Rooms were pretty good. I didn't eat in the hotel other than the adequate buffet breakfast. Reception is separate to the hotel. Each room has its own parking space outside, making it more suitable to a traveller with a car, and its not very far from the motorway network. Otherwise the location isn't great if you have no car, about 15 minutes from Malpensa by taxi, with nearer hotels to the airport. The railway station is a long walk, but a shorter taxi trip, it wasn't clear if there was a local bus service passing the hotel. Getting into Milan without your own transport isn't easy. First getting a taxi isn't straightforward, as there only seems to be one in Busto Arsizio, so if he's busy there will be a wait. There are two train stations, I used the main one, trains take about 40 minutes and are cheap, and run about 1/2 hourly. They run to Porta Garibaldi station, just outside the main centre of Milan, so you need to add another 20 minutes or so for the Metro into the centre. Lake Maggiore is about 40 minutes by train in the other direction, worthwhile if you can, with plenty of stations along its side.

Le camere erano piuttosto soddisfacenti. L’unico pasto che ho fatto all’hotel è stata la colazione, che era abbastanza buona. La reception è separata dal corpo dell’hotel. L’autostrada è vicina e c’è un posto macchina per ognuna delle camere, molto comodo per chi viaggia in automobile. Se, invece, si è sprovvisti di un mezzo proprio, la posizione non è proprio l’ideale: per arrivare all'aeroporto di Malpensa in taxi ci vogliono 15 minuti (e ci sono tanti altri hotel molto più vicini all'aeroporto); la stazione ferroviaria è più vicina, ma comunque è una bella camminata andarci a piedi; non era molto chiaro se ci fosse un servizio di autobus che coprisse la zona dell’hotel. Arrivare a Milano con i mezzi pubblici non è affatto facile, trovare un taxi è complicato, sembra che a Busto Arsizio ce ne sia uno soltanto, quindi, se è già occupato, bisogna aspettare. Ci sono due stazioni ferroviarie, io prendevo il treno da quella principale: ce n'è uno ogni mezz'ora, la corsa dura circa 40 minuti e il biglietto costa pochissimo. La fermata è quella di Porta Garibaldi, che è appena fuori dal centro di Milano, quindi bisogna aggiungere una ventina di minuti in metropolitana. Nella direzione opposta si trova il Lago Maggiore, il treno (anche in questo caso il viaggio dura circa 40 minuti) si ferma in varie località lungo il lago, vale la pena farci un salto.

Die Zimmer waren ganz okay. Ich habe im Hotel nur zum Frühstück etwas gegessen, ein akzeptables Büfett. Die Rezeption lag separat vom Hotel. Jedes Zimmer hatte einen eigenen Parkplatz, sehr praktisch für Gäste mit Auto, das Hotel liegt auch nicht weit von der Autobahn. Wenn man allerdings kein Auto hat, dann ist die Lage nicht so toll. Mit dem Taxi waren es nach Malpensa ca. 15 Minuten, zum Flughafen hin gibt es näherliegende Hotels. Zum Bahnhof war es zu Fuß ein ganzes Stück, mit dem Taxi ging es natürlich schneller. Ich habe nicht rausgefunden, ob das Hotel auch an einer Buslinie liegt. Ohne eigenes Auto war es recht beschwerlich, nach Mailand zu kommen. Es war schon mal nicht so einfach, ein Taxi zu bekommen, da es angeblich nur eines in Busto Arsizio gab und wenn das besetzt war, musste man warten. Es gibt dort zwei Bahnhöfe, ich habe immer den größeren benutzt und die Fahrt dauerte 40 Minuten. Es war recht günstig und der Zug fuhr halbstündlich. Die Züge fuhren zum Bahnhof Porta Garibaldi, am Stadtrand vom Maildn, mit der U-Bahn waren es dann noch einmal 20 Minuten. Zum Lago Maggiore waren es in entgegengesetzter Richtung 40 Minuten mit dem Zug. Es lohnt, auf dem Weg dorthin hielt der Zug aber oft an.
