Extremely ridiculous check in process. Sent to 3 different properties to check in via someone on WhatsApp who randomly messaged me. Delayed check in process by 1.5 hours. Hotel is not a hotel its rooms above a cafe. Room was dirty upon arrival, fridge was repulsive with mouldy products inside and mould on tray as shown to cafe staff. They then removed the fridge tray for us. Out of date products at breakfast on display. Woman kindly let us have some breakfast after 10am (10.05am) as we hadn’t slept due to noise within building suggestive of a brothel next door. Would not recommend this place and was also massively overpriced €150 embarrassing really as everywhere else we stayed was run and managed so well.

Amazing location, amazing food.

Right in the centre of the Centro storico. In the central Piazza. Walk to the lake to take a swim in the morning. This hotel (and their restaurant Olina) do everything their own way. They are original, but everything they do works perfectly. Amazing breakfast on the Piazza. Please Don't dine anywhere else than Olina. (And try the Filete or the polpo grillata!!)

Orta - a little gen

Orta is a beautiful little town. Hotel was in the middle of the square perfect setting. Very quirky place. Cool but felt like they ran out of money when finishing refurbishment. Great breakfast.

Family Wedding in Orta

The hotel was very well situated, but the reception itself was not in the hotel. After arrival it took me a little bit of time and stress to find the reception, but the room was (almost) worth the money I paid. There is only a few things I would change about the room itself. With the minimal features I understand there being very low floor beds, but I can't reconcile the fact that there were no seats. Having a bad back I found this particularly troublesome, getting up and down off of the bed was hard .... as was attempting to fasten my footwear. Also, the showers (yes, plural, there are 2 side by side) are not entirely enclosed meaning that the floor surrounding the shower area was soaked and presented a danger. The hotel staff however were polite and friendly; the continental buffet was fresh and varied (cake and apple pie included); general cleanliness was good to excellent. I would recommend staying in the hotel if you have cause to be in Orta, San Giulio. Be aware though that there is a language barrier and most locals appreciate even an attempt at speaking Italian.

Center of town, but funky renovations in old bldg.

Staff pleasant and helpful, as they manage 3 properties. Don't rely on GPS as roads are very narrow and two way. Hotel situated on the central piazza, good for eating, shopping and access to ferry, but late eating crowds can make lots of noise if you plan to sleep early. Hotel very old and rooms renovated in modern design. Our bed was a king sized soft futon, which was not so comfortable. Our shower appeared to be added on, and was on one of the walls in the corner of the living room/bedroom. No closet, but a few shelves in the room for clothing. Breakfast was an unexpected feast! Cereals, meats, cheeses, quiches, hard boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, coffee, espresso machine, juices and a variety of coffee cakes. Here, the hotel was outstanding!

Great location, plan ahead if arriving by car.

Interesting and quirky room, lovely breakfast. Top floor room called 'a room of ones own' has a great view of Lake Orta and the stone roofs of the city. The shower is certainly one of the oddest I have come across, in a good way.

Right in the centre of things

You can't beat this hotel for location. It was right on the central square and a footstep away from everything you'd want to do in Orta. It was a little complicated checking in as you have to go to another office and although it says 'free parking' the car park is 1km up a hill, so we used the paying underground car park closer to the town instead. The room was clean, but for the price it wasn't quite up to the quality I'd expect. It had a nice balcony looking onto the square and they provided tea/coffee and juice, which we didn't get anywhere else. The sheets on the bed were a bit worn and the bed was a bit uncomfortable. Everything seemed to come from Ikea which surprised me! It seemed like they'd gone for style over substance - an open shower, for example, in the main room, but cheap linen! The breakfast is really good, lots of choice and really tasty.

Don't expect English standards

This hotel is in a great location right to the side of the main square albeit for this reason rather noisy at night. My room was run down and not to a great standard however it has air com which many in Orta don't! No onsite reception and help yourself breakfast. I wouldn't stay again when I return next year but perfect if you want a basic room with aircon (and are a heavy sleeper).

A room with a difference

We stayed here for a wedding in the town and we couldn't have been happier with our room. It was quirky, clean and had everything we could want. The view was spectacular! We had the room at the top and we had windows that opened fully to give full effect of the lake. Just beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!!

We did - after looking at the rooms and smelling it (whole hotel reeked of cleaning fluid), we forfeited our money and went to a wonderful hotel a few steps away (Leon D'Oro). We are seasoned travelers, equally at home in luxury hotels or camping, but....The first room smelled, had a bed that sunk to the floor and minimalist furnishings (safe to house a college fraternity!). They showed us a second room that had a futon bed (!) with dirty sheets and said it would be made up soon (this was at 6:30 pm). Orta is a wonderful town. If you go, don't ruin the experience. Even though this hotel is on the charming square, it is to be avoided. Go to the Leon D'Oro, instead, and get a room looking out at the lake and the square - you won't be sorry.

Einchecken war katastrophal

Schrecklicher Service beim Einchecken. Die Reception war wohl in einem anderen Hotel. Das Personal an der Bar konnte nichts machen. Sehr unprofessionell. Keine Informationen über den gratis Parkplatz, wo man parkieren kann. Mussten dann zusätzlich 20 Euro bezahlen.(öffentliches Parkhaus). Wir konnten zwar ins Zimmer, mussten dann eine Stunde und ein Viertel auf den Schlüssel warten. Nach 3-maliger Rücksprache via Whatspapp und 2-maliger Rücksprache an der Bar. Ein Sorry, das war alles. Wir konnten das weitere Programm nicht wie vorgestellt durchführen. Leider gab es auch keine Seesicht, wie im angepriesen. Ein sehr schönes Zimmer und sehr zentral gelegen. Schade, da fehlt einfach ein gutes Hotelmanagement. Alles angelernte Leute, die Betreuung benötigen. Sonst wäre es sicherlich toll gewesen.
