A lovely hotel near the station, lake-front and bars/restaurants. We only stayed for one night, but would have happily stayed longer. The staff were helpful, especially in storing our bags before giving us early access to our room. The bed was super-comfy and everything was clean.

The property is beside a beautiful lake! The waterfront view is excellent! Many restaurants and shops near by! Transportation is a bit challenging, you take a train then transfer to the metro so plan accordingly, once we figured out the system it was great!

Come and stay at beautiful Lake Maggiore

Hotel Giordino by Lake Maggiore at Arona was an ideal place from which to stroll by the lake, watch the changing hues and travel further on the lake such as to Isola Madre. The staff were most helpful and congenial, from check-in to our departure. Excellent breakfast.

This is an older hotel in an excellent location. We had paid extra for a "partial view" of Lago Maggiore, but we must have been upgraded since we had a lovely little balcony with a full view of the lake. We really appreciated this because it was kind of cold and windy (end of November) but we were still able to enjoy the view and the sunrise before leaving for the airport to fly home. The breakfast is very nice and we were able to find free parking in one of the large lots down past the railway station, about a 10 minute walk away. As a normal hotel, this property has a full reception, and the staff were helpful in printing our boarding passes and answering our questions. The owners of this hotel should consider replacing/upgrading the showers. We enjoyed walking along the lake front and having coffee at one of the places along there. For dinner, I recommend 900 Novocento Ristorante on Corso Liberazione 28. Their food is excellent, the staff nice, and their historic dining room has a cozy fire (in cooler seasons) in a big old stone fireplace. Highly recommended.
