Verbania hotellia

Plussat: Lovely hotel over the road from a promenade and boat terminal. Easy bike riding to a lido, beach area and Villa Taranto

Plussat: Location is excellent, we had a triple room which was massive and staff very helpful and friendly. Pizza restaurant right next door was great too..:)

Miinukset: ..nothing

Plussat: We were actually moved to the Pallanzo - just a few blocks from the San Gottardo and part of the same group. The hotel and the building is beautiful and authentic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is top and the breakfast was good. Would certainly stay there again.

Plussat: Great location with ferry terminal across the road. The view from our balcony was stunning, many hours could be enjoyed just looking

Miinukset: There was a charity music festival for two nights of our stay. It was very loud and kept us awake until 2am. The hotel should have informed us at the time of booking, as this was a big disturbance and we would have booked the following week if we had known.

Plussat: Perhehuone oli tilava ja puhdas. Huoneessa oli ihana parveke ja upea näköala järvelle! Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja aamupala oli hyvä. Hinta-laatusuhde oli kohdallaan!

Miinukset: Äänieristys oli huono, erityisesti kadulta kuului paljon meteliä.

Plussat: Todellan ystävällinen henkilökunta, hyvä aamiainen. Hotellilla oma parkkipaikka pienen kävelymatkan päässä.

Plussat: The hotel was the old Italy style... nothing modern very unique.. location was brilliant opposite the ferry terminal for all trips on the lake... view from our balcony amazing, pay the bit extra for lake view..

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Kiva ja siisti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla, kaunis näköala huoneesta järvelle. Oltiin autolla liikenteessä ja välillä saatiin auto ihan hotellin eteen maksuttomille paikoille ja välillä jätettiin hotellin omaan parkkiin joka oli pienen matkan päässä. Ei ollut meille mikään ongelma. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja aamupala hyvä. Hotellin vieressä oli pari hyvää ruokapaikkaa ja laivat järvelle lähtevät ihan edestä joten sijainti on todella hyvä!

Plussat: The hotel's view is amazing, it is a very clean and comfortable hotel, with a great breakfast ! The Maggiore lake is wonderful, like many other places in Italy!

Plussat: The location is good. Room size

Miinukset: Couldn’t find any parking because it’s a busy area. I was told to go to a parking lot shared with the hospital located 10mn away. I ended up finding a spot closer but it was a huge hassle. The bed was fairly hard and the room could have been furnished better. The window we had faced a wall that was maybe 4’ away from us.

Plussat: Beautiful property very clean bed comfortable

Miinukset: Noisy room at night and morning lucky only 1 night stay , booked breakfast they said I had not lady in morning said have a coffee she was lovely

Plussat: great location and friendly staff. Breakfast was nice and the room was clean and tidy. Shower was good and balcony views were brilliant.

Miinukset: hard pillows

Plussat: The only thing worth the rate is the location

Plussat: Beautiful lakeside location! The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and large enough for 3 adults and our small dog. I would definitely return to Hotel Pallanza.

Miinukset: The quality of coffee served at breakfast could be improved.

Plussat: Very clean

Miinukset: The carpets are old and used

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti, hyvä huone ja ikkunasta upea järvinäkymä. Aamupala ehkä muuhun tasoon nähden vaatimaton

Plussat: the room was nice but bare.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, polite and helpful. Great location.

Miinukset: Substandard facilies, dirty room. Upon arrival had to change the room due to many huge spiders and webnets in the room. Very cheap unimaginative breakfast with juices from plastic packaging (mind you we are in Italy,!!) , old smelly carpeting, obsolete furniture and the whole tired atmosphere of the place that looks nice only on the photo... Shower cabin with black from fungus silicone and rusty metallic part. The most annoying was the heavy rock music from the next door facility that made our bed tremble up to 12.30 in the morning. Definitely not for those seeking calm holiday. The customer service as business, not the people, who are very kind!! , is quite average compared to 4 star hotels that I have visited in the world. No safe in the room. They take your objects to the safe in reception, but in case you need them or need to leave urgently the place due to circumstances, you cannot get access to them till the morning and you are not advised about it... It is a shame , as the place has an enormous potential.

Plussat: Fantastic location. On the waterfront, next to ferry station and several good restaurants. And just next to Cafe Simplon - coolest place in town for pre- and after-dinner drinks. Traditional Italian hotel - small but clean and comfortable rooms. Seeview is worth the extra money. Breakfast is good value for money - and better than most in Italy.

