What guests think

Hotel Simplon offers a classic, grand-hotel stay near Lake Maggiore, with beautiful gardens and pool areas, consistently friendly staff, and a convenient walkable location, though several guests flagged add-on charges for parking, gym access, and breakfast.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with lake views, and cleanliness earns frequent praise. Some feedback notes dated decor, occasional A/C or humidity problems, and a few room or restaurant value disappointments. Overall, expect an elegant, well-kept base with resort-style amenities and clear but sometimes costly extras.

Me and my wife had a fantastic stay at Hotel Simplon by Lago Maggiore. Very nice staff and manager at the desk; smiling and attentive. We got a great room with sea view. Impeccable cleaning! Clea pool, no hassle with getting a space. Very green and lush garden. Tranquility. Nice poolbar and serveral areas for sitting 7 reading / having a dring (upper terrace; lower teracce; pool bar area; garden etc). Fantastic hotel bar and bartender! Everything you need at breakfast. Just to know on beforehand: there is no direct lake contact from Hotel Simplon then you have to use the sister hotel Grand Hotel Dino (can be reached with the private 200 m underground tunnel between the hotels). Note that the Hotel gym is very big and well equipped but cost Euro 12 every time you visit (no problem if you know it for your travel budget). Parking was very convenient inside the hotel area but remember it will cost Euro 20 for every night you have it parked there. We loved our stay.

Luxurious property if you pay the price for a room with a view of the lake and pool. Sumptuous breakfast buffet. Beautiful pool with tunnel access to an indoor pool at a neighboring hotel. Bar a bit pricey. We had lunch once but better and less expensive food in town. Short walk to town. We enjoyed a few relaxing days after traveling for two months.

It’s a big old grand hotel which has been well maintained. It is huge and links up to the neighbouring Hotel Dino via a 400m underground walkway. This is where you need to go if you want to use the gym, which is also huge and very well equipped, probably the largest hotel gym I’ve seen. Unfortunately you need to pay €12 a day to access it which is annoying when it says the hotel has a gym. Also, as is sadly becoming more common, breakfast is extra at a pricey €25 pp. Also parking is extra at €20 per day! (It should state this on the property details page when booking) So when you book a night as a couple at €200 thinking it’s a good deal for hotel, parking and gym it is actually going to cost you €282. For that reason I wouldn’t stay again (we didn’t pay for breakfast and just got yoghurt form the supermarket opposite).

L'hotel si presenta molto bene con materassi validi e buona pulizia. Munito di piscina esterna con idromassaggio. Nel mio caso le critiche vanno al bagno con alcune posizionamenti infelici ( vaso wc posto tra il fianco della vasca e il muro con poco spazio a destra e sinistra, porta rotolo carta igienica di scorta su cui ci batteva la gamba destra e il porta spazzolino del wc in fondo alla vasca a circa 2 metri dal vaso. Non mi era mai capitato, nonostante la mia età non più giovanile e quindi di aver frequentato vari hotel, di vedermi presentare nel conto ( anche se facoltativa ) una percentuale e quindi una somma quale mancia per il personale di servizio. Con mia moglie non ce lo aspettavamo. Le mance, almeno secondo noi, devono essere spontanee del cliente e non richieste dal personale nero su bianco. Ci siamo rimasti molto male!!!

Normaal verblijven we in grand hotel dino maar deze keer wouden we simplon ook eens een kans geven. Personeel is heel vriendelijk! We hebben een duplex kamer gekregen maar deze stonk door de airco. Heel muf. De airco werkte ook niet zo goed. Gelukkig was het maar voor 2 nachten dus we hebben het zo gelaten. Het zwembad is ijskoud. We zijn elke dag naar het zwembad in grand hotel dino geweest. Daar was het warmer en als gast van simplon mag je ook de zwembaden van dino gebruiken. Het ontbijt was niet zo uitgebreid als in grand hotel dino maar wel dezelfde prijs. We hadden gevraagd of we daar mochten gaan ontbijten maar dit kon niet. Ik begrijp het prijsverschil tussen beide hotels.
