(unfortunately) I spent only one night at the 'pallanza' and the experience was really pleasant. the hotel was refurbished in 2000 and the rooms are clean and neat. I asked lake view which was granted, and it was absolutely very nice to see the lake and the opposite shore from my bed! reception people kind, efficient and always smiling. breakfast... more

Our two night stay at the Hotel Pallanza for a short weekend get away was well worth it. The hotel is located right on the lake within 5 minutes of walking distance to the port (where you can take ferries to all of the other gorgeous sites in the area) and also to town and to the beach. The hotel... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel while I was in Italy on business. The rooms were older and not very updated, we had a nice view of Lake Maggiore from our room however the hotel was very noisy, you could hear everything the people in the next room were doing and also the street noise was terrible until... more

The Hotel Pallanza is a lovely friendly hotel right on Lago Maggiore. Our room was very large (1 double bed, 1 single and a sofa and plenty of space around it all) and had two lovely but small balconies overlooking the lake. The town itself is interesting and has a good selection of bars and restaurants (and this was out... more

We loved our two day stay at the Pallanza Hotel. The staff was very helpfull and willing to get us anything we needed. The view of Lake Maggiore was beautiful from our balcony. If you are looking for good restaurant's, try Little Italy for great Italian food and Artis for great pizza. We will stay here again. more

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend in August completely unplanned. August is peak season in Italy and they had a couple of rooms available at a great price for this time of year. Rooms are clean and simple, staff is friendly, location is perfect (20 meters from the ferry), airconditioned and quiet. We travelled with a 12 month... more

We have just returned from a one week stay at the Hotel Pallanza and it was a most enjoyable experience. We had a lake view room on the second floor which was spacious and had a balcony with an uninterupted view of Lake Maggiore and Isola Madre. The view alone was worth the Euro 160 per night! The staff were... more

Stayed here for one night in June 2007, before transferring to the ostensibly grander Grand Hotel Majestic (once someone else was paying). The reception staff were particularly friendly and helpful, which was very welcome after a stressful taxi ride from Malpensa with a driver who had no clue where it was - if you're coming this way, bring your own... more

A perfectly nice hotel in a great spot by the Lake but certainly not a 4 Star so don't expect more than basics. The rooms are small but clean with great views. The breakfast is minimalistic to say the least. The staff are certainly helpful and pleasant and had no problems changing our twin room to a double - although... more