Miinukset: Cannot find anything really negative.

Plussat: We got a really nice room upgrade with sea view, staff was very friendly and helpful. And initially we were happy with this upgrade.

Miinukset: After having a shower we noted that the bathroom had a rather unpleasant smell for a while. This reoccurred after each use; we were unable to find the root cause. Since we stayed only for the night, we didn’t bother to call reception. A second nuisance started a bit later the evening, apparently they had at least that Saturday a DJ, dance event up to midnight right next to the hotel. So no sleep till midnight.

Plussat: Centrally placed.

Miinukset: Tiny and slow elevator. Announcing with "free parching nearby", but "nearby is 5-10 min walk away. They have a garage, but that costs €15 pr. day....

Plussat: Fantastic view of the lake

Miinukset: Breakfast expensive compared with the fantastic coffee shop right next door

Plussat: Location and breakfast.

Miinukset: One of the staff accompanied us in our room but he did not offer to carry our lugage, My friend is 80 year Old lady carrying her lugage, the staff supposed to help carry our lugage, I had 2 lugages frommy other friend who is 76 year old.

Plussat: perfect location and room confort

Plussat: Loved this place. Perfect location on the lake, with beautiful views. The room was nice and cosy. Breakfast was good, and staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again should I ever return to Verbania.

Plussat: Perfect location

Plussat: Great location, nice terrace, good bar aside, great food, nice walking ways at the lake, ...

Miinukset: Bit slow response from the bar, cleaner response in specific issues, ...

Plussat: The room with the balcony. Great location.

Plussat: Location is right naar the lake. Close to small restaurants and bar facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing. No real negative remarks.

Plussat: We got stuck with a broken car nearby, so the booking was done on the spot. The room we were placed in even had a sea view; so we generally did like the place, it has a family owned touch and feel to it. There is a nearby beach we used for a swim. And we had dinner in the evening at the hotel, which was also really good, and prices were reasonable. Breakfast was fine too. We would book it again if in the area.

Miinukset: Some, but not all staff, seemed a bit annoyed. We also found the beds okay, though a bit too used.

Plussat: Room with sea lake view clean big and recently refurbished.

Miinukset: It took a while to find parking since the hotel does not have own private parking

Plussat: Mukava miljöö ja hieno rakennus, ihana maisema.

Miinukset: Ravintolan ruoka oli surkea.

Plussat: The staff bent over backwards to ensure our stay was pleasant.

Miinukset: No parking set aside for guests.

Plussat: Bed very comfortable and breakfast good value

Miinukset: Noisy hotel. Old airco made a lot of noise. You can hear the guests from all arround. For 200 euro/night I would like to see more comfort.

Plussat: Sijainti!!! Todella hiljainen vaikka sijaitsi ihan keskustassa.

Miinukset: Huoneemme ei ollut järvelle päin.

Plussat: Breakfast Good,Staff excellent Service,

Miinukset: Room very small,bathroom for a 4 Star Hotel Not Acceptable.. floor was painted...

Plussat: Staff really friendly and helpful. Spacious room. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: A bit of ‘oldish’ feeling in the room, could be refreshed. Room view was great but unfortunately we could not open the windows for more than 15min for the incredible noise coming from main road passing along the hotel... but this is a difficult issue to solve.

Plussat: Help from the the staff

Plussat: - Outstanding breakfast - Good location to access ferries to islands - Very friendly staff

Miinukset: - Family room/apartment: very noisy in the night (restaurant close by), no window in bathroom, too many stairs without elevator

Plussat: Great stay with amazing breakfast

Miinukset: Dark apartment with less light

Plussat: Great location. Good infrastructure. Beautiful small shops. Cute town. Two amazing restaurants nearby: La Latteria and Ossetia Castello. Boats and ferries in front of hotel. Intra is much nicer than touristy Stresa.

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet a bit crowded.

Plussat: Comfortable near the lake near parking, high class staff

Miinukset: The shower

Plussat: Todella ystävällinen henkilökunta, sijainti erinomainen, hyvin äänieristetyt huoneet ja ikkunat.. kadun äänet pysyivät ulkopuolella. Hotellissa oli jotenkin erikoinen tunnelma. Ilmastointi toimi hyvin. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja maittava. Suosittelen.

