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.

Everything was fine and nice...

Everything!

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 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 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.

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 :)

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.

Exceptional views straight to Lago Maggiore. Our room was spacious and comfy and the balcony big enough to enjoy the view with a cup of coffee. The staff very friendly and the breakfast very rich and delicious. Also here you could choose to eat inside or outside, on the lake shore, absolutely amazing! It is 5 min walk from the bus stop and in the city centre so walking distance to practically everything. The port is not even 50 m away. Would recommend it!

We had a lovely stay at hotel Tamaro. The location is top notch and the staff was super helpful and accomodating. The room was big, had a partial view, and the bathroom had just been renovated. Overall, super happy with our stay.

The only downside to the hotel would be the decor and choice of color palette. The couch/sofa area and the choice of paintings did not match the new/modern style of the bathroom which made it for a weird combination. But other than this stylistic option, all good.
