staff friendly, breakfast was good. Hotel very outdated and beds very uncomfortable. Unlikely to stay again or recommend to friends. Good location. Just very average overall. No free parking, had to find a car park down the road, staff will direct

We stayed at Hotel Ancora on July 24, 2012. The room was small, as expected, but with a great view of the lake Maggiore. Clean, elegant, air conditinning - it made the stay very pleasant. Breakfast was excellent - with freshly "make it yourself" orange juice. Free internet. Nearby parking, not free though. This was a good place to stay,... More

The location is perfect, right smack in the town center, near countless restaurants and watering holes and a stone's throw from the Lake Maggiore ferry boats. Staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms well-appointed. My single room (N.38) was not especially large but tastefully decorated and complemented by a nice bathroom with tub and all usual amenities, with slippers... More

very good location in the city center. excellent room and good breakfast. parking near the hotel.some are free of charge (white) and some for pay. (blue). the hotel ask for extra money to upgrade the room for one with a lake viwe.

Excellent location; really good breakfast (for an Italian hotel) with delicious freshly-squeezed orange juice. The staff were all friendly and the hotel was generally clean throughout. Our 'double deluxe room with lake view and balcony' was acceptable at the price, although not outstanding. It was smaller than expected and had obviously undergone a facelift in the past decade using reasonable... More

We stayed at the Ancora Hotel for our honeymoon and it was a mixture of good & bad. Plus points are the magnificent views (from the balcony room), the very nice breakfast buffet, the friendly room staff, the excellent location to facilities & one of the reception staff who helped us with a late change of booking due to a...

The hotel is located close to the edge of the lake, across the main road. We had a room on the front with a view looking over the port towards Laveno. With the windows shut we did not suffer any noise problems from the road. The rooms are a good size and appeared recently updated. The bathroom was a bit... More

I'll keep it short and to the point. We booked months ago and were promised a room to accomodate my husband and I and my daughter with a view of the lake which we imagined would be the one shown in all the publicity shots. When we arrived we were sent up to the attic which had a very small... More

We stayed here for 9 days last month. Situation is perfect and our room had a balcony overlooking the lake and even the bathroom window had a great view down the lake. The room was not huge but has obviously been redecorated fairly recently. The style is almost art deco - wooden floors, clean lines, wrought iron furniture. Bed was... More