Plussat: Mahtava järvi ja alppimaIsema Hyviä ruokapaikkoja vieressä Rannalla

Miinukset: Pieni hidas hissi

Plussat: Central location with lovely lake views Pet friendly Welcoming staff Car park close by and vouchers available to purchase from reception Great breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Big, clean, outdoor area was amazing!!! Magical there were swans in the lake at the hotel - like a fairy land.

Miinukset: Both my husband and I like to workout in the mornings (early) and the gym didn’t open until 10 am (understanding Italians run on a different schedule) this was annoying for us. The gym also didn’t have the best equipment (free weights and matts) - this is very minor as most people don’t like to work out at 7am on their holidays!!

Miinukset: Too expensive for what it is, it needs to be renewed-

Plussat: Walking area, grandiose lake view, swimming in the lake, food at the restaurant, lounging in the garden,

Miinukset: I am pregnant and having a bathroom upstairs is not convenient ( superior suite).

Plussat: The garden and the view of the lake. Very good housekeeping. With so many guests, breakfast could have been a nightmare, but the Maitre’d had in place an extremely effective system that ensured everyone had a table to enjoy the extremely good Mediterranean style breakfast. Sadly, the cooked food option was pretty inedible.

Miinukset: The ridiculously small shower (the position of the taps ensured there was not enough space to turn or bend over in the shower cubicle) and narrow bathroom, especially for a deluxe double room. The supposed double bed (in reality two single beds thrown together) was most uncomfortable and unforgiving, with the result that neither of us slept well and woke with back pains! Dinner in the hotel restaurant was a major disappointment. The menu remained unchanged during the four nights we were there, and a less Italian menu would be difficult to imagine. The standard of cuisine was not what one expects of a hotel of this standing; the risotto main course arrived but the Arborio rice was simply undercooked and nearly raw, and we had to return the tiramisu dessert because it bore no resemblance to a true italian tiramisu and the taste was disgusting. After that experience we never returned to the restaurant, choosing instead to enjoy the far better and authentic italian cuisine in the nearby village. With the notable exception of the housekeeping staff, who were always friendly and helpful, it is sad to say that we found the hotel staff rather nonchalant and, in the bar and restaurant areas, rather too overbearing. We have no hesitation in recommending Pallanza, and the lovely amenities in the village, as a superb destination for a holiday by the lake, but we would hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Great location and view, grand style and architecture

Miinukset: Hotel feels very old-fashioned and tired in most aspects - seems like its good years are long past. Staff was not very attentive, we waited for 15-20 minutes until we could find a waiter to order drinks - the one waiter who was there was friendly but seemed overwhelmed doing all by himself (while having to serve the hotel owner dinner...). I made a mistake during my booking and front desk was very inflexible in resolving it. I had to call a booking.com agent who himself needed a long time to make them react. Overpriced for the service and facilities.

Plussat: Unfriendly and arrogant staff at reception Booked the room for 3 adults with side-lake view 11 months in advance, by arrival we Just got a 2p room and no lake view. By showing the booking papers the Just put a crappy camping-bed instead of the television-desk. Totally not a 3adult worthy!!! After complaining they suggested an upgrade to a normal 3p room for 220 euro per night EXTRA! On top of this the rooms are very old-fashioned, even no free bottle of water, no dry-clean or ironning services due to danger of fire Hahahha and this in a 4 star hotel, are you kidding me!

Plussat: A Perfect location close to restuarants/shops. Lots of interesting places to visit around the lake

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Every thing was perfect, location,breakfast,staff, clean

Plussat: Location Garden

Miinukset: Staff’s attitude

Plussat: Wonderful grand hotel located by the lake, the personnel is very nice and helpful. Beautiful panoramas on the outside when you reach the terrace after the magnificent lobby, and garden. You can walk to a small part of town (Pallanza-Verbania) nearby, and in reaching distance to Verbania center. The restaurant is absolutely excellent, worth a try at least. The indoor pool is super and you can also rest outside in the garden, or even swim in the lake as well. Then please have a treat in the sauna/spa area if you can.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Staff and location

Miinukset: No parking

Plussat: Very friendly staff, good location, delicious breakfast.

Miinukset: It was all ok. A little tight elevator but this is just small problem or no problem.

Plussat: Fabulous location right on the lake, newly renovated room and bathroom, super friendly staff, great breakfast!

