“Good place for fit people to stay.”
Very nice and helpful personnel. We expected to be able to eat dinner in the hotels restaurant, but it closed at 18:30. This was disturbing as we came by public transport and due to knee problems we could only go from and to the hotel by hotel shuttle- but this service was not available after 17:00. That tainted the good experience somewhat. We ate in our room instead sharing dinner in a restaurant for my husbands birthday.

“Excellent and well-managed hotel in a lovely elevated position overlooking Lago Maggiore.”
This is a delightful hotel in a lovely elevated position with excellent views over Lago Maggiore and the surrounding country. Plenty of car parking on site. Comfortable and well-equipped bedroom with a comfortable sitting room attached. Excellent breakfast with a very good selection of very good hot and cold food. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Very nice and impeccably clean, small indoor swimming pool. The larger outdoor swimming pool was covered during my stay at the hotel.

“"Charming Family-Run Retreat with a Delicious Breakfast Treat"”
The name Tobler evokes thoughts of chocolatey indulgence; fittingly, this hotel delivers sweet experiences from start to finish! We have stayed in Hotel Tobler in Ascona a few times now and really admire the delightful family-run atmosphere, as well as enjoy its prime location overlooking Lake Maggiore. The warm and welcoming hospitality made our stay feel personalised and comfortable. The hotel’s peaceful setting, nestled amidst lush greenery, provided a serene escape with easy access to Ascona’s charming town centre. A standout experience was the delicious Torta Caprese served at breakfast—rich, moist, and the perfect indulgence to start the day. I even asked if I could have the recipe and the breakfast staff organised this so that I have a handwritten recipe form Fausto in the kitchen . A big thank you to all of the staff and I will treasure this recipe particularly as it is gluten free and perfect to serve to guests who have allergies Whilst relaxing in the spacious garden and enjoying the stunning views, Hotel Tobler blends traditional charm with modern comfort, making it a memorable stay.

“A Charming Gem by Lago Maggiore - Hotel Tobler”
Rating: ★★★★☆ “ I could come here every year “ sighed my husband with pleasure and really echoed my own thoughts after we arrived at the Hotel and entered our requested garden room, which we had liked so much the last time we came This family-run hotel truly captures the essence of Swiss hospitality with its personal touch, extensive gardens, and breathtaking views of Lago Maggiore. From the moment we arrived, we felt like a welcomed guests in a home away from home. The warm and friendly service provided by the hotel's staff immediately set the tone for our stay. One of the standout features of Hotel Tobler is its picturesque gardens. Spanning extensive grounds, the well-kept gardens provide a serene escape . The pièce de résistance, of course, is the spectacular view of Lago Maggiore. Waking up to the sight of the shimmering lake and the Swiss Alps in the distance was a daily pleasure. The hotel's elevated location offers sweeping vistas that make for unforgettable moments, especially during sunrise and sunset. Though Hotel Tobler may not boast the grandeur of some larger establishments, it makes up for it with its genuine warmth and personal touch. The rooms, though cozy, were well-maintained and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. In summary, we look forward to returning to this charming hotel in the near future.

“We only stayed for one night, but we will be back to Hotel Tobler soon. Wonderful stay.”
The location above the town was perfect, close enough to walk, but quiet with fabulous views. Our room had a small balcony with chairs, comfy bed and both a bath and shower, what more could you want? The bar/bistro/breakfast room had lovely views over the lake. We only had breakfast in the hotel, but it was excellent with a choice of cooked English style and continental. You could also eat your breakfast on the bar terrace/balcony. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and understood English. Best recommendation is we will return to Hotel Tobler.
