Ich gehe nicht mehr dort hin.
Cons:

Das Zimmer ist sehr klein. Sehr schmale Treppe, kein Lift. Bei offenem Fenster hört man die Klimaanlage stark.

Hôtel de charme bien situé avec personnel avenant et à l’écoute.
Pros:

Le charme de l’hôtel et la gentillesse des employés à l’accueil.

Cons:

La luminosité de la chambre était mauvaise.
La chambre était calme, cependant, heureusement que le restaurant de l’hôtel qui donne juste au-dessous de notre chambre était fermé les 2 nuits où nous y avons séjourné.

Hübsches Hotel mit Restaurant an zentraler Lage. Zuvorkommendes, freundliches Personal
Pros:

Gute Lage, gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal. Zimmer sind ok. Zimmerservice ist überdurchschnittlich.

Cons:

Zimmer könnten etwas heller sein. Die Deckenlampe gibt nur wenig Licht. Mit etwas mehr/besserem Licht würde das Zimmer noch freundlicher wirken.

Location in the center of old Ascona, close to the lake and with easy parking. Welcome at reception was excellent and room size huge. Breakfast and service was amazingly good. I'll be staying here if possible again next time in Ascona.

Cons:

Nothing. The entire stay and experience was flawless.

Klein aber super gemütlich.
Pros:

Der Service war super 👍🏻. Ich wurde sehr herzlich empfangen und beim Frühstück wurden alle unsere Wünsche zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit erfüllt.
Das Hotel kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist schon älter und verfügt über keinen Lift und man muss zum Teil hohe Treppen steigen. Für mich kein Problem da mir das so gefällt.
