Tamaro In Ideal Location

Hotel Tamaro is situated ideally on the waterfront in the Ascona harbor. The accommodations are solid, if not spectacular. The front desk was extremely helpful and proactive in calling the evening of our arrival to ensure we were en route and waited late to check us in.

For the price and a one night stay, it was very nice. Recommended.

Perfect view of the Lake Maggiore

Bedroom view was the Lake Maggiore and proved to be the most pleasing part of the stay. Room size was alright although the bathroom and shower facilities needed an upgrade. During the stay, the weather was warm and with no airconditioning it was a bit stiffling and humid. Restaurant personnel serving at night was slow that made various customers leave as prompt attention was not given.

Die Zimmer sind etwas klein, das Bad ist neu renoviert und es hat einen grossen Flachbildschirm. Die Lage ist top!

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Besonders hat uns der Neffe (oder Sohn?) der Besitzer wohlfühlen lassen. Er begrüsste die Gäste stets mit einem Strahlen im Gesicht und war allgemein sehr aufmerksam. Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, dass man von unserem Zimmer aus sogar seitlich auf den See gesehen hat. Die Terrasse zum See, auf der man sein darf und auch das Frühstück geniessen kann, war grandios. Verabschiedet wurden wir mit den Worten: „Wir warten auf euch mit offenen Armen“. Wir bedanken uns für den schönen Aufenthalt in Ihrem Haus.

Old and unrenovated hotel, with slightly unfriendly staff (at the reception).
The room was nice with an enchanting view of the lake. The walls were very thin and so we heard everything from the next room.

Bien mais avec un peu de regret

Nous sommes satisfait de notre séjour et avons apprécié tout particulièrement l’accueil, même tardif, la qualité de chambre ainsi que le petit-déjeuner. Petit bémol, nous avons réservé et payé pour une chambre avec vue sur la cour intérieure. Malheureusement, nous avons reçue une chambre avec vue sur la ruelle adjacente et très bruyante en raison du bar qui s'y trouve. C'est donc un peu déçu et fatigué que nous avons quitter l'hôtel le dimanche matin.

Ich kann das Hotel weiter empfehlen an Menschen die nicht unbedingt das neuste und Modernste haben müssen.

Ouderwets, onderkomen en te duur

Het hotel is net so oud als haar gasten. Het ruikt mug, de kamers (gedateerd ingericht en niet stofvrij) zijn ernstig gedateerd. Met veel geluk krijg je water uit de kraan. De bedden verkeren in slechte staat en voorzieningen zijn er nauwelijks. Bovendien vreselijk duur voor wat geboden wordt.

Gut gelegen, ruhig und grosses Frühstücksbüffet

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gerade an der Promenade gelegen, hat jedoch in Richtung Stadt noch mehrere Häuser. Seesicht ist also nicht gewährleistet und offensichtlich den teureren Buchungen vorbehalten. Das Hotel ist sauber mit einem guten Restaurant und einem sehr reichhaltigen Frühstücksbüffet.
