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!

Decent hotel in a great location. Not renovated in quite a while, clean but somewhat dingy decor. Air conditioning did not cool room at all.

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.
