We've just returned from two very pleasants nights spent at Ancorra Hotel & would definitely recommend this hotel. The breakfast & front desk staff were among the most notable positives about the hotel along with value for money & the fact that all the communal areas of the hotel had a very clean, modern feel to them, you get the...

We spent at this hotel only one night but were very pleased by its quality. The staff was very attentive. The room was modern and clean with lake view. Would definitely come back to this hotel if in Verbania again. More

We stayed here in January for a couple of nights. While our choice of hotels at that time of the year was a little limited, when we are in the area again, this will be our first choice.

The hotel is well located. The rooms are a little bit small. Breakfast was very good. Overall, a good deal. More

We stayed a week in July 2010 and our expectations were met almost every way. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the bedroom had a lovely lake view and the noise of the traffic was completely muffled by the double glazed windows. The air-conditiuoning kept the room cool. Cleaning was daily and we could have had sheets, towels etc... More

We had asked for a Lake View Room and were not disappointed. Our room looked straight onto lovely Lago Maggiore and was appointed beautifully which made the stay very... More

While you cannot compare Verbania with Stresa or Baveno, so you might miss a bit of the old lake atmosphere, it is very nice and practical as a transport hub. The hotel is very central, in front of the ferry point. We booked a deluxe room with balcony and were very satisfied. Nice and modern design, exactly as you see... More

We spent 2 nights there and were very unlucky with the weather (rain and more rain) so had to spend a fair amount of time in the hotel. When we first arrived, we didn't get the warmest of welcome. The lady was quite abrupt although she did give us good direction to a free car park (near the imbarcadero/ferry port).... More
