Spacious, clean, had what I needed for my short stay.
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

Good place to stay
Nice hotel and we stopped off for a day on the way to Malpensa airport. Very helpful receptionist who gave us lots of advice on where to go and what to see and some suggestions for restaurants which we took up and ut was a lovely meal.

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!!

Great Hotel with character
Lovely old fashioned unique hotel. Different to the chain hotels that all look the same. Large comfortable room, enormous bathroom. Friendly Staff. Good breakfasts with plenty of choice. Small problems when we first arrived, but they quickly sorted for us. Only negative thing I can say is that the shower wasn't very powerful, and the tiled floor in the shower was very slippery when wet. Needs a rubber mat

Very quiet hotel, old fashioned but quite quaint. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Menu didn't suit me personally but staff provided an alternative.
