The title says it all really. Rooms were a bit odd with an attempt to be modern that cheapend them. However, they were clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and views were excellent. Breakfast was good as was the location. Overall very good, particularly for Italy.

Nice hotel in a good location. You can take the public bus from the Verbania train stop to the hotel in about 25 minutes.

I found Hotel Ancora great for a short stay. The location is awesome, right in front of Lago Maggiore and very close to the pier. It is extremely easy to tour around the lake. I got a nice lake view room with balcony at a much lower price compare to other 4-star hotels by the lake in the area. The... More

I stayed here for 4 nights whilst training with work, gorgeous hotel over looking the lake. i was on my own for the duration but was made to feel very welcome and safe. Breakfast was continental and was worth having. overall a great stay, the surrounding shops are also worth a look.

We stayed here for 1 night last year after driving down through the Alps from Switzerland. It was one of the most attractive & well presented hotels ive ever had the pleasure of staying in. It’s in a great location, very clean, modern with a great bunch of staff. The one thing that really does pop the cherry on the... More

This is an excellent place to stay for both business in the area or tourism. Placed in verbania you can take the boats to travel across the lake, which from springtime to autumn is beautiful (read a translation of the novels of Piero Chiara if you have a chance). Hotel is clean, elegant and any detail is perfect. If you... More

We spent a week on Lago Maggiore and we choosed this hotel because of his location: Intra is wonderful for shopping, has great restaurants and it's near almost everything. It was a very pleasant surprise: the hotel is great in every way: the staf is extremely nice and competent, the owner always present (it makes a difference, believe me), breakfast... More

We stayed for 3 nights in the Ancora hotel! Ask for a room with a view ( of the lake...) and if possible with a balcony: it's great fun to watch the way Italian traffic unfolds... The rooms are very well isolated - no street noise at all once you close the windows . Comfortable beds, nice and well equipped... More

We stayed at the Hotel Ancora for two nights in August. The staff were very helpful, the rooms modern and comfortable with large bathrooms, great linens, etc. The location is terrific right across from the lake and not far from the main piazza. They serve a very good breakfast. Pick this place; it's a no-brainer.

One of those smaller hotels located in a historic city centre. Nice period building, rooms mostly renovated (seen 2), rooms with lakeview are very nice, not luxurious but clean and modern. Wi-Fi. The breakfast is ok, the table of the bar outside a nice place to hang out and watch people. Parking is opposite the street (public parking).
