The only disappointment is that there is no restaurant in the hotel and there is only one restaurant with a very limited menu in a nearby hotel.

This is a delightful hotel in a lovely elevated position with excellent views over Lago Maggiore and the surrounding country. Plenty of car parking on site. Comfortable and well-equipped bedroom with a comfortable sitting room attached. Excellent breakfast with a very good selection of very good hot and cold food. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Very nice and impeccably clean, small indoor swimming pool. The larger outdoor swimming pool was covered during my stay at the hotel.

A little dated but probably adds to its charm

A nice place to stay. About a 10 minute walk to the waterfront in Ascona. Hotel had great views of the lake. Good facilities and really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Breakfast buffet excellent. Overall a really good stay

Nothing at all

The name Tobler evokes thoughts of chocolatey indulgence; fittingly, this hotel delivers sweet experiences from start to finish! We have stayed in Hotel Tobler in Ascona a few times now and really admire the delightful family-run atmosphere, as well as enjoy its prime location overlooking Lake Maggiore. The warm and welcoming hospitality made our stay feel personalised and comfortable. The hotel’s peaceful setting, nestled amidst lush greenery, provided a serene escape with easy access to Ascona’s charming town centre. A standout experience was the delicious Torta Caprese served at breakfast—rich, moist, and the perfect indulgence to start the day. I even asked if I could have the recipe and the breakfast staff organised this so that I have a handwritten recipe form Fausto in the kitchen . A big thank you to all of the staff and I will treasure this recipe particularly as it is gluten free and perfect to serve to guests who have allergies Whilst relaxing in the spacious garden and enjoying the stunning views, Hotel Tobler blends traditional charm with modern comfort, making it a memorable stay.

No air con in one of the rooms in our double room suite.

It was great for a relaxed family holiday by the pool. The pool had sun all day and we had a great time, including our 4 year old daughter.

During hot summer months if there is no air conditioning, good and efficient ventilators would be needed!

Excellent breakfast, great location, outdoor pool area very nice and spacious! Staff was very caring and helpful! Good price/value

Very steep hill to walk back up from Ascona and no nighttime courtesy bus to help bring solo travellers.

Amazing view!

Pool was closed earlier than stated so I never managed to use the outdoor pool.

View of the lake and mountains from my room. A bit away from the town centre so quiet location. Very friendly staff. Parking available.

I can't think of anything I didn't like about the hotel, except cups instead of paper cups would have been nicer with the coffee machine in the room. Also perhaps a choice of English channels on the TV? But we never watched it as we were out and about in this delightful town.

The location above the town was perfect, close enough to walk, but quiet with fabulous views. Our room had a small balcony with chairs, comfy bed and both a bath and shower, what more could you want? The bar/bistro/breakfast room had lovely views over the lake. We only had breakfast in the hotel, but it was excellent with a choice of cooked English style and continental. You could also eat your breakfast on the bar terrace/balcony. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and understood English. Best recommendation is we will return to Hotel Tobler.

The hotel is on a steeper hill - we knew as our friends stayed at this hotel before so in case you don't come by car, be ready for a bit of "sport" up the hill ;) There is also a shortcut with stairs. We managed it Ok with one 5y. old and 1y. old in a stroller. The restaurant has a smaller Menu to choose from for lunch (and dinner I think too) Breakfast offered a wide choice; very good and tasty.

The staff was very helpful and friendly whenever we needed anything (we were a family with 2 smaller kids). Our room was very good, we had a big nice terrace with sunbeds, table and chairs, a sunshade. The food in the restaurant was very tasty.

Daily towel change - our room had a note saying that only towels left in shower will be changed, to save water and resources. We never left towels in shower or on the floor and yet they were still changed on daily basis. We would have had nothing against using the same towels for all 3 nights.

Stayed for 3 nights at panorama room. Great view and value for money. Room was very clean and serviced daily. Generous breakfast buffet, that was also supplemented during the breakfast, so even when joining in late there would be lots of food options left. Staff very nice and welcoming.

Overall the facilities are outdated and not corresponding to the hotel rating. Breakfast was rather poor quality in terms of products served.

Location and friendliness of the staff was exceptional! Nice pool area.

Stayed in July 2024

The breakfast look a bit meagre. It could have been better presented and there could have been more options for allergies.

I really enjoyed the pool, the gym and the special bath with massage lounges.

Stayed in July 2023

Advertised as all rooms with air conditioning which is not the case, I just had a fan. The restaurant was not open which I was not made aware of when booking. The rooms only had a thin curtain which meant I could not sleep from 5am when it started to get light. There was also no way to block out the heat from the sun. Overall I was very disappointed as it was not value for money !

Amazing views, helpful and pleasant staff, nice pool area
