We stayed at this hotel 19 -29 September 2012 and found the staff to be very friendly and professional. we stayed in room 14 which has a great view of the Lake. The room is fairly basic but clean and has a flat screen TV with BBC which if you want to keep up with the goings on in the... More

We paid about £570 for BB for a week. THis compares with £1265 for the Excelsior up the road. The Excelsior is a nicer hotel but not by that much! The big thing going for the All` Ancora is its position which is right on the waterfront. If you miss a pool there are plenty of places along the front... More

Small hotel, clean, basic, GREAT location in town centre. Owners are friendly, some people may think they are "brusco" but that's just Italians! They let us leave our bags there on the last day quite happily. This is a 2 star place - therefore do not expect 24hour reception, mini bars, pool etc. What you DO get is a clean... More

My hubby and I have just returned from our 3rd visit to the Ancora. It is a lovely little hotel right on the lake front and only 5 minutes walk from the harbour where you get the ferries. We used it as a bed and breakfast as we prefer the freedom of eating out in different restaurants every night, but... More

If I start from positives, there will be just one. A good location near the lake. However, if you come by car they will offer you a garage in another part of the Garda town. Staff was very unpleasent, except one "old man" perhaps the hotel owner. He was the only one smiling...When we wanted to eat breakfast outside in... More

Just returned from a 3 night stay, let me start with the positves: excellent location (right on the lake, close to ferry and bus) lovely views worth paying extra for a lake view, very clean maid service daily. Now for the negatives, air conditioning isn't great and was centrally controlled by the owners. Staff/owners were rude and abrupt. The breakfast... More

I have just returned from a fabulous holiday staying at this hotel with a friend. It is in a great location (on the lake front and only a couple of minutes walk from bus station) and the owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The hotel is spotless and we had maid service every day with... More

Owner very rude - likely to shout at you if you ask for anything Bedrooms very noisy as marble staircase used at night when lift turned off and main body of hotel locked. Owner and staff go home, so no-one on duty to deal with emergencies. Forget calling for a doctor; emergency phone numbers not in guest bedrooms. Bare wires... More

Until I stayed at this hotel I could not understand how anyone would return to the same location year after year.... not only do I now understand, I have in fact been returning twice a year for the past six years. The staff of the family run Ancora hotel work extremely hard to ensure that all their guests enjoy their... More
