The breakfast display of nutritious foods was excellent. Love stay there again, and will recommend to friends and family.

Very friendly staff in a characterful hotel. Safe area with some good restaurants within walking distance. Supermarket handily placed around the corner. Decent continental breakfast (no hot food options whilst we were there). A little further from the centre of Novara but taxis available

The hotel room was nice and clean with all the facilities and the service is very nice. The hotel definitively could benefit from redecoration.

It was awful experience. I couldn't stay at hotel because I was in hospital.
Even though I informed them a week ago, they told me they can't cancel the reservation. I don't want to recommend this hotel to anyone!!
