The hotel offers a stunning location with lovely views, but lacks some essential amenities like air conditioning. The service is top-notch, especially from the friendly and helpful 'Salvatore'. The dining experience was subpar, with packaged Italian options and limited fresh dishes.

The hotel may have an outdated look with tired furniture and curtains, but the rooms are clean and simple, featuring a nice-sized balcony. Although the room was spacious, it lacked a personal touch. The service was exceptional, with truly friendly and helpful staff who catered to extra requests effortlessly. The location seems remote, needing maintenance in areas like the 'kids park. ' The dining experience was disappointing compared to similar hotels, offering a limited buffet and subpar quality. However, the hotel boasts a convenient location close to Brusino Arsizio and the 'funivía' up to Serpiano, with potential for improvement in the outdoor spaces.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, although smaller than the superior ones, were simple and okay. However, the corner lake view from the balcony made sleeping challenging in the summer months. The service was mostly friendly, but there was a hiccup during dinner service. The location, while beautiful with easy access to the cable car, felt a bit remote from the city center. The dining experience was subpar with limited fresh offerings, except for the strong coffee. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though spacious and offering a beautiful view of the mountains and lake, had outdated furniture and tired amenities. The location, set in a serene spot with great wellness facilities but in need of maintenance, was a bit of a double-edged sword. Dining options were lacking, not meeting my expectations for a location like this.

The hotel offers a nice-sized balcony with an unbelievable view, but the lack of air conditioning in a modern hotel at this price point is a downside. The rooms, though smaller than superior ones, are reasonably sized, with a view available only from the corner of the balcony and not straight through the window.
