So called for the collection of antique clocks. Somewhat difficult to find by car at night. My luck was to have a wizzkid wih us who could handle a gps on his i phone to get us out of those intricate streets, because not even at the rail station was there a taxi which could have served as follow-me car....

I have stayed already a few times at this hotel and found it always reliably delivering its value for money. The staff is professional and attentive to personal needs (in reply to many older comments on this post, that does not mean artificial friendliness as it's habitual in the anglo-saxon world). The rooms have been renovated recently, so I guess... More

Entering La Bussola is like entering a building a century ago. You can argue about its decoration: is it tasteful or simply out-dated? Clocks are everywhere but perhaps they are also many Clean. Noisy when guests are passing by. Sleeping comfort is ok. The bath room lacks a closure to the outside world, there is a see-through curtain, but that... More

We drove into Novara looking for a hotel and ended up at the Bussola. Lady at the desk was very friendly and so was the personell at the restaurant, which was a relief after lots of their unfriendly and arrogant fellow Italians in Umbrie and Tuscany. Room was perfect and luxurious everything worked and the jacuzzi shower was heavenly!!!! Room... More

My boyfriend and I were put up in this hotel by Alitalia. It was awful. There were stains on the carpet and the floor. It was loud until the banquet was over. The food was awful. I think that the food was leftover from the banquets. The staff was very rude. We had trouble getting our TV working becuase the... More

We were put in this hotel by Alitalia when they overbooked our plane home to the US. It is supposedly a family run hotel only 30 minutes from Malpensa. It is actually more like 45-60 minutes. The rooms smelled funny, the carpet was dirty, the air conditioner didn't work. The only other guests there were people who had been put... More
