We enjoyed staying at Tamaro hotel, stuff is very friendly, great interior, clean, good breakfast, even better dinner and bar, amazing view, great location.

Hotel Tomaro came as a surprise as I wasn't expecting wide stone-flagged hallways with antique furniture and rugs. Oil painings adorn the walls. There are even sumptuous sitting rooms should you want a quite place for reading or a chat. My room was well appointed, spacious and clean. The view across the lake is magnificent and well-worth the extra. The value is exceptional.

I found the feather pillows to provide no support and would have preferred foam or latex. I also found the sound of furniture being moved upstairs grating - surely some rubber feet would fix that? And then there was the breakfast - a few slices of cold meat and cheese, a small cup of muesli and machine coffee leaves a lot to be desired. They could do so much better.

The hotel leads directly onto the lakeside with its trees, restaurants and waterfront terraces. Its at the quieter end of the street close to the departure point for the boats and just a few steps form the charming small alleys of the old town. Wonderful to wake up to a lake view. The reception were very welcoming and happy to help. I was able to borrow a bicycle to visit a local museum. I would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly stuff - everyone from the reception to the room service is nice and friendly! Everything works smoothly and uncomplicated. Easy to feel comfortable and immediately relax. They repair the shower even before I mentioned that something was not working properly. When I came back in the evening the shower was working perfectly again. Amazing common terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful view on the lake!

The hotel is a little gem in the centre of Ascona, a truly warm and classic atmosphere in the best sense possible. The founding family is still in charge after 3 generations and you can feel the personalised care and attention for the guests. The views from the roof terrace are amazing and the whole structure is special, there are hidden treasures in every corner, including the art collection all over the property. It was an fantastic stay.

Nothing to complain about.

Everything was fine and nice...

Everything!

While corner terrace of room 102 facing the beautiful Piazza and the lake was breathtaking on its own, the staff has been friendly and accommodating, up-to-date air conditioning provided us with the necessary cool and the location could not be any more central with the boat pier and dozens of restaurants in immediate walking distance. I will definitely be back :)

The view and the location were perfect. Right on the promenade and water. The driver was super nice, as was most of the staff. The food at the restaurant was very good, but be careful. The "7" looks like a "1". We thought we were sharing the great priced 13 franc T-bone dinner. When it came out, it was beautiful, and the amount of food was huge. We were surprised to receive a bill for 146 francs plus drinks and such. He thought we meant to share the meal family style, not share one dish half and half, and we thought the 7 was a 1. Of course, we just chalked it up as experience.

It was hard to find at first. The sign is hidden by the awnings, and printed in white on a yellow background. The bed is really uncomfortable. It is two single beds that don't attach, so you fall through the crack in-between. When we arrived, we found only one large towel for two people and only 2 coffee pods that worked for that coffee machine. There was plenty of tea and pods meant for another device in the basket provided. When we called to ask for more towels and pods, the very unfriendly staff member brought up one more towel and exactly 2 pods. We thought she would fill the container, but we were told that was all we could have. Kind of ridiculous. In the morning the hairdryer started smoking when I turned it on and then died. The amenities need work!

The location is extraordinary- in the center of the old town right in front of the lake. The hotel owner and the staff were welcoming, and happy to help in every way. The room, facing the lake, was charming, comfortable and quiet. The hotel, an old house turned into a hotel, is beautiful, and has a terrace facing the lake that is absolutely wonderful.

I liked everything, I already want to return.

Very good hotel, the staff is so friendly and helpful. Beautiful location, directly on the Lake. Between the hotel and the lake is just a pedestrian promenade. Rooms very clean and well equipped. A clear recommendation for all potential visitors.

The matrasses a a bit thin in order to be comfortable, the beds could have been firmer. But it is complaining at a high level.
