Verbania hotels

Pros: One of the beat hotels. It was a marathon weekend, and hotel was right next to finish line. And a view from a balcony... mmmm... super nice! To the lake and mountains. Very friendly staff and a croissant as a welcome was super nice. :) good breakfast.

Cons: The breakfast was ok scrambled eggs would have been a plus

Pros: Accommodation was suited for the Lago Maggiore Marathon 200m from start .

Cons: Public transport from Milan Malpensa airport to Verbania,start of winter and transport reduce

Pros: place, view from balcony!

Pros: The breakfast was excellent and the location was outstanding. A beautiful town with friendly people and an excellent staff in the hotel. Scenery is gorgeous and food delicious.

Cons: The air handling had been turned off due to the season but the weather was warm. We had to open windows to be cool enough but then the street sounds made it difficult to sleep until the early hours. All the positives far outweigh this inconvenience.

Pros: Very good location. Nice staff. A bit old, but good.

Pros: Everything. Perfect location, efficient and friendly staff and great rooms. The only prolem is that I couldn't stay longer

Pros: Everything was faultless - breakfast was delicious, staff very accommodating, rooms spotlessly clean. One of the best hotels that I have stayed in.

Pros: The welcoming letter of the Managing Director is very nice. All members of Staff are helpful. Most fantastic of all is the beautiful central location with unobstructed view to the Lago Maggiore. A nice small terrace before the hotel is very well cared of with professional friendly waiter. Parking places are always available nearby.The car is allowed before the hotel-entrance by arrival and departure. Amenities are not exceptional but ok.

Cons: Shower is basic but functioning is very good. Bed is quite hard. No pillow-menu. No feathers. Breakfast time is mentioned until 10.30am. About 10.15am choice is no longer completed.Although the ingredients are very good quality.The orangejuicemachine is noo longer connected. Streetnoice is disturbing nightsrest.

Pros: Excellent lakeside location with wonderful view (having ordered and paid for a lakeside room). Very nice breakfast and very smart and comfortable facilities all round.

Cons: Lift a bit small.

Pros: Great breakfast. Hot food and lovely fresh fruits and vegetables and a juicer available for a healthy drink. Great location for ferry, restaurants and shops. Staff friendly and helpful at all times. The beds are comfortable and the rooms spotlessly clean.

Cons: Hotel has no lounge except for a very small bar area that opens at 6.00pm. While there is a nice outside veranda for outdoor eating or just people watching it's noisy due to the busy road.

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

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The room with the balcony. Great location.

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

Pros: I like the kitchen and breakfast. Food quality is good.

Cons: Rooms can be more comfortable.

Pros: The only thing worth the rate is the location

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast was not great Fruit not fresh Usual ham eggs cheese affair Expected more

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: Very clean

Cons: The carpets are old and used

Pros: The Hotel is weil maintained , the breakfast was good.

Cons: The walls are quite thin so you could hear everything happening around your room.

Pros: the room was nice but bare.

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

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: Location and breakfast.

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: 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!!

Pros: 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!

Pros: Beautiful and stunning location. Very close to the center and restaurants. The swimming facilities were really enjoyable and well equipped. Free fresh pool towels and a stunning park like garden. The house itself is also as the name says: Majestic.

Pros: Location is beautiful.

Cons: Breakfast offering needs improvement

Cons: Staff’s attitude

Pros: 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.

Cons: -

Pros: Great location near the lake.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Everything was great and friendly.

Pros: Everything was clean and as expected.

Cons: WiFi was lagging a bit but ok

Pros: Check-in and Check-out process was very easy. The facility was very clean and at a great location. Our room was small but had everything we needed. We had a drink at the bar and it was very pleasant. The breakfast buffet was great. A lot to choose from and very fresh. The attendant was friendly and helpful. We definitely plan would choose this property again. Great value for price!

Cons: We did not enjoy dinner at the hotel. It was overcooked and had no flavor.

Pros: The garden is fantastic! So peacefull and beautifull; location was perfect.

Cons: I booked a single room, but felt the room quite small. Also if you travel alone, it would be nice to sit in a comfortabel chair, instead of laying on the bed.

Cons: Bedroom a little small

Pros: The Breakfast is excellent, fresh and plentiful, staff always on attendance

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Helpfulness of reception staff. Gave good advice

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great service. Nice surroundings. Food in restaurant was very tasty.

Cons: Aircondition did not work properly.

Pros: Cheery location with a lift to the apt in the block we were in.

Cons: A 20min walk to restaurants by the river if you do not drive.

