Hotel Belvedere San Gottardo

The location was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and help. I would definitely stay there again!!

The Grand Hotel Majestic has an absolutely stunning location on Lake Maggiore. It was a perfect for a family wedding. I stayed in a lake facing room with a king sized bed that was comfortable and clean. Breakfast consisted of fruit, cereals, scrambled eggs, Bacon and what tasted like freshly made baked goods. Omelettes and fresh juice are an extra charge. Service is only indoors so if you wish to enjoy the morning temps outside, you need to order coffee inside and take it outside with your food and cutlery. There are a few things to know as a traveler. None were problematic just worth a mention so you can plan ahead. First, there's no iron in the room nor are there any available upon request. Rather, there is a chargeable pressing service, with a with a surcharge for express service - which was super fast. I believe dresses are about 12 euro with shirts about 7. Second, there is no coffee maker in the room. The coffee at the bar and at breakfast is amazing but if you would like a cup before facing the world, this needs to be ordered. You will need to pack conditioner as shampoo, body wash, and lotion are available in the room but conditioner is not. The products provided were great but I walked to the pharmacy for conditioner - about 5 mins away. Finally, room temps are centrally controlled so if you find your room is on the warm side, you need to request a lower temperature from the reception. All in all a lovely place and would love to visit again.

Set on the waterfront of gorgeous Lago Maggiore, the Hotel San Gottardo has beautiful vistas and large rooms. Of course, being cheap, I got a side facing room with the opportunity to gaze at a nearby wall, rather than the autumnal mist floating gently over the placid lake. It didn't matter as I was away all day on a trail race (the excellent UTLM which flags off in Verbania). The promenade outside is picturesque, the ferries across the lake are close at hand, and the Friday market is a stone's throw away. The wifi worked, the the lift worked, the staff were friendly, breakfast was just as I expected, and the hotel parking was nearby and secure. Public parking in Verbania is a nightmare - white spaces are free and very rare, blue ones are paid short stay only, and the yellow ones are residents only and threaten 24 hour tow away for violations. So, the hotel's rustic carpark is free and is a God send. The set menu in the hotel restaurant is delicious and good value for dinner, FYI. The waiter was professional and helpful, the roast beef carpaccio starter was delizioso and a carafe of the local wine eased by trail-worn joints.

Pictures do not match the current state of the rooms available. Many rave reviews here - that seem greatly exaggerated as we did not have a great experience. It was 95 degrees outside, our air conditioning was between 75-78 at all times, even though we had it set to 64 it was never below 75. Price/quality not a match - overpriced for the state of the hotel rooms and what is available. The beach is 850 meters away - takes maybe 20 minutes in the summer as it's hot. Our special request written in the notes regarding accessibility was ignored and front desk staff said it was not received. If you have a special request, call them directly.

we visited this hotel for a wedding. The rooms are reasonably priced but relatively old inside, with a sea view. The breakfast is poorly organised and not very rich, but you can park your car for free 10 minutes away.

Very pleasant old-world hotel in a central location by the lake. Excellent price-quality ratio. Great staff with great service.

The Pallanza part of Verbania had a distinct early summer flair when we visited at the end of May. Fortunately the Giro d'Italia had left town earlier in the day and clean-up operations on the roads were almost terminated 3h later. We had a large comfortable room on the 4th floor with a splendid view over the Lago Maggiore. Breakfast was very nice but my recommendation to the cuisine ends there. I had rarely been served with a less appetizing dried out barely warm fish dish than at the evening menu of the Hotel. When covid restrictions will allow indoor restaurants to be open HEAD OUT.

Nice clean hotel about 10 minutes walk to lake beach

Good location
