summary, we felt very comfortable in the Hotel Esplanade and would definitely recommend it. Read more

Very friendly and professional staff. Even with half board and a request for special diet (Atkins) no problem at all. Very impressive menu's and wonderful to sit on the terrass enjoying the nice view over the grounds, sea and mountains. A wonderful feeling and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Lovely room, had everything, safe, large closed (with enough hangers) bathroom with shower and hairdryer, comfortable beds and the position of the hotel on a small hill makes it very quite. Not for people looking to have action (disco) in the hotel.... Read more

Minus: the single room had a large bed, were however very small. There was no seating possibility except for the desk chair. Still small, very simply furnished and with lack of storage space at the sink, was the bathroom. The tv was placed on the desk, that the bed was extremely uncomfortable only. The breakfast buffet was very limited for a hotel in this price range (EZ about 200 euro per night) for example, there were eggs, scrambled eggs etc. only on request.HCLFHLThe prices in the restaurant were very high, but the therefor offered-both ...
