The hotel was in a good location only a short walk from the lake our room was clean and yes u can hear the trains but they do not run all night and it is not that bad... the breakfast wasn't amazing but was acceptable and again the staff were mostly friendly would we stay here again yes it's good value for money and a comfortable hotel to use as a base for the lake

Staying here was unexpected as there was mix up with our original booking at another hotel and they were not able to accommodate us. They found a booking for us at the Azalea as we needed somewhere that would be convenient with a car and Azalea certainly fitted the bill and was right in the centre of town. Was easy to find with good directions
Lovely updated rooms, fantastic bathroom flatscreen tv with a choice of English channels. Great bed, and free wifi and a nice breakfast. Balcony and lakeview was a great spot to sip our wine and watch the sun go down.Owner was very nice and helpful to us.
Our original hotel was not in a town but this really suited us better. We found Baveno a lovely peaceful little town with plenty of choice in restaurants,and with the boat dock a few minutes away, was perfect. There was even a laundromat on the seafront.
The hotel was just down the road from the train station so staying here without a car would not be a problem.

This hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of the old town. The lakefront, a selection of restaurants and the boats to the islands are less than a five minute walk away. Our room was spotlessly clean and equipped with a state-of-the-art shower, hair dryer, air conditioning and flat screen TV. Wi-Fi and parking were available at no extra cost. We had a very nice little balcony with a lake view which we enjoyed in the evening. Although we paid a few Euros extra for one of the "superior" rooms, we still felt the place was a bargain, especially since a nice breakfast was included.

This is a simple but comfortable hotel. It serves a basic breakfast, has a small pool area and a small bar as well as quite comfortable rooms. Do not choose this hotel if you are staying for more than a couple of nights. It is better suited for a short stay (as is Baveno itself in my opinion...). The location between train station and the lake is very good. Although our room faced the rail road, we were never disturbed by the trains. Even the air-condition was quiet enough to let us sleep, which is quite unusual in hotels like this.
