The staff did their best and were very sweet but the hotel was extremely uncomfortable. It is an ugly and cheaply built hotel in a beautiful position. We had a suite which was poky and uncomfortable, potentially dangerous and noisy too, the trains and the main road were pounding with traffic all night. The restaurant was obviously having an off...

Stayed in this hotel on a tour of the Lakes. This was our first hotel. Rooms slightly shabby, the bathroom had a badly broken toilet seat however, this was replaced in the 3rd day of our stay. Beds could have been better. The food was reasonable. I'm vegetarian and don't eat fish but they managed to produce something nice for... More

I had read bad reviews of this place so was pleasantly surprised. Good welcome at Reception and shown to my room .All rooms have balconies. Great location and the boat excursion to the Island stops right outside the hotel. Excellent restaurant though pricey. Good car parking. Certainly more than adequate for a few nights More

I booked this hotel for a weekend escape from the heat of Milan and it was lovely! Received a an excellent last minute rate, I did not have a Lake view but a lovely room with nice quiet balcony. The room was very clean and seemed to be newly decorated, the bed was comfortable and the wireless gratis. (much appreciated)... More

We had a lovely weekend at this hotel. We had a suite facing the lake and garden which was perfect: even with a balcony. The hotel is directly on the lake which is nice and peaceful, though as others have mentioned, there is a main road at the front of the hotel and I would not have liked to have... More

A great location, directly on lake orta. The staff is extremly friendly and helpfull. We felt very welcomed! Rooms newly renovated, but bathrooms old. Reception area and breakfast room a little bit poor. Very tasty food in hotel restaurant - amzing! Definitely a place where i would go back! More

Looking out from the wide picture window across Lake Orta, at sunrise or sunset, when the weather is bright or even somewhat dull, reminds you what you are paying for at the Hotel L’Approdo in Pettensaco. This can be a magically changing location and always idyllic. There is obviously some effective training scheme for members of staff who greet you... More

Hotel staff, with thee exception of one very welcoming nothing was too much trouble for them. Restaurant and bar staff very friendly, poor Alfredo took a lot of teasing from our party and took it all in good faith. Food was not exceptional, expected more from this 4 star hotel. A little bit grubby areas. Would I stay again yes,... More

The exterior of the outside looks a little - hostel like. The carpets and rooms are a bit dated looking but they have everything you need and are clean. However, the restaurant, bar and garden look newer and the food was lovely. The best thing about this hotel is the lakeside setting. You can sit in the nice terrace, overlooking... More
