This is an older hotel in an excellent location. We had paid extra for a "partial view" of Lago Maggiore, but we must have been upgraded since we had a lovely little balcony with a full view of the lake. We really appreciated this because it was kind of cold and windy (end of November) but we were still able to enjoy the view and the sunrise before leaving for the airport to fly home. The breakfast is very nice and we were able to find free parking in one of the large lots down past the railway station, about a 10 minute walk away. As a normal hotel, this property has a full reception, and the staff were helpful in printing our boarding passes and answering our questions. The owners of this hotel should consider replacing/upgrading the showers. We enjoyed walking along the lake front and having coffee at one of the places along there. For dinner, I recommend 900 Novocento Ristorante on Corso Liberazione 28. Their food is excellent, the staff nice, and their historic dining room has a cozy fire (in cooler seasons) in a big old stone fireplace. Highly recommended.

Convenient, lovely , on the Lake.
It's a nice hotel on the shore of Lake Maggiore. Not too fancy, but the staff are lovely. Pay the extra and get a room with a balcony as it makes it so much nicer to have the view of the lake etc.

Doesn’t do What but says on the tin!
Advertised with air con but the room was sub tropical and hotter than hell! Tried to get it sorted but after two days of being fobbed off I finally got told they’d turned it off as it worked for the building but wasn’t needed now as it was cold outside! Checked out a day early to get a decent nights sleep! Only positive is the restaurant next door which is fab

What a Disappointment!
We booked this hotel for the last night of a 12 day trip to Italy and Switzerland. What a disappointment! From the check-in where the woman could have cared less to help us, to the fact that there actually is no parking at the hotel (there is paid on-street if you can find it, or a couple paid lots blocks away), to the room that needs total updating - torn wallpaper, stained and worn carpet, toilet seat that twists when you sit - to the super rude guy at check-out. The only good things about this hotel were the helpful and friendly waiter at breakfast and the location. If you want to be in the heart of the waterfront/historical district with lots of shopping and dining options (although noisy crowds outside the hotel rooms), this is the place to go.

Location, location, location..... this hotel has that in spades. But the overall condition- even in the updated rooms is not great. I had black mold in my shower.