Pros: Quiet, clean and very good value for money

Pros: Very knowledgeable and friendly host. Rooms are perfectly fresh and clean. The family room had a nice two level layout and the air conditioner was silent and strong. Plenty of parking. Could not be better! If you don't mind that the location is a few 100 metres away from the lago, this is the place to stay.

Pros: Big room for my family of 5 : duplex flat. Air conditioning whereas heavy hot weather. Small Free car park. quiet place. Very welcoming and kind staff , speaking french, English ...

Cons: Room had a kitchen (seen on photos) but not furnished anymore . So no lunch nor breakfast there.

Pros: The room was large and had a great view over the lake. The food was fresh and tasty. The staff were fantastic and we loved petting the baby goats!

Cons: Nothing it was amazing in every way! The drive up is slightly difficult especially with people coming the other way.

Pros: The quiet and relaxed setting, the views overlooking the lake and mountains, especially from the outdoor section of the restaurant.

Cons: It was difficult to have air circulation at night in the room as no insect prevention on door and no fan.

Pros: We loved our 3-storey room in a tower with a magnificent view on Lago Maggiore!

Cons: There were too much mosquitos. Bring your repellent if you want to have dinner outside!

Pros: Very Friendly Staff, Rich Breakfast Buffet and Good atmosphere.

Cons: The Road that leads to the Property from Verbania is very dangerous [Specially in Bad Weather] with no ''Road Signs'' at all.

Pros: The location, the view, the food and the hospitality.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing and the staff was really friendly

Cons: The bed felt (and sounded) like it was from the Stone Age. Don’t expect a comfortable sleep here. The room was cold, when we told the staff about the fact that the heating didn’t work, we got (only) an extra blanket. Trying to wash your hands after a “long” toilet visit is impossible since there is no soap in the room to be found at all. There is not water boiler to heat yourself up with a nice cup of tea. Only a gas stove which seemed like it could kill you at night in your sleep if you’d use that to boil some water.

Pros: Great facilities, great value for money.

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

Pros: 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

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Room very small

Pros: The staff and the location!

Pros: Friendly staff, nice pool, good breakfast

Pros: Lovely hotel with pool and lake access. Easy parking in the cool which was a real bonus. Big bedroom with small fridge and a kettle which was a real bonus, also good sized bathroom. The owner Massimo was very friendly and helpful, even phoned and ordered pizza for us when there was a bad storm and we couldn't get out. Make sure to visit Isola Bella, well worth a visit.

Pros: The apartment was spacious, but very basic, minimalistic furniture. It was clean. The pool is nice with children. The little beach is perfect for swimming in the lake. The location is good. The kitchen has decent amenities. The beds are good.

Cons: The price on booking is 42 euro a night higher than when you book directly with the hotel. According to the receptionist it was because you book for 4 adults, but we specified for 2 adults. The receptionist was not friendly when we confronted him with this.

Pros: Our reservation was only for accommodation, which was satisfactory. Nice view of the lake and the sound of running water from our balcony. The location was good (if you had a car). The staff (especially Stella) were extremely polite and helpful. Hotel had a nice pool by the lake. Check-in and check-out were simple and quick, and we were allowed a late check-out. Hotel has private (free) parking.

Cons: The price for breakfast was too high. Road a bit noisy; you couldn't relax on the balcony in the evenings (I guess it was a lot more for the appartments at the front). Hotel was a 20-25 minute walk from the city, on a very busy and dangerous road; we were advised to use another road (which we did), which at some parts was completely dark and "scary".... Check out time was too early (at 10:00). Once or twice we tried (unsuccessfully) using the bus.....(didn't run or was too late so we gave up).

Pros: Perfect location in the town next to the lake. Very good breakfast and friendly staff. The hotel has this specific Italian climate :) Efficient air condition quiet silent - we could sleep well.

Cons: The bathroom need some refreshment. It was clean, no issue on that but the interiors has some age and are not looking so nice.

Pros: Excellent staff, location, and accommodations. Parking is available but it is about a five-minute walk from the hotel but they do have the capability of parking right in front of the hotel offloading your baggage prior to moving your car

Pros: The staff in the breakfast room were very cheerful and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the location is really good .

Cons: Too much noise from other bathrooms. We also got a room (nr 109) in front of the breakfast room so we were woken up at 7:30 by a whole group. Not exactly the time we had in mind. Why didnt the hotel warn us before? The bathroom could do with some freshening up and the fan was incredibly loud. The safe could barely hold a wallet, leave alone a tablet and some other valuables. The mattresses were also pretty hard. Basically this hotel was probably once at the top but is no longer in line with current times.perhaps loved by others but not by us.

Pros: Very central location, clean rooms, good breakfast, helpful and accomodating staff!