Plussat: Location good, close to the main square & Ferry port

Miinukset: Room had insufficient hangers for clothes , and it was not a double bed as requested ( 2 pushed together was very uncomfortable)

Plussat: Location excellent, as was view of Lake Maggiore from our 3rd floor room - luckily between the magnolia trees Staff friendly and helpful, breakfast good.

Miinukset: Parking is difficult: there are some free on-road spaces (we managed to find a spot 500m from the hotel) or there is a paid carpark nearer to the hotel (don't know how much or for how long!) Bed mattress was very hard and I woke with whole skeleton aching each morning.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Room was very comfortable. Great location.

Plussat: Excellent location, clean rooms and friendly staff

Plussat: Nice location, directly at the lake. We had a room with lake view which made for a pleasant view in the morning. Good air-con. Bathroom was big enough and great. Reasonably clean, excellent staff and breakfast.

Miinukset: Beds were pretty uncomfortable. Really bouncy and very hard, flat pillows (cheeks hurt in the morning!).

Plussat: Breakfast ok. Coffee served. Room not large, but bathroom ok. This is only a breakfast hotel. The boat to Isola bella(fantastic place) departs 100m from the hotel. Beach 5 min walk away.

Miinukset: It`s expensive for what it is, but it is Lago Maggiore.

Plussat: The great lake view and the location

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen, todella hyvää leipää

Plussat: Great location near the lake.

Miinukset: Had to pay extra to park and walk a few minutes to get to the hotel even though on Kayak's website it said they had parking. No wifi available in rooms. Broken mini bar. Hairs on toilet even though the clean seal was around the toilet seat. Stained towels.

Plussat: In the center of the town

Miinukset: View just to the building in front. Poor breakfast

Plussat: Service level very good Nice and helpfull staff Well located Good value for monney

Miinukset: Pillows not soft enough. Chair pad could improve the comfort.

Plussat: Centrally located. Helpfull owners and lovelly new room. Balcony with tables and seats on 2nd floor for everyone.

Miinukset: Location (on pedastrian street) might be problem if coming with car because no own parking place. Breakfest limited and basic. It was not a problem for me but might be for some expecting bigger choises. Shower is extreemly narrow - it will be unconvienent to use for one with 100+kgs

Plussat: There is one very kind person at the reception and it's highly recommended to contact him in advance so the check in will go smoothly. Parking - public available at a cost of 1.5 euro per hour and is near by

Miinukset: No elevator, so it has to be noted that suitcases should be light.

Plussat: Really appreciate that the lady asked me if I was there for the marathon, and offer me therefore a late check in and an early breakfast. Great service really appreciated

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Central location in town.

Plussat: Perfect located in oldtown, steps from restaurants bars and waterfront

Miinukset: Air condition didn’t work

Plussat: Everything was great and friendly.

Plussat: Great location, good sized room, great balcony, friendly helpful staff.

Plussat: Everything was clean and as expected.

Miinukset: WiFi was lagging a bit but ok

Plussat: -Cleanliness (the cleaning lady passed each day) -Friendly and polite staff (the receptionist, the restaurant staff, the barista lady...) -The disponibility of the receptionist to help us change the room when we've arrived -The quiet and calm of the place -The view from our chamber -The gardens of the hotel -The fact that the hotel can offer you a parking place in the nearby city parking when the hotel paking is full -In the summer, the hotel offers/has a deal with the local passenger boats and you can go for free to the Isola Bella and for a bit of extra cash you can go with the same boat to the other islands also (of course, you will have to pay the entrance to the palace or the botanic garden on the islands) -The breakfast was ok, the usual one in a hotel: cheese, eggs, prosciutto, juice, croissants etc -The air conditioning really works! :) -Very good WIFI -The city (Intra)

Plussat: Allgood

Miinukset: Noisy for a while in my room first evening

Plussat: Fine place , good location. A little bit dated but allthough the aircon was also a little dated it worked perfect (thankgod!). The woman of the reception was not particulary friendly, the man at the departure was very friendly.

Plussat: Free parking. Breakfast was not bad.

Miinukset: Room looks not like at the picture. Air condition was old. Windows face the street in the morning it was too noisy. There were no fridge and kettle in the room

Plussat: Nice hotel, close to Lake Maggiore. Room was clean, large bed was comfortable. Bathroom is small but very clean. Hotel bar downstair with cosy chairs, outside garden in old Cloister gives a specific atmosphere.

