Rating: ★★★★☆ “ I could come here every year “ sighed my husband with pleasure and really echoed my own thoughts after we arrived at the Hotel and entered our requested garden room, which we had liked so much the last time we came This family-run hotel truly captures the essence of Swiss hospitality with its personal touch, extensive gardens, and breathtaking views of Lago Maggiore. From the moment we arrived, we felt like a welcomed guests in a home away from home. The warm and friendly service provided by the hotel's staff immediately set the tone for our stay. One of the standout features of Hotel Tobler is its picturesque gardens. Spanning extensive grounds, the well-kept gardens provide a serene escape . The pièce de résistance, of course, is the spectacular view of Lago Maggiore. Waking up to the sight of the shimmering lake and the Swiss Alps in the distance was a daily pleasure. The hotel's elevated location offers sweeping vistas that make for unforgettable moments, especially during sunrise and sunset. Though Hotel Tobler may not boast the grandeur of some larger establishments, it makes up for it with its genuine warmth and personal touch. The rooms, though cozy, were well-maintained and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. In summary, we look forward to returning to this charming hotel in the near future.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Situated just above the centre of Ascona The Hotel Tobler enjoys spectacular views over the Lago Maggiore. The hotel grounds are spacious with green and leafy areas to relax in and take in the beautiful surroundings. There is an outdoor pool area with an indoor Roman bath where one can enjoy the warm bubbly water. During our 4 day stay, we had a comfortable garden room which is very convenient as parking is directly opposite and there is a small terrace and garden area in front of the room. There is ample parking at the Tobler Hotel and is included in the stay. Eating in the hotel dining room is a great pleasure as the picture windows allow guests to look out at the panorama of the lake and surrounding mountains. There is a stairway down to Ascona centre which is reached in a few minutes and the hotel is steps away from the hiking region through the nearby chestnut groves which at this time of year are glorious. The hotel also has a bike shed and guests can borrow bikes for an outing which is a definite plus as it means not having to be restricted to times when renting bikes from elsewhere. All in all, staying at the Tobler Hotel means not really having to use the car as everywhere is within reach and this makes it one of the best choices for a stay in the area

Having to leave the area is always sad but we are looking forward to our next trip

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

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

-Excellent view from our room -Great outdoor facilities and especially the pool area where you can sit and relax the whole day during a summer day -Great pool service and well prepared snacks available on the menu -Very friendly staff

-Our room was right below the breakfast area, therefore it was very loud in the morning from all the moving chairs -Definitely not a deal breaker, but the hotel could use a renovation in some areas

Amazing view!

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

The view from the room is beautiful. Breakfast was very good. Getting back and forth from the hotel is a bit Difficult. It is better if u have a car. The hotel sits on a high hill, going down is easy but going back uphill to the Hotel is very difficult.

Not much

super friendly staff! great atmosphere and absolutely service/client oriented. the location is fantastic. Breakfast was delicious. Really great value for the price.
