The location is nice, but we were disappointed.
Contrary to what we expected and what was mentioned, there was no free wifi (there was no wifi at all!), the parking was 1.3 km away and this was not a hotel but a series of appartements. The one we got was not the one we rented!
And at the end, it was extremely overpriced for what we got. To be avoided!

Good Value for your money.
Posted 14 Jun 2020 on HotelsBed was great. Very quiet in the late evening. Overall clean but miss the details. Bathroom needs a little work with wall rot where the shower leaks out onto the bathroom floor. Overall good value for the money. Free parking .8 miles away do to pedestrian only town.

not a hotel
Posted 5 Aug 2016
Pros: central location
Cons: this was a room, one of many owned by a family or company in the town, so shouldn't really be called a hotel.
Location: central location, about 100 metres from main piazza. ferries to san guilio island and round lake ferries from main piazza. lots of restaurants.
this was a room 2 floors up steep stone steps, above a shop.

Basic but great stay in a beautiful location.
Posted 24 Jun 2016 on HotelsMake sure you check how to find the parking before arriving as our sat nav took us down cobbled hills that only the locals use! Found the office for the various rooms used by Hotel Piccolo Olina and then went back to main paid car park which was closer than the free hotel one at top of hill. Shown to our room by very helpful young Italian and despite the downpour of rain enjoyed every minute of our stay! Room was rather basic with somewhat safari feel but real bonus was window with view of the lake, do ask for this on booking. Breakfast and wifi was in a restaurant round the corner but it was the best breakfast we had on our trip across Italy with fresh slices of pineapple and melon making it extra special. Lake Orta will not disappoint and it is a truly beautiful location. Wish we had had longer to explore.

Bad sofa bed...great breakfast.
Posted 9 Aug 2015 on HotelsThe sofa bed was horrible...the bed frame was so bad we slept with the mattress on the floor...the mattress was flimsy. There is no A/C or fans so beware in the summer that the room does not cool off until after midnight. Also, there are mosquitoes if you leave the windows open. The best part was a great breakfast with a hardworking staff.

good basic accommodation
Posted 22 Jul 2015 on Hotelsi chose this hotel due to its location and price. I was staying for one night and needed something quick and simple. The hotel was hard to find - I was driving, not being familiar with the area it would have been useful to know it was a pedestrianised area. The office is in a separate building to the rooms. The rooms are apartments in an apartment building. Rooms basic but clean. No AC just a fan. Breakfast is in a different hotel but was basic. This was good value for money but below the standard I'm used to.

Amazing room with a view
Posted 16 Sep 2014 on HotelsI understand there are several rooms in various locations under this hotel and we were part of a wedding party with several staying at this hotel. I understand some rooms were not great but ours was fabulous. We had a very large room overlooking the main piazza and the lake. It was stunning.
Breakfast in a nearby restaurant in the same square was fantastic too. We had a wonderful stay.

Good not great
Posted 9 Jul 2014 on HotelsGood for the price.But be careful, as well as the main building - which looks nice- there are further rooms in an annexe which are a bit hit and miss.And you don't check in at the hotel but an office next to their restaurant 100 yds away - confusing if you arrive late! Initially put in an anexe room - dark and pokey, small bathroom, not very nice. Complained and staff very very helpful, moved to a nice tidy bright room. Breakfast taken at a cafe in the square - lovley in the summer and staff very nice.

Careful lots of misrepresentation
Posted 2 Jun 2014
Pros: Breakfast was good.
Cons: They could be honest about the rooms and impossible parking.
Location: Nice lake, cute tourist town and beautiful monastery at the top of a mountain, a very arduous climb.
"Free" parking is totally unusable at top of a mountain a mile away and no parking anywhere near hotel so forget about getting luggage to the rooms. They tried to put us in an awful dark, damp room and we had to argue to get a decent room with a window. This hotel was grossly misrepresented on Expedia and very overpriced, although town is cute, lake is nice and breakfast (in another hotel) was good. Be careful with this place. Expedia customers are low priority for this hotel. We needed to park (10 Euros/day) at a private garage and drag our bages 500 meters down steep cobblestone paths or steps, then up rwo flights of stairs.