Plussat: Great personell, nice restaurant, great surroundings

Plussat: Lovely hotel, the old part which you see in the pictures is to the side and isn't really used, but we discovered it by needing to use the wheelchair access for our strollers. So once you find it is beautiful and you can enjoy drinks or coffee under the old monastery's porch. Very clean, breakfast nice and stuff friendly and helpful. Nice spacious bedroom.

Plussat: Staff very helpful, friendly, professional and obliging. Beautiful building. Reasonable bar prices. Enjoyable but simple breakfast. Felt very comfortable and relaxed as a result. Good value for money.

Miinukset: The bathroom was very small in my single room and the shower cubicle and shower itself were very poor and need upgrading.

Plussat: Breakfast, location, comfort

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Lovely balcony from which to take in the amazing view. Lovely restaurant round the corner and good atmosphere overall.

Plussat: The location of this hotel is excellent. In front of the lake and close to many restaurants and bars. The hotel is located in the old town which is lovely to walk around. The room is basic but clean with AC. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Car parking is about 5 min from the hotel.

Miinukset: Breakfast could improve, it is very basic.

Plussat: stayed two nights very good location easy to find with parking

Plussat: Free parking, hotel with restaurant inside (in case outside it's cold/raining or you don't wanna get out for dinner), amazing position in front of the lake, silence in the room, clean rooms and full of unexpected services for a 3 stars hotel (such as fridge in the room or hair dryer).

Plussat: The young woman at reception was super kind and helpful as we arrived. We had a room with a view to lake and with terrasse, highly recommend. Private parking very good!

Miinukset: Room could be renovated a little. Breakfast a little simple (no vegetables) and the personnel could smile a bit more ;)

Plussat: Everything was neat and tidy! Staff was great and I enjoyed my staying. I've even had a problem where I could not arrive the day I reserved the place, but called other day in the morning, and the Hotel just slided my reservation for the next day with no extra charge! Tnx for that! 5☆

Plussat: Kindness of personal. View on the lake.

Miinukset: Shower in the bathroom.

Plussat: The view, the village, the lake, very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Coffee wasn't good at the breakfast.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nice pool, good breakfast

Plussat: The staff and the location!

Plussat: Breakfast was good, Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms well fitted out and extremely clean.

Miinukset: The pool and snack bar closed at 7pm which seemed an own goal for the hotel. Safe walk into town along quiet back road but at least a 20 minute walk, Lake view rooms very noisy from road directly outside. Drink driving laws stricter than uk so using taxis very, very expensive- fixed rates with all drivers. equivalent of £10 for 2 kilometres. Garden and pool area very pleasant. Hotel car park a real bonus. Although tea making facilities provided in room no coffee or milk- literally tea! Breakfast didn't start before 8am. 7.30 would have been ideal, but that is personal preference.

Plussat: Wonderful small pebbly beach for a dip in the lake. Really enjoyed hiring pedalo which had a little slide on it to add to the fun.

Miinukset: Room very small

Plussat: The location right on the lake, with a nice, clean swimming pool, playground, pingpong table, rentable boats, and snack bar was fabulous - in particular for families. We also greatly appreciated the apartment-style housing with a kitchen and essential cooking equipment. This made up for the fact, that no restaurants were within easy walking distance

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet was perhaps the only weak point. The overall quality of the food (bread, cheese, vegetables) and beverages (coffee, juice) was rather low.

Plussat: Great facilities, great value for money.

Miinukset: Rooms were very warm due to the very hot weather. No air con or fans made it difficult to sleep in the heat.

Plussat: Beautiful location with everything thing you need right there - pool, lake, food, paddle board rental, etc. So quiet & peaceful.

Miinukset: Loved everything - walk to restaurants is about 20 mins which some may not like but we loved the spot & enjoyed the walk in the evening. And a lovely breakfast is provided the food at the pool bar is good so we didn’t even need to venture out until evening.

Plussat: Good location,great pool,safe area with walktunnel under the road from rooms to pool. We have a 5 year old who digged the pool and beach. Close to Verbania,some good restaurants there. Can recommend La Tentazione for seafood.

Miinukset: Close to mainroad,lot of traffic. No proper AC,so we had around 25 degrees in the room every night. Paid extra for lakewiew,stared into the bushes.No Italian soul here,more 90’s German style. So some good and some bad.

