Business in Novara

On business I need a nice room, good wi-fi, easy parking, breakfast and attentive staff. The Bussola provides all these. It's away from the centre of Novara, but for me that's not a drawback. There are restaurants within walking distance. Parking is close by in the street. Breakfast is as expected in Italy. There's no bar but beer and other drinks may be purchased from the reception. The reception staff are attentive and friendly. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Should you be interested in antiques, the Bussola is filled with objects and paintings from recent and not so recent history. For those of a 'certain age' the technology on display brings back memories. I like the Bussola, and have stayed numerous times.
