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 Out of date products at breakfast on display.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.

No air conditioning but the staff was able to get us a fan which helped a lot. It’s an older building but fits the general vibe of the town. Overall, was fine for our stay in Orta.

Le seul soucis de cet hotel c'est que sur la place, un bar est ouvert jusqu'à 2h du matin. Et ce bar recevait un mariage le premier soir, alors que j'essayais de dormir aj 1er étage!!!!
La nuit a été un enfer
Mais l'hôtel n'est pas responsable de son voisinage. C'est à la Mairie de faire le nécessaire pour assurer la tranquillité de tous

Dette bør ikke kalles et hotell, det er i beste fall et motell. Fin beliggenhet, men alt annet var dårlig og spesielt til den høye prisen! Anbefales ikke!

Adresse à conseiller
Grande chambre située sur la place principale, beaucoup de style, bien décorée, frigo rempli à disposition. Très bon buffet de petit-déjeuner, seul le café n'est pas une réussite.
Personnel compétent mais très discret... On a eu régulièrement du mal à obtenir un bonjour... Dommage !
Attention : le check-in s'effectue dans un autre hôtel à 20 minutes à pied du centre-ville. Un peu contraignant quand on est à pieds...

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.

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.

fine settimana al lago
Buona location proprio vicinissimo al lago ed all'imbarcadero dell'isola di San Giulio. Chek in da fare in un ufficietto un pò staccato dall'albergo (non indicato molto bene). Buona colazione con ottimi prodotti soprattutto le marmellate.

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!
