I took s last minute trip to Ascona and had wonderful luck booking a room overlooking the lake. The room was comfortable, had a petite balcony with a table and two chairs, and the bath was modern. The staff were AMAZING and Friendly. The food was delightful. Bteakfast was a typical European buffet, and eggs and bacon could be made to request. I will definitely return to this lovely hotel.

Beautiful view and a nice hotel!
Our family had a nice one night stay at the hotel. It is perfectly centrally located. The room has been updated recently and has a nice design. Our view of the bay was wonderful. The front desk was very nice and professional and the breakfast in the morning was great. Overall it was a very nice stay and parking up the street was easy to find, but contact the hotel prior to your stay to get directions.

Impressive
If you are looking for a great place to stay in Ascona, this is your hotel. Friendly staff, good service, free mini bar, free public transportation card, easy to use AC in the room, delicious breakfast with lake view, free bottle of mineral water on the way out. Clean and modern room, spacious, comfortable bed and towels, modern shower and bathroom, located in the center of Ascona near the lake for a normal price. I was impressed. The only negative: I heard some noises in the morning.
