It was raining all the two nights I stayed there, but could see a slice of Lago Maggiore from my balcony. This is a classy place, all furnishings are quite new or in good condition. And there is lots and lots of friendly staff. Saunas and pools are at your service for a small fee. Wifi is expensive! Baveno is... More

I read excellent reviews about this hotel, before staying there for a week last year. The reviews did not disappoint. It is a beautifully decorated hotel, with lovely furnishings, an excellent restaurant, and superb staff. I was half board, and require a gluten free diet, but only advised them of this on arrival - they couldnt do enough for me... More

I stayed at The Hotel Simplon in July for a week with my parents. I had a single room - which must have been a double and my parents had a twin. We all paid a supplememt for the lake view which is very worthwhile and had half- board. The staff are exceptionally helpful and the rooms clean and comfortable.... More

We spent two nights here on Lake Maggiore while touring Lake Como and travelling north to Switzerland to see Lake Lugano. Our northern lakes stay was made wonderful by the gorgeous ammenities of this hotel. From our fabulous room with a lakeview and mountains in the distance to the superb banquet dinner for our touring group with Trafalgar to great... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. It was easy to find and we were greeted by friendly staff. Unfortunately due to our flight having been delayed the restaurant was closed. The staff offered to book a table across the road in a pizzeria which we accepted. The rooms at the hotel were spacious and well appointed. The... More

In spite of all the problems we had, like other people who booked with Holidaysbooked.com, we had a memorable 4-night break at this hotel. Every single member of staff was welcoming, cheerful and helpful! The opulence of the decor, furnishings, etc is quite extra-ordinary for a four star hotel. We were on a half board basis and the food was... More

This is a grand hotel - from the incredible stained glass ceilings of the lobby, to the well- appointed spacious rooms and the very friendly wait staff in both the bar and restaurant. We recently had a chance to stay for a couple of nights during our fast paced tour of Italy and were much impressed. Bar service for the... More

This is a very good hotel, no doubt about that, and the staff are excellent. That said there are a couple of things that don't quite 'chime'. Whilst the hotel is opulent and it's sister hotel ( conjoined by an extraordinary 'tunnel') even more so, Baveno it's self, we found, was no more than ordinary, so their location seemed difficult...
