Hotel Simplon

Really friendly and welcoming reception staff who gave us a lovely start to our stay; we were also upgraded to a room with a large private terrace and a view over the lake which was great. The room was extremely comfortable and the public areas - especially the pool and area round the pool bar - were beautiful.

Really loved the size of the junior suite and the views. The front desk manager and her staff were so friendly, ready to answer any questions and assist in any way they could. Also the hotel manager was there to assist us with a twinkle in her eye. The hotel is in a good position and you can make your way to the lakeside via a tunnel to Grand Hotel Dino a sister hotel. Loved the experience at this hotel.

This is a beautiful hotel. The interior design looks like the early 1900s and this fits the hotel very well. Space is usually at premium around Lago Maggiore but this hotel has plenty of space everywhere: lobby, pool, restaurant, car park. The guests can use the facilities of nearby Hotel Dino which makes a total of three pools. Even the corridors linking the two hotels are very nice. The front desk staff are very friendly and I heard them speaking Italian, English, French and German fluently. The hotel is perfectly clean both in the rooms and the common areas. The rooms are large. The room is quite nice and is up to the standards of a four star hotel but with a few changes such as top quality mattress and sheets and also better quality shower gel and shampoo it could be a good five star hotel room.

Location, view and facilities are absolutely fantastic. Great welcome and they put effort in giving us two adjacent rooms (for a family of four). The pool is really nice, especially around 19:00 hrs when it’s very quiet.

We were surprised and delighted to find the hotel was fabulous. It was beautiful from the pool, to the garden furniture to the rooms. Everything was immaculate and the staff were lovely.
