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.
