"Excellent breakfast, top location, well-furnished room, charming balcony"

"I stayed at the Parkhotel in July with my husband and 9 year old daughter. It was lovely! The pictures do not do it justice - the hotel is so much better in person. The grounds are just immaculate with stunning views and plenty of space to explore. We stayed in one of the apartments - which was modern, clean and lovely. All of the room options are very close to the main lobby/pool area. Breakfast buffet was great and pool so nice. Although in the summer we did need to get down early to grab pool chairs before they were all taken. The front desk was friendly but somewhat limited in being able to suggest good restaurants in town. My only complaint is the restaurant and bar staff tended to always come across stressed and rude. Maybe it was because we were American (although we used our limited German) but the service was definitely not as friendly for what I'd expect in a hotel of this caliber. The pool/snack bar was certainly overwhelmed during the peak days and seating was limited and service hard to get - so may have just been a staffing issue. BUT everything else was so lovely we would definitely stay again. The property is worth it."

"To tell it immediately: I liked the one-week stay in the Ascona Lodge and I can recommend this accommodation in full! By the central and still quiet location – in a quiet side street next to the school sports place – you are walking within a few minutes' walk from the beautiful Ascona walk. The hotel was apparently completely restored just recently - and it was very beautiful, modern, thoughtful and worthy. I had a bright DZ in 2. OG to the south with small balcony and small bathroom – from size enough and tastefully furnished. I particularly liked the public spaces in the ground floor – the large kitchen in which the morning buffet is built and the seats in the style of a lounge in which you can take breakfast. The organization of breakfast is thought up to in small details, the food offered of quality and selection excellent - including very delicious sauce and cheese specialities, very delicious bread and bread varieties, Several yoghurts and orange juice that you can press yourself freshly. Another point: until 17:00, you can make free coffee specialities in the lounge. The staff is very friendly, premature and helpful, for example, with questions about business in the beautiful landscape. It is also highlighted the free bike rental of tour bikes - I used – or cheaply to borrow e-bikes every day. There is also a small garden with sufficient bed and small, heated pool. Conclude: I enjoyed the stay in the Ascona Lodge and I will certainly come back!"

"We booked 3 nights at this hotel and I was a bit apprehensive having read previous reviews but what a wonderful, positive surprise. We were picked up at the train station by the hotel courtesy service. Greeted by the reception staff and offered a welcome Prosecco or soft drink and snack. The room with large balcony overlooking the spectacular scenery was very nice indeed, including outdoor futniture. The room was spacious, extremely clean, modern, very comfortable bed, little bouquet of fresh flowers, selection of fresh fruits and sweets. A kettle was provided on request. Bathroom was large with all amenities. Breakfast was super with selection of fresh fruits, yoghurts, muesli, cereals, cold meats and cheeses, salmon, eggs, pastries and more. We had dinner in the hotel two nights (because the first night was so good) and the choice as well as the food was excellent. Compliments to the chef and his team. The gardens are beautifully maintained with sun loungers dotted around as well as around the pool area also with magnificent view. There is a very pretty pergola with outdoor seating where you can enjoy food or drinks overlooking the pool and wonderful scenery beyond. I paid particular attention to the staff due to previous reviews and found them somewhat surly although helpful and professional. However, we did get a bright smiley good morning from a guy who hoovering the corrider which compensated nicely. Also the lady who greeted us at breakfast and dinner was very friendly and chatty (I think she is a member of the family who owns the hotel) which I think is a nice touch. The hotel is located about 10 minutes walk down to Ascona centre and lake, probably a 15 minutes steep walk back up which we enjoyed as a form of exercise. The hotel provides a courtesy shuttle service on request also to and from Locarno train station We have visited this hotel a few times over the years and it just gets better and better. Well done team Ascona! We are already looking forward to the next visit and highly recommend it. A few more smiles from the staff, a show of friendliness and it would be perfect."

"See review above!"

"Right on the water with a great vibe, I stayed here just one nigh, but would have liked to stay. The location is unbeatable, 10 mins from the water. This is a boutique hotel in the truest sense. I got a warm welcome, the hotel had a nice modern and clean layout and my room had some nice individual touches. I was lodged at the top on the 4th floor and maybe the room was a touch small, but not complaints. There is a honesty bar, a large terrace and a spa with a pool. Can recommend."

"Good location near lake and Locarno, great apartments, very friendly, attentive and competent crew. Although the indoor pool is super, we always could use it completely alone and we were in it several times. That the hot water not always came, did not bother us."

"Hotel Garni Golf - a place to come back to ❣️ A family-like hotel where the owners and staff are helpful and make your stay comfortable . Great location, parking nearby. The rooms are big and very clean, with all the accessories you'll need. The Breakfast has a rich buffet, and the staff will fulfill any special request. Thank you 💜 Rita & Giuseppe (& little Melodi 🐾)"
