    The Very Aptly Named Hotel Splendid

    Absolutely nothing

    Hotel Splendid is aptly named. A hotel full of old world charm and attentive staff that will ensure you have a pleasant stay. I was on a road trip travelling with friends and its location, reputation and the fact that it has secure underground car parking available was a deciding factor in its selection. Others have complained about the €19 extra charge for the car parking but it wasn't unexpected and it gave me peace of mind and a good night's sleep knowing my car was safe. Check in staff were warm and welcoming and the hotel itself exudes an old world charm. Hotel Splendid is one of the very few hotels in Baveno that is on the shore of Lake Maggiore with it's own private beach and dock for boats. The terrace outside is a perfect location to sit and have a drink whilst watching the world go by. The bedroom furnishings are in keeping with the grandeur of days gone by adding to the overall ambience of the hotel. The bedroom was large, well appointed and spotlessly clean - with temperatures outside hitting 34c during the day and 25c at night efficient air-conditioning was very welcome. Breakfast was very good - a self serve buffet with a big selection of meats, cheeses, croissants, fruit, pastries, cake and cereals. I especially liked the fresh honeycomb which is not often seen these day's. Evening meals and wines were superb with a varied selection on offer. Everything was cooked to perfection and served by attentive waiters and waitresses. Wanting to explore the palaces on nearby islands we took the hotels advice and booked a private water taxi. For €100 the water taxi picked us up at the hotel and transported 6 of us to the three islands we wanted to visit - dropping us off and returning to pick us up when we made the phone call. The skipper also made a good recommendation on where to take lunch on 'the restaurant island'. That the Hotel Splendid is only rated as a 4* hotel is a surprise - for me it deserves a 5* rating.

    Only thing that was disappointing was the restaurant food: overcooked vegetables, stale bread, mayonnaise in sachets - just not up to par with the rest of the facilities you’d expect

    Beautiful location right on the lake, with its own jetty and ‘beach’ Grandiose and furnished in ornate and opulent style, lovely terraces overlooking the lake

    Very nice and recommendable.

    • Double or Twin Room - Mountain Side
    • Stayed 1 night

    The Staff at the restaurant are all very friendly and speak English, but we rate the restaurant a little below 4-stars because the service is not to standard, a little unorganized, which mostly points towards a lack of exacting and demanding managerial skill. Furthermore, the dishes are high in price and rather sparing in portions - giving the impression that "design" of "nouvelle cuisine" is back in vogue in the kitchen.

    Excellent Hotel, excellent location on the lake with its own Beach and Boat-dock. We stayed there in Sept. 2017 and again in August 2023. The Hotel is very large, and it accommodates mostly tourists and tour-groups. It can be considered a 4-star quality hotel for its furnishings and services.

    The Hotel Splendid is one of the very best hotels I have stayed at anywhere, and this was the third time that our family had visited in the past 10 years. The location is stunning and the rooms and breakfast looking over the lake are amazing. Swimming is excellent from a great pontoon, or from the beach or in the pool if preferred. The staff at Reception were fantastic throughout the whole of our stay and incredibly helpful, assisting us in finding medical help for my daughter late on a Saturday evening. They also very kindly provided us with a wheelchair for my elderly mother over the week at no charge. This transformed our trip, since all the wonderful cafés and restaurants in Baveno and the ferry station for an enchanting boat trip to Stresa were then all within reach, via a 15 minute stroll through the Villa Fedora Park and along Via Pavia (Pavia Street).

    Parking outside of the hotel and inside has the same price 20 euro which is expensive for Italy and inside is acceptable but for outside?

    Nice panorama, good place to relax, very clean and beautiful. Nice, very helpful and welcome stuff. Terrasse of the restaurant has the amazing view. Few minuts of prominade and you at the port where you can take tickets and go to visit magnificent Isola Bella and other Islands

    In rooms could be coffee machine. Nespresso or similar (time in balcony with coffee would be very nice). In Booking.com was not mentioned that there are additional 5% service fee (in other portals that is mentioned, so you should plan 5% extra expenses)

    Luxury hotel. Great staff. We had lake view room – fabulous views. Dinner in restaurant was as it should be in top level restaurant – very delicious. Everything as in 5* hotel (even if it has just 4*). Highly recommended
