“WARNING... read this before choosing this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2009

It was my GPS' point of interest function that found this hotel when we needed to stop for the night on the way to Switzerland. we trusted the "four stars" sign, so we took two rooms at 89 Euros each. The room in itself has the comfort standard of a one-star-hotel: except the minibar was broken in both rooms. loose-screwed door knobs, no soundproofing whatsoever. We could even hear the neighbor farting in his room. One can park his/her car just by the room entrance, so it was REALLY noisy from all the cars passing only a few meters away from our bed. We happilly had earplugs, so we managed to sleep a part of the night.
At 9 in the evening, we felt hungry, and as the hotel was in the middle of nowhere, I called the reception and asked at what time the restaurant stops serving, the receptionist said 22:00
When I got to the restaurant at 21:20, the waitress - who doesn't speak but italian - after a long discussion with her colleague, and after having both looked at their watches quite a few times, decided that they offer us only a choice of three cold starters... that she scribbled on a dirty piece of paper, no prices. I asked to see the menu anyway... another long discussion with her colleague, then finally she brought one to me, and pointed to the three (horrible) items we could choose from.
on the back, the menu indicated opening hour was till ten-thirty!
We had no choice, tired and hungry, we chose a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce to go (room service), simple, and easy to get right, we thought. Well, We were wrong... The spaghetti was way too undercooked (mind you, we know what Al Dente means, and we like it that way), the portions very small, and it simply had no taste at all. No pepper, no salt, no grated cheese, no spoon...
When in the morning i asked the name of the manager, the receptionist refused to give it to me saying that it was the manager's instructions! so, No way to complain... Luckily we have TRIPADVISOR!

Well people... you've been warned...

“Pineta is fairly average, more 3 than 4 star.”

Rooms were pretty good.

I didn't eat in the hotel other than the adequate buffet breakfast.

Reception is separate to the hotel.

Each room has its own parking space outside, making it more suitable to a traveller with a car, and its not very far from the motorway network.

Otherwise the location isn't great if you have no car, about 15 minutes from Malpensa by taxi, with nearer hotels to the airport. The railway station is a long walk, but a shorter taxi trip, it wasn't clear if there was a local bus service passing the hotel.

Getting into Milan without your own transport isn't easy. First getting a taxi isn't straightforward, as there only seems to be one in Busto Arsizio, so if he's busy there will be a wait. There are two train stations, I used the main one, trains take about 40 minutes and are cheap, and run about 1/2 hourly. They run to Porta Garibaldi station, just outside the main centre of Milan, so you need to add another 20 minutes or so for the Metro into the centre. Lake Maggiore is about 40 minutes by train in the other direction, worthwhile if you can, with plenty of stations along its side.

  • Liked — Quiet area.
  • Disliked — Location, convenient for business I attended but little else.
