The best thing about this small and comfortable hotel was its location, with views of Lago Maggiore from higher floors and very nice outdoor cafe. On the weekend, a large crafts and produce market appeared on the small square below our window. The room and overall facilities were not not fancy, but the friendly staff did a great job with what they had and offered perks like free bottled water (sparkling or still) and newspapers. Be sure to pick up a free Ticino Ticket from the front desk, which makes buses, trams, museums, funiculars etc. accessible at up to 30% off.

Room tip: Ask for a high floor room with a lake view.

During two days at the hotel, we (two of us) had absolutely great stay. Very efficient and friendly staff, comfortable clean rooms, good Nespresso in the common room, beautiful terrace for Breakfast, cocktails, or just resting. Would;d recommend without reservation and go there again anytime.

We booked a double economy room. It was clean, warm and comfortable with wardrobe, chairs and a desk. WiFi available. The bathroom was small but completely adequate. The staff at the front desk were warm friendly and helpful. The breakfast comprised of fresh fruit juice, breads, fresh fruit, yogurt and cold meats & cheese. Nespresso machine provided great coffee. The location was excellent for us as is within short walking distance from train station. One of the unexpected perks of staying at this hotel was the offer of the ticino travel card. It allowed us to travel for free to Logana via train. The card also provides discount on a number of activities in the area which we did use on the ferry to Ascona . Would stay again and recommend to others for locality, cleanliness and helpfulness of staff

This hotel is an easy walk to the train station, lake, and central plaza. The location of the hotel does not require you to walk up a big hill from the train station which was a big plus for us since we did not have a car. The staff is friendly. The rooms are clean, and my room had a nice small balcony that overlooked the lake. The rooms also have black out shades (what I know from Florida as hurricane blinds) so the room gets very dark at night. The air conditioning worked pretty well, and the balconies have nice sun shades. The breakfast was filling. They have beer and wine available for purchase and coffee and tea always available. The outdoor seating for breakfast is open all day if you want to sit and look out on the lake with a glass of wine and a book.

While the staff was very friendly and helpful, their directions are not perfect. They will get you to within a few blocks of restaurants they recommend, but the x on the map may not be exactly where the restaurant recommendation actually is. Not a complaint, just be aware.

Our whole experience at this hotel was greatl. We had the top corner room pictured on the hotel photo, I believe it was #407 and it was really nice...not Four Seasons nice but nice....What an Awesome View! The people working at the hotel could not have been more helpful and the free breakfast was a perfect way to start the day. One thing I would suggest is to ask for more pillows...just say'n.

Room tip: Take the reviews with a grain of salt and lear to read between the lines.