Plussat: Very clean rooms very spacious pool by the lake with great views

Miinukset: No where to have a drink in the evening only had a pool side bar which closed at 7.00 and no where to eat after that time

Plussat: SUPERBE RESIDENCE HOTEL - PERSONNEL FORT SYMPATIQUE

Plussat: Kiva allasalue, siistit huoneet, ilmastointi

Miinukset: Sijainti hieman syrjässä oalveluista

Plussat: Rooms large,clean. Good location for the lake and he town.

Miinukset: Watch out for the Friday market. If you do park near the hotel you must move by 6 am on Friday or they take your car away.

Plussat: We had a room with lake view and balcony with many colourful flowers … it gave an extra added value for enjoying our stay. Hotel is very nice with feeling of Italian style, holidays, summer lake breeze and great location nearby lake promenade and boat station which allows to access beautiful islands of Lago Maggiore.

Plussat: Great location, quiet and comfort bedroom for 5

Plussat: The location The cute little town

Miinukset: The family room had no view

Plussat: wonderful location fronting the lake. very evry well organized, friendly and cozy. recommended.

Plussat: Good and beautiful location - the ferry to islands right in front of the hotel, beautiful promenade, local council events, many late-night restaurants

Miinukset: Parking uncomfortable at all - very far away and usually full at night

Plussat: Location Architecture of the building

Miinukset: Room without view to lake it seems dark

Plussat: Ideal location, excellent friendly staff, beautiful views, large room with balcony.

Miinukset: We could hear the conversations of the people in the room next door; breakfast could be more varied

Plussat: The location is very good, right on the waterfront, as whilst not in the centre of Verbania, there are many good restaurants in the neighbourhood. A good choice for an overnight stay if you're heading South as it was easy to reach the motorway in the morning and to avoid the traffic in the town centre

Miinukset: The beds might be a bit hard for some and this was the only real complaint one could make. We only arrived around 8.30pm and didn't eat at the hotel, so not really possible to pass comment on much apart from the location and breakfast and quality of sleep.

Plussat: Ihana sijainti vesillä liikkumisen kannalta

Plussat: good

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The location is great, just by stresa, the design is beautiful and special, breakfast was reach and tasty and basically that's is good for the low price.

Miinukset: The elevator was broken so we had to take the stairs with heavy bags. The shower had no door or anythig so it made a flood. The staff did not know English at all! It was very hard to communicate with them. No places to charge in the room.

Plussat: "In the middle of nowhere", near a roundabout, not so attractive on the outside you'll find very nice accommodation. We were in Elizabeth Taylor room which was spacious with excellent king-size bed, and a small living room with sofa and mirror. Very nice.

Miinukset: average breakfast

Plussat: Super cute theme. Very friendly staff, and easily accessible. Breakfast is in the bar downstairs, and they bring you plenty of food (orange juice, coffee/cappuccino, bread and jam, croissant, yogurt, and water. The room was comfortable, well decorated to the theme, very clean, and especially for the price, you simply can't beat this place.

Plussat: Large flat with lot of space, stylish, accessible for disabled people.

Miinukset: Breakfast is too based on sugar in every food. Hard to recognize the location (no marking).

Plussat: The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. The room themes were unusual and very clean, though the shower cubicle was small.

Miinukset: It was impossible to turn left out of the car park due to the very busy road outside.

Plussat: Room was clean and breakfast is great

Miinukset: Directly in front of the road

Plussat: Interesting concept ! Good position for visiting the north face of Lake Majore . Very good coffee !

Miinukset: Air condition without remote and poor . You have to start it manually ! Very high noise during the night , hard to rest because of that . Very sweet breakfast ! Not every people can eat such a sweet breakfast . Some people are diabetic !

Plussat: location would be good with a car - but noisy, mostly clean

Miinukset: reception in a bar/gelatteria and with its staff was not comfortable, noisy due to traffic right next to the building, very limited breakfast, room is more basic than expected through pictures

Plussat: Staff were great and very helpful.

Miinukset: AC would be switched off at 7am making the room extremely hot, if the AC was on during the morning it would be great

Miinukset: This time, the receptionist in check out was irriteted and rude

Plussat: wonderful room - great view - good service & breakfast.

Plussat: The location was perfect right on the lake sorounded by resteraunts. The breakfast was very good. The rooms where very big and we had a balcony with lake view. 5 min walk from ferry station to visit the Bormeo islands (dont need a car for the day)

Miinukset: On sunday music from street till midnight. Parking on the street is free but sometimes all the parking is full. Toilet room a bit outdated decor.

