The hotel is ok with a friendly and helpful staff. Its main problem is that it advertises itself as a 4-stars hotel so you arrive with higher expectations. It is far from being a 4-stars hotel and you should keep that in mind otherwise you will be disappointed. The main thing we missed in the hotel is the lack of... more

We spent 3 nights here while visiting Lake Maggiore. This is a lovely hotel on the lake front and the friendliest staff. Our room had magnificent views of Lake Maggiore and was reasonably spacious and well-furnished. It was always a pleasure to return to its cool after a day out in Milan or the surrounding area. Free wi-fi is also... more

We stayed at the Ancora in October 2007 for 4 nts. It is a lovely, comfortable hotel and our room had a beautiful view over the Lake. The room had everything we needed including bathrobes and slippers and it was a really nice place to come home to after a long day travelling around the many beautiful towns on the... more

The Hotel Ancora was no disappointment! It was just lovely! The rooms are spacious by European standards, the baths seemed even larger, and the view of the lake is just beautiful. The staff was exceptional. Their English was perfect (along with their Swiss German, Italian and even French, plus who knows what else they can speak) and their helpfulness was... more

I stayed at this lovely hotel in Verbania (Intra) on the magical Lake Maggiore for 8 days in May with my wife and two boys (10 and 7). The hotel is definitely a true 4 star by global (rather than Italian) standards. We had adjoining rooms with balconies that looked across the lake. They were a reasonable size and the... more

Our long weekend stay was comfortable. Style is a little 90s in the rooms, but they are a decent size, clean and with a comfortable bed. Nice little touches like bathrobes, slippers, complimentary water, fruit on arrival ( well arrived when we went out for dinner) and 'aperitivos' for guests - although Intra has many great little cafe bars for... more

On the strenght of the TA reviews we booked the Ancora for 8 nights but we left after 4. The hotel is a 4 star in name only, more a decent 2 star bed & breakfast hotel. There are no facilities which a normal 4 star would have such as a pool/leisure centre, reading rooms etc. It has a small... more

Booked on-line. Very competent people to deal with. Double room with lake view cost €133 per night - including splendid breakfast. Only down side was the traffic noise - the double-glazing didn't quite stop it. Also, next door on our two nights a local bar played ghastly loud music with a thumping drumbeat until midnight. Not the hotel's fault, of... more

This was the very first night of two dear American friends in Italy. I wanted them to capture the spirit of an Italian village, the friendliness of people and hopefully to avoid the bitter surprises I sometimes got while travelling in Italy. Hotel Ancora came highly recommended by some friends and by other tripadvisor's travellers. I must say that despite... more

Chose this hotel on the basis of other reports on this website. A nice lakeside position, BUT the rooms with lake views also overlook the lakeside road, busy with traffic for 19 out of each 24 hours. If you want the view, you've got to take the noise! Room was fair-sized, clean and well-appointed. No bath in our room, but... more
