Arona at it's best for value and experience
Pros:

I left a review earlier this week but to confirm,
we stayed for 3 nights last week. The hotel is quite small but convenient for the Lago Maggiore and city centre shops and bars.
ALL the staff were friendly and very helpful at all times, the church bells next door didn't bother us as they were silent from 9 pm to 7 am, passing groups were, in the main respectful of making disturbances at night time. I've stayed at three other hotels in Arona over the years but Hotel Spagna was the outstanding one for value for money, great welcome and fantastic staff team especially Rafaela and his team. Yes it's In need of some well planned investment and yes it's a bit basic, we are very happy to recommend and return to the hotel when we return next time.

Cons:

It's rated two star and priced accordingly but in terms of location and great experience we can't fault this lovely hotel.

un tuffo nel passato
Pros:

struttura centralissima e pulita. Personale molto cordiale e caloroso, ottima colazione e ristorante (disponibile su richiesta a pranzo e cena) genuino come non ce ne sono più in giro.

Cons:

la struttura è originale e andrebbe rinnovata almeno nell'arredamento e nel confort delle stanze con oggetti più moderni.

Décevant, à éviter !
Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Tout est vieillot et à peine entretenu.
Le personnel fait peu d'effort pour parler, et aucun effort en anglais
Lit rustique.
Il faut démonter la chasse d'eau pour la faire marcher.
Le mobilier de la salle à manger est complètement éliminé.
On a l'impression que les exploitants terminent leur carrière et ne font aucun effort pour une éventuelle transmission.
Et le prix n'est pas particulièrement bon marché.

Ci torneremo!
Pros:

Proprietario e personale molto cordiale. Posizione ottima. Una buona colazione! Stanza da letto ampia. Cuscini e materassi comodi. Asciugamani di spugna morbidi. Sono stati disponibili a farci lasciare i bagagli anche durante il pomeriggio della partenza, ringraziamo ancora per la disponibilità. Non è un hotel lussuoso, ma a noi andava proprio bene così. Bagno piccolino ma c'è tutto l'indispensabile, anche il phon. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Cons:

Non c'è l'ascensore, per noi non è stato un problema ma per chi avesse difficoltà motorie è da tenere in considerazione.

Altro che da "svecchiare"
Pros:

Mobilio e bagno pulito, lenzuola apparentemente si

Cons:

Beh 2 stelle mi sembrano troppe per una camera con muffa pareti scristate finestre vetro singolo su strada che non si chiudono...la muffa è pericolosa...si strada se le finestre non chiudono come dormi? E porte delle camere così sottili che si sentiva tutto. Divieto di fumare dappertutto e in reception mi hanno accolto con sigaretta in bocca. Decisamente no.

Hotel semplice e senza pretese
Pros:

La posizione centrale e vicino a tutto, il costo per una notte

Cons:

Assenza di parcheggio, colazione semplice, schiamazzi di giovani ragazzi per gran parte della notte nella via sottostante

Pros:

I recently stayed at this hotel and truly appreciated the hospitality and kindness of the team. The staff was welcoming and attentive, which made my stay pleasant and comfortable.

One of the things I liked most is the historic character of the building. You can genuinely feel its charm and legacy, and that gives the property a unique personality that newer hotels simply do not have. It is a comfortable place to rest, and I appreciated the opportunity to experience a building with so much history.

Cons:

That said, I do believe the property would benefit from a little more care and attention to detail. Some areas could use touch-ups and maintenance to help the hotel truly shine and reflect the beauty of its historic character. With a bit more investment and “love,” this place has the potential to become something truly special while preserving its legacy for many years to come.

It would also be wonderful if the hotel offered a small restaurant or café on site. Having a convenient place for breakfast or a light meal. They do have one but is really light very light it would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.
