Excellent location in warm September sun. Hotel well placed for exploring the lake and surrounding towns. Access to boats at Baveno only a short stroll from the hotel. Hotel room excellent with a superb lake view. Our total enjoyment was spolit by the occupant in the adjoing room (joined by a communicating door) who was up very early every morning.... more

Hotel just had a refurb. Looks fantastic and very lavish inside and out. Beautiful setting right on the lake! Bar could be better tended and front of house manager a bit stand offish. Still a great place, would stay again. New pool looked great too, pity we had torrential rain when there. Checkout the good looking pool boy ladies! Had... more

We stayed at the Hotel Splendid for a week-end break in July. The hotel is just on the shore of lake Maggiore, walking distance from the centre of Baveno. The hotel has been recently renovated and a half guestroom has a stunning lake view. Probably the only flaw is the internal decor, notably the main hall, since it reminds the... more

Disregard the reviews from previous years. Since its refurbishment this year the Hotel Splendid is splendid. Accommodation is excellent, as is the service. Everywhere is spotless - towels and bed linen changed daily. meals are very good, although food and drink is expensive (not helped by the current exchange rate.) We had a room with a lake view, for which... more

Very obvious that £5 million has been spent on the Splendid. Everything was very new & smart- fabulous rooms with spacious well equipped bathrooms, flat screen tvs and quiet effective air con. The terrace had large umbrellas & a selection of sofas as well as table & chairs- the pool terrace was smart with sunbeds & parasols and the pool... more

This was the first hotel we stayed in on our tour of the italian lakes and would definitely have been happy not to move again! It took us a while to find it but was more sat nav issues rather than difficulty finding it. We were greeted by a really helpful receptionist who showed us to our room and even... more

The journey from Malpensa airport was only an hour drive, most of which was accompanied by stunning views of the lake which was a nice preview to out holiday. On arrival at the hotel we were greated with a warm welcome and after checking in we were lead to our rooms by a friendly lady who told us a bit... more

Trapped in a decor time warp is the first impression. The lake-view room we had was of a good standard and well maintained by the staff. Dinner was an uncomfortable affair some evenings when sharing a table less than a metre square with another couple. Only a pre-designated number of tables was available to those in our group. It is... more

This hotel has to be one of the worst I have stayed in. The reception from two very unwelcoming staff was to say the least sour. The room was just awful, no double glazing so the noise of the lakeside road was deafing. We asked to change and was told it would be an extra 50 euros a day!!!!! The... more
