Great location hotel overlooking the lake

Good location hotel, walkable distance from Ancona old town and lake. Nice pickup and drop of with hotel bus (from and to Locarno train station. Staff was overwhelmed with a series of group booking, confusion was evident but no improvement. My room was a small but with a view, AC not working and none of the staff knew how to fix it. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lake and pool was a nice setting but staff again overwhelmed with groups.

The location, the surroundings and the view of the hotel are wonderful. The personnel was very nice and helpful. But our room was really, really old. Not 4-star. Old carpet, very old appliances and lots of chipped items. The bed was comfortable though.

Hotel with a great view

Staff very friendly and helpful. All spoke good English. Good quality breakfast, not lavish but fruit, eggs, cheese, pastries all delicious. Enjoyed the dinners, the menu more Swiss German than Italian. Highlights were the pool, heated and big enough for real swimming, lovely terraces to eat and drink, views of the town, lake and mountains, spacious room (we had upgrade to lake view and balcony).