Cons: Parking not direct at hotel, but close by.

Pros: Location was brilliant, reception staff very friendly. Beds comfy. Rooms clean.

Cons: Very boring breakfast, the same thing every day and not enough variation. Air conditioning kept going off in the middle of the night - not good in high temperatures. No secure luggage storage. No tea making facilities/kettle.

Pros: Breakfast was very good, staff throughout hotel excellent, location outstanding!

Cons: Bed was very uncomfortable.

Pros: Samll hotel in city centre of Intra. Restaurants, Bars, Shops nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff. Large variety of breakfast at buffet.

Cons: The hotel including its interior is getting older, however so far still clean.

Pros: Easy to find and very good location on waterfront. Good selection of restaurants nearby. Close to ferry, lake boat trips and motorway. Secure free parking 400 yds from hotel.Only a monor

Cons: only a minor point...could have had a few more toiletries (eg shower gel sachets) in the bathroom.

Pros: Comfortable room and very clean.

Cons: The room on 2nd floor, very challenging for senior citizen. Shower space too small, can hardly bend down.

Pros: Good breakfast in terrace with lake view. Very friendly and polite staff. Comfortable beds.

Cons: Hotel was near the street with pretty intense trafic, so a bit noisy in the evening.

Pros: The building was very nice - historical. The view from the restaurant was splended as well as from the room. Parking place included was very useful.

Cons: Bathroom was really small, it was not possible to fully open the door. The shower encloser was broken.

Pros: Lake right at the balcony

Cons: To set your expectations right, this is not a 5 star hotel. So do not expect any fancy gadgets in the room... Having said that, the close approximity to the lake, no noisy road between the hotel and lake, listening to the waves when waking up in the morning, here value for money is unbeatable in Verbania. Perfect place to relax at the balcony and lay down.. Bed and room facilities sufficient. True, bathroom small but I dont sleep in the bathroom.. Stayed here a few times before and looking forward to my next visit...

Pros: breakfast outstanding.Lovely fresh fruit salad and Staff who were so helpful.

Cons: Ask for a front room facing the lake and balcony.It was so hot and road noise was bad.

Pros: Very good location directly next to the lake

Cons: No watercooker+tee in the room. You have to buy this stuff at the bar downstairs. Small plates and cutlery would be nice

Pros: This was our fifth stay at the Belvedere. Entire staff is most welcoming, especially Signore Paolo, who couldnt possibly be more helpful and accommodating. We feel it is our home away from home! Excellent breakfast and a perfect location. We wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when visiting the Lago Maggiore.

Pros: The location of this traditional, Edwardian era hotel was excellent for catching the ferry around the islands. Our huge 4th floor room had a very high ceiling and dual aspect windows, meaning it was light and airy and offered fabulous views across the lake to Isola Madre and beyond to Stressa on the opposite shore. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also large with a walk in shower that could easily accommodate 2. The lift had been cleverly designed with to fit inside the original staircase, but had glass walls to maintain it's airy grandeur. Breakfast was generous and varied. with separate sweet and a savoury food stations. There were egg boiling points, ham cheese, rolls, cereals, muesli, yogurts, fresh fruit, cakes and croissants. Staff brought drinks to your table and were helpful and courteous. This is a more formal hotel, selected for its location and comfort as we were planning to celebrate our 36th Wedding anniversary on Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of strolls along the lake.

Cons: As mentioned, the location was great for ferry connections and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the boats on the lake. Unfortunately, directly outside was a childrens' playground and with warm evenings we had the windows open, so their piercing screams travelled up to our room each night until around 10pm. Parking - there are parking restrictions outside the hotel due to the market traffic. Secure parking is offered but it's expensive. However we found free parking down the road on day one and left the car there throughout our stay.

Pros: hotel is very close to ferry to approach all interesting places around. it's old fashion very classy but pretty renovated hotel with great and smiley stuff and terrific breakfast.

Cons: evenings were pretty cold but as in all Italian's hotels we stayed there wаs no heating available.

Pros: Lovely hotel situated on the lake front right near boat pick-up to go around lake. Lovely restaurant inside hotel. Lovely large rooms, very clean .

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: good

Cons: nothing

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. Location very good. Free parking was at some distance (as advertised) but an eight euro per day pass for just across the street in public parking was excellent. Restaurant next door was excellent. (Hotel did not serve evening meal) Front desk staff very helpful.

Cons: Room could have used a comfortable chair for reading. Bed lights too dim for reading in bed. Tile floor was cold. There was no heat or air conditioning, so window used for temperature regulation.

Pros: It was very clean, excellent location.

Cons: No facilities to make tea in room... Beds were not very comfortable...