Plussat: The bedroom was enormous, the bed very comfortable. The view of the lake from the window was amazing. Breakfast choice was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is well situated for parking, restaurants and ferry.

Miinukset: We have stayed before but was disappointed with the bathroom in this room this time. The shower was over the bath, placed halfway along the side. There was no shower curtain which meant that the water went all over the bathroom floor. There was no rubber bath mat and it was very slippery. It was also very slippery on the bathroom floor. It was quite dangerous. Decor was a bit tired, could do with a bit of a makeover.

Plussat: Calm and comfortable rooms, very clean, super nice view on the lake and perfect position in Pallanza. Staff is super helpful and welcoming

Miinukset: Rooms slightly vintage

Plussat: Absolut empfehlenswert

Miinukset: Nothing to complain may just the Pigeons on the-balcony

Plussat: Perfect location

Miinukset: Old but very spacious

Miinukset: Very cold and the staff refused to turn the heating on

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, siistit huoneet, hyvät ja suuret sängyt, hinta-laatusuhde ok.

Plussat: kind staff and good location

Miinukset: he would need a general refresh

Plussat: Friendly staff, quiet territory, breakfast, good view to lake.

Plussat: The hostel was easy to find, and it is such good value for money. The breakfast is amazing! The view from the room was beautiful, you can see the lake and the Borromean islands as well. Verbania is a quiet little town with good ferry service to other towns and villages along the lake.

Miinukset: Getting to Verbania (and the hostel) by public transport was more difficult than I expected. Staff were not very warm, but they were available and helpful when needed.

Plussat: Good communication from the hostel before I arrived. The hostel was nice and the breakfast was good and plentiful. Great location.

Miinukset: There was a large organised group of children staying all week for a kids club which was very noisy and pretty much took over the hostel and made the stay much less enjoyable than it could have been.

Plussat: Very good placement, close to the town center and to the lake. The place for the car inside the big yard. Possibility to enter the building even if arriving after the reception is closed. Welcoming and kind staff. Tasty breakfast.

Miinukset: It was a little cold inside even in April, two blankets were not enough at night, nice building but not so cosy.

Plussat: The only thing lacking in this hostel was the fact that Internet was only available in the lobby. The only fault.

Plussat: Only the price and my roommates

Miinukset: Very rude, aggressive and unhelpful receptionist! I left one day earlier because of her unacceptable behaviour. It is far away from the city center and the boat station. It is hard and tiring to arrive at the hostel because of the uphill location. Hard and long time access from train station. There are many children parties in the garden and they woke me up. There is no wifi available in the rooms, it is available only at the waiting room. Very incense heat in the dorms during the summer (definitely they must buy air conditions). Definitely this hostel must not be visited. I don't recommend it.

Plussat: Superb check-in. Super friendly woman

Miinukset: wifi is only available in the coomon area not inside the room. Beyound that everything was good.

Plussat: The view from the hostel was amazing, and the breakfast was very nice!

Miinukset: The hostel is a bit tricky to get to with public transport, as I couldn’t find the bus timetable online. Also there’s currently a kid’s holiday program on during the day until 5pm ish, which is fine, but just know that music is definitely loud during those times. Otherwise I loved my stay!

Plussat: It was very nice of the property to accommodate us much earlier official check-in hours. Communication was easy and pleasant, check-in too. Room had beautiful lake view, high sealing and you don`t need much more, to say fairly. Overall, good business with pragmatic style which I personally like.

Miinukset: For my opinion I didn`t appreciate shared bathroom here as in fact it`s unisex (which is ok) but there `s nothing inside the shower cabins to hang your clothes on as well as any shelves to put shampoo, gel etc; bathroom isn`t comfortable as it should be, but no complain. The real thing which annoyed was incredible amount of youngsters with their modern loud totally uncontrolled behavior. Don`t know if the hostel has some relations with schools or so on but such a large group occupied all common zones so no wifi use was possible at the lobby. I`d prefer to pay for wifi in the room if it was.

Plussat: All excellent : Staff, wifi, apartment, view ,parking, cleaning. We will come back!!

Miinukset: nothing

Miinukset: Vilkasliikenteinen tie parvekkeen ällä häiritsi yötä päivää. Huone oli liian kuuma.

Plussat: Fantastic location and very friendly and helpful staff.
