Single rooms are often sqeezy corners in an hotel. At Ancora, I got a modern, stylishly decorated place, with a large, beautiful bathroom, and balcony. All details are taken care off. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is refined and classy... and this in front of the navigazione, with best trattorias in 2 min walk...

Well, it's more an Italy and verbania problem: I found a car charging spot in front of the carabinieri (safe;-)!!) But the heart of Verbania is a blind spot for E cars. No chargers. Come on Italy, get to terms , the navigazione can easily harbour a handful of spots what are you waiting for?

Everything. Great location, just across the street was the ferry terminal going to all the towns and islands on the lake. Bus stops outside the hotel. Lots of shops, restaurants and cafes all with a short walk. The reception area has a welcome drink, with wine, juices, water, and coffee with lots of delicious cookies and snacks, which was very welcome after a long drive. The hotel was very clean, comfortable and modern with everything you need, including a kettle with tea/coffee and water and snacks free of charge. A safe and mini fridge was also in the room. The shower in the bathroom was fabulous. Plenty of nice toiletries. Last but by no means least, the staff were fantastic. They were so helpful and friendly.

I cannot think of anything negative to say about the hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Ancora. The location is excellent, close to everything we needed. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. What truly stood out was the exceptional service — the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Special thanks to Helena at the reception, who went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Her warm attitude and attention to detail were truly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!

Our stay was superb! But there were noises that we could hear late at night and in the morning. Like steps, banging, moving furniture and slamming doors. Noises were from above us. It was just weird that we hear it regularly. It disturbed us most of the time especially in the morning when we want to sleep in. It was not just 10 minutes but it was for hours.

Wow! What a hotel. Everything was perfect. Spacious, comfortable and really nicely designed room. Great bathroom. A/C worked super well and very silently (I don’t take this for granted, even in 4* hotels). The breakfast was absolutely wonderful too. Staff was super friendly. Right next to the shore & Promenade, ferry terminal and city center.

Absolutely no complaints

Garage closed box available with extra fee making sure our car was very safe In the center of the town so very easy to have restaurant and activities nearby Dogs allowed with a fee and dog friendly staff Nice view on balcony on the lake Very friendly staff helpful and kind Small fridge in the room Good Airco

Bathroom a little outdated Shower water didn’t flow too well meaning the shower easily overflows

All staff were incredibly service-minded and helped us with everything from changing rooms to vegan breakfast options and the housekeepers had great attention to detail. The table of snacks in the lobby and the free coffee in the room was much appreciated throughout our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the view from the balconies was amazing. The rooms were sound proofed so we did not notice the noise from the street or other guests.

Lovely stay! The staff were wonderful, breakfast was exceptional (everything most people could want) and a great location for restaurants, shops, cafes and ferry travel. Lots of lovely extra touches, and super child friendly.

The beds were slightly hard for my liking but broadly okay.

Lovely boutique hotel with interesting features. Nice breakfast and good location. Even though it was on a busy road, we weren't disturbed by any noise. The snacks and welcome drinks were a really nice touch.

It was a shame there were a large amount of roadworks obscuring the view of the lake - not the hotel's fault, but did detract from our experience.

The Breakfast was great !!! The room too, apart from the fact that the single room was very very small...Whereas most of the hotel give a small double for a single, each of us had a very small single for a single (kind of the chauffeur's room).

Staff charming; when getting my room, I thought that it just deserved the 4 stars, because of the small size... Anyway, our 2 nights there were agreable and we might get back to this Hotel, thank you.
