Romantik Hotel Castello Seeschloss

“Perfect place”

A great place. Everything perfect. A paradigm for Swiss hoteliers. Great job. I highly recommend. The location, the very warm welcome, the restaurant for dinner, the wine, and the room of course. Oh, I forgot the golf course. For sure an ideal place.

“A perfect choice for Ascona”

We stayed for three nights with a 50% discounted half board voucher, although I did book an upgraded room with balcony - room 202 - which had a partial lake view overlooking the beautiful gardens. There was a small sitting area inside as well, and the room was really spacious enough for us. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and when we came back to our room it had already been made up. It’s also a hotel that still has a turndown service whilst we were at dinner. All lovely details. To put it succinctly, we loved the hotel! Its location at the end of the pedestrian zone was ideal, the cleanliness and comfort were 5-star and the personnel, from reception to wait staff and housekeeping were all wonderful! In other words, I have nothing but superlatives to describe this lovely hotel. We very much enjoyed our dinners in the lakeside restaurant - the only negative comment I would make is that the portions of the main course were simply too big. Our lovely waiter suggested he bring us half portions for our last night, which was just perfect. Some of the rooms apparently have beautiful painted ceilings, and although ours didn’t, we did very much enjoy the sitting rooms and other public places. We’ve just had a terrible year of family grief so this little trip away (we live in the French part of Switzerland) was balm for our souls. I’d love to come back!

“Another restaurant to recommend”

Had a very good meal here. Lovely setting, superb view of the lake. Good food good service. Will come again. Was quite busy but at the same time very relaxing.

The hotel itself is very nice. The staff all go the extra mile for you if and when needed. They are very friendly and approachable. Only a couple of minor niggles let the place down for me. The evening meal a la carte menu only shows 1 option for a main course. They will offer you an alternative if you ask them but they really should offer at least 1 alternative on the menu eliminating the need to ask. At least 1 meat, 1 fish and 1 vegetarian option. Also it's a great shame the actual bar at the hotel is never open but I understood the reasons why this is. On the plus side the breakfast choices were superb. Only things missing from a purely British point of view was no grilled or cooked tomatoes or sausages but with all the other choices I didn't miss it. 1 of the real stars of the show was the waiter at the restaurant across the road at the el lago restaurant that belongs to the hotel. If I couldn't see anything on the evening meal menu I liked he would ensure an alternative was made available for me, or if I wanted to add items like a bowl of fries or ice cream to a dessert he was the man who can. Daniel at reception is another star who both collected us from Locarno Train Station and took us back when our holiday was over. You couldn't pick a better location in Ascona than here. 4 minute walk to the bus stop for Locarno. A souvenir shop right outside the hotel. ( these places are hard to find by the way because there are so few of them) An outdoor restaurant overlooking the lake for your evening meals. And right on the front next to all the other local bars and restaurants along with the harbour a 3 or 4 minute walk away for trips out on the lake. Also only a 4 minute walk away from the nearest supermarket if required.
