This hotel was not my first choice-- I was hoping for something cheaper-- but I booked it due to the limited openings available as I took the train into Varese. This hotel is small, has a personal touch, and the accommodations were excellent. The room was clean, fresh, and welcoming and the bed was fitted wonderfully. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the continental breakfast a nice start to each day, and the location excellent. Ultimately this 'alternate' choice was ideal and I will definitely stay here again.
