Absolutely stunning part of the hniverse. Ideal for humans. Make sure you get a lake facing room with a balcony and so on as I just stopped off for a nap and just took a sungle room without balcony but the view was spectacular through the window. Unfortunately there was some type of office motivational meeting for a company when I visited so all the name badges gave me Betty Ford flashbacks. It was extremely peaceful though, breakfasting was mediocre, bed was very comfortable and showering and toileting facilities were very good!

A cool experience as much as a stay.

Great stay, friendly helpful check in . I was given a better room than booked as it was now with a view . When I booked and paid , I hadn’t noticed it was a shared bathroom and toilet which I’m glad didn’t put me off as the hotel itself is an historical experience with beautiful grounds and its own museum! The aesthetic is Bauhaus which I found to be very atmospheric and evocative. The walk to the free bus service up and down the hill might not be for everyone, especially in the 33 degree heat i had. I saw a complaint on another review about the breakfast!? I found it memorable, tasty and wholesomely filling , eaten on a restaurant terrace with a beautiful view . The restaurant staff were also helpful and pleasant. I would stay again.

Nice and quiet place to stay and explore. The location is best to view the beautiful town and lake below. Lots of hiking trails besides the long winding road to and fro Ascona. WiFi is not readily available and tugging suitcase over the cobblestone is a challenge. Breakfast is great.

Das Hotel ist etwas besonderes, historisch und in einem tollen Park. Die Aussicht ist super, es gibt kostenlose Parkplätze und schöne Wanderwege in der direkten Umgebung. Preis/Leistung gut. Vorweg: Ich werde bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen. Bei meinem Besuch war ich aufgrund der Bestimmungen vom Bundesrat gezwungen, im Hotelrestaurant zu speisen. Das Restaurant war leider enttäuschend. Die Speisen waren leider nicht gut, der Service war träge und unzureichend.

Nice hotel with gorgeous view on Lago Maggiore

very nice hotel, a car is highly recommended as the hotel is up a steep hill, gorgeous view on Lago Maggiore, breakfast is served on a beautiful terrace, nice breakfast buffet, the lake area (Switzerland and Italy) can be easily explored when staying at the hotel, Locarno is within walking distance, some might prefer a taxi for returning to the hotel

Great Lake Maggiore visit

Fantastic room with views and elevation - quite warm in July 15-17 2015 to 35C without aircon and mosquitoes makes nights very warm- kept windows open and mosquitoes etc - less sleep. Great breakfast on top terrace. Admin staff and all just lovely. Will return.

Not good!

This is the first time I have used hotels.com and the write-up was not representative of the hotel. This is a three star hotel and the rooms I was first given were like a youth hostel room, one did not even have a window to look out of. I was moved to a better room after complaining and showing the staff the photographs on the hotels.com website. I still did not get a room as per the pictures.

There's nothing to complain about with the hotel, the staff, or the breakfast. It's a 499-step walk to Ancona. We had to get a taxi to Locarno. But that wasn't a problem, since the reception was open 24 hours. We had a great time at the hotel.

Komfortabler Kurzurlaub

Auch beim späteren eintreffen um 21.30 Uhr, wurden wir zuvorkommend begrüsst und der Zimmerschlüssel ausgehändigt. Das Zimmer war im Bauhaus, wir hatten einen Hund dabei. Das Zimmer war geheizt und sehr sauber, die Betten komfortabel, die Matratze etwas weich aber nicht durchgelegen. Die Bettdecke gibt sehr warm, toll für Menschen die schnell kalt haben. Die Fenster können mit einem Rolladen verdunkelt werden. Das Badezimmer ist mit Duschgel und Shampoo ausgestattet. Der Frühstückstaum ist ab 7.30 Uhr offen, das Servicepersonal sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Buffet ist vielfältig und der Kaffee, Cappuccino oder Latte Macchiato ist von guter Qualität. Alles in allem war es ein toller Aufenthalt, sehr zu empfehlen.
