Went there for one night to go to the Moon and Stars. Booked the cheapest room and on arrival found out that I got upgraded for no upcharge because they had empty rooms for the night. Breakfast was a really nice buffet with plenty of good options. Would definitely recommend

The gentleman at the reception as well as the lady at breakfast were so friendly. It was a really special place, with Bauhaus architecture and an interesting history. Even if it took me a lot of effort to hike up to the hotel from the lake, it was totally worth it!

8/10 Very good

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.

Excellent stay, we may come back

Very nice location. You feel like in a little resort. The rooms looks like an hospital room. Only white with convenience bed. But everything was clean. We have an amazing view on the lake from the balcony.

6/10 Good

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!

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.

Great hotel, neat and friendly personnel. The garden is great to wander around and offers some great views of the lake. Getting to the hotel by bus is a bit hard. You'll have to walk up the hill. Also the rooms are not really soundproof, but since all people seemed to sleep in early this wasn't a big issue for me.

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.

Tainted by disappointing service

Unfortunately, this special place appears to be losing its soul. Compared with our last stay, the breakfast was very basic and the service only half-hearted. Worst of all, upon check-out the receptionist deliberately and pejoratively called me "Natasha", which felt as treating me with contempt as a guest. This was very embarassing and unprofessional, and discourages me from visiting this hotel ever again.

Das war ein weiteres Hotel auf meinem Rodtrip und das günstigste Einzelzimmer, was ich in der Gegend gefunden hatte. Die Anlage ist recht schön im Bauhausstil also in erster Linie praktisch. Das Zimmer war recht basic: Tisch, Bett, Schrank. Kein sonstiges Entertainment wie TV oder so. Die Nacht war irre heiß, das konnte auch der Ventilator nicht ändern. Das Frühstück ist dafür sehr gut, vor allem auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den See. Zur Uferpromenade führt eine sportliche Treppe, ist nicht weit, nur anstrengend. Auch hier wieder der übertriebene schweizerische Preis. In Deutschland würde das max. die Hälfte kosten.

Dejligt ophold med smuk søudsigt og god morgenmad, især hvis man er glad for ost. Den bygning jeg havde værelse i lugtede dog lidt af fugt. Tror det sad i gulvtæpperne.

Zimmer war gut und sauber. Sehr schöner Park und ruhig. Aber es wird nicht gut genug darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass man keine ÖV Verbindung hat zum Hotel. 15min Fussmarsch steil bergauf. Ich hätte dort kein Zimmer gebucht, wenn ich das gesehen hätte. Mit Auto ok zum Übernachten.

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.
