The Hotel Schiff-Battello Ascona is friendly, clean and has a great view! The couple running this Hotel is very helpful! Why do I have to write 300 letters? This should be enough. The breakfast is extensive and you have a great view of the "Promenade". bla bla bla bla bla. This will be my last post as I do not... More

The hotel is everything it "says on the box". We asked for a room with a balcony facing the lake - we got it, but we didn't count on the hundred year old trees along the promenade! But it made little difference.If you want to see the lake, make sure your ask for the second floor. The room was comfortable... More

Very friendly and helpful, family run hotel with clean, bright rooms and balconies overlooking promenade and Lake Maggiore! What a view! Was worth everything! The most central location with breathtaking views, especially enjoyed as we were eating a delicious buffet breakfast outside! A free boat ride to island was thrown in, as were first evening pre-dinner drinks. Would return without... More

Imagine to be in a room where you have a balcony to enjoy fresh pure air, night and day, and a view thats look at a little walking road at just 24 steps from the water. Well I got it for 7 nights and was a pretty well place to sleep well dream as a little kid. The Hotel Schiff... More

Also traveled with two other friends to this little hotel! This is not the Ritz, but what it is lacking in great rooms is made up with great views and very hospitable folks! We had the lake facing rooms with balconies which really made the room worth the price. The rooms were very clean. Equally the breakfast was very good... More

Arrived as a late afternoon 'walkin' requiring a one night stay. The front desk, manned by the hotel proprietor, was very efficient. He is a very precise and friendly man. Our room looked out of the side of the hotel, and was acceptably quiet even with the window open. It was very clean with a good quality bed and linen.... More

The hotel is in a great position overlooking the lake. We had a large, clean room at the rear of the hotel which was quiet and comfortable. The hotel staff were very helpful when we arrived, they gave us the directions to a free car park 500mtrs from the hotel as we did not plan on using our car during... More

What a shame. We were really looking forward to spending Easter in Ticino and used one of the Swiss travel websites to book a hotel on the waterfront at Ascona. The booked room was described as a 'lovely double'. Unfortunately what we found was decidely unfriendly staff at reception and a distinctly unlovely room. It was old fashioned and very... More
