This hotel is very handy to the train station for travellers arriving by train, although we had to walk along a narrow, winding and fairly busy road to reach the hotel. Reception staff were very friendly, welcoming and good with suggestions for activities. The hotel is some distance from the town but it is a pleasant walk for anyone who... More

Nice clean hotel, fantastic breakfast, bit of a walk into town but that wasn't a problem. This was our second trip to Orta and stayed at the hotel Santa Catarina both times, and will probably do so next time.

The hotel is probably best described as different, quirky with unusual arty touches. The hotel it is modern and not so ornately decorated as some. The rooms are small in size but adequate, as is the ensuite. There is parking under the building for additional charge on first come basis. There is free parking nearby. The breakfast was outstanding and... More

Stayed here on the 29th of September 2012 - room literally had lights only connected to the walls by cables, peeling paint on the ceiling and generally dirty.There was a flat screen TV in the room - never really seen one as small before. Location is pretty bad. Its a reasonably long walk into Orta and as it was often... More

We booked here after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. No complaints at all. Nice big room, air conditioning on for 24 hours if you wanted it. Excellent breakfast - so much choice!! Good service, English speaking staff and relatively secure parking. It was about 15 minutes down into the town but a lovely walk along the side of the... More

We stayed here last year and posted a review. We returned to this beautiful location and of course Santa Caterina. Comfortable hotel, fantastic breakfasts and a free snack bar after 3 pm. Nice pleasant and well kept gardens where you can catch the sun for most of the day. Car park costing 8 euros per day in basement but free... More

Arriving by car, we were relieved that the hotel is well signposted and easy to find. You cannot park directly outside – the road is narrow and quite busy. The options are to pay €8 a night to use Santa Caterina’s underground parking, or one of their spaces in a small field 300m away (free). Alternatively, we found space in... More

Pretty nice hotel, with friendly, English-speaking staff and outstanding breakfast buffet; and apparently the best deal in a fairly expensive resort town. The 10% discount you get when dining in the fine Ristorante Orlina (apparently under the same management) was also most welcome. But there are also some negatives: location is right on a fairly busy road, without even a... More

I can't see how anyone could give this hotel a much better rating than average. In my opinion, THAT is being generous. My main complaint is the :15 - 20 minute walk from town. There is very little in the immediate area, and I must assume everyone who is comtemplating staying here came to see the town of Orta, and... More
