Centrally located, door step from the old town.
Short stay in Ascona. Very friendly and clean. Only hickup was that we had a room on the street side and it was a bit noisy but the rest is very good. Hotel centrally located.

Toll wenn …
Matratze hart. Bettinhalt billig und nur aus Kunstfasern. Sehr unangenehm zum Schlafen. Kopfkissen dick und ebenfalls mit unangenehmer Kunstfaser gefüllt. Sehr schade. Konnte nicht schlafen darin. Kaffe gratis jedoch ohne Kafferahm :-(
Sonst waere es top
