Grand Hotel Majestic

Personnel très accueillant et arrangeant quand il faut l’être. Un grand merci à vous pour nous avoir permis de passer deux jours dans un cadre idyllique au bord du lac majeur. Nous recommandons l’établissement !

Hotel belle époque très calme au bord du lac. Très belle terrasse. Piscine couverte. Parking un peu compliqué. Dommage que les petits déjeuners ne soient pas servis en extérieur.

Certainly not a 4 star superior hotel. Poor service from the moment you arrive. Passports confiscated and not told when we could collect. Room is extremely dated and whilst clean not worthy of 2 stars in terms of facilities. TV which does not show English channels. Noisy fridge. Lights not working. As we stayed in September air con was not available. Some of the Shutters for the windows didn’t open making room much warmer than necessary. Noise from the bar and terrace down below was late into the evening on our first nights stay. Breakfast was very poorly labelled (buffet style) so anyone with a food allergy would have difficulty knowing what they were eating. Only one cup of tea or coffee was offered. Cups were also dirty and no apology offered when we asked for another. food was not covered so potentially unhygienic. No kettle in the room so had to request hot water from the bar for a cup of tea. This despite a request as to why there wasn’t which was ignored by reception. Toilet continued to flush and water wasted. Unhygienic shower curtain hanging in the bath. No separate shower. So problematic for mobility issues. Separate toilet but only one bin between the 2 rooms. Stayed 2 nights but towels not changed or carpet vacuumed. No bathrobe despite website saying* they were provide. Broken safe, very small queen size bed. Don’t expect USB charging ports. Oh and no drinking water provided, yes you can drink water from the tap but they still don’t provide more than 1 small glass in the bathroom. If you mention anything to reception they say ‘you only need to ask’ but why should I expect to keep asking for the basics? I don’t want to waste my holiday asking for these things, just provide! 4 star hotels should do. Which are all of the above. Does this really sound like a 4 start hotel even for Italy?

What a fabulous hotel! If you want to experience the Italian Lakes as you’ve seen them in the films, this is the place for you. Beautiful traditional decor, sumptuous with high ceilings and views to die for. Immaculately clean and with lovely grounds, including a private beach with direct access to the water. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff. A new favourite that we will return to next year.

We just returned from our trip to Lake Maggiore where we stayed at the Grand Hotel Majestic at the end of our Viking Cruise. The hotel was wonderful as were the amazing staff. A big shout out to Marianna who was so helpful in arranging a private boat with Pierre and making dinner reservations for our group of 5. We all absolutely loved the hotel and the whole area which was non touristy, quiet and peaceful. The veranda was so nice at the end of the day . We cannot wait to return.

Just back from 6 days at Lake Maggiore staying at the Grand Hotel Majestic. Lots to do (ferry rides to local towns, palaces on the Borrowmean Islands, Villa Taranto, even a scenic ride on the Centovalli train to Locarno in Switzerland) but key was the hotel itself. Very spacious and smart with lawns down to the Lake (lots of sunbeds) and our room was newly decorated with huge bathroom and a south-facing balcony overlooking the water (perfect for Prosecco !). Good restaurant but lots of local choice too (only 5 minutes walk). Were made to feel very welcome by new manager Thomas Schmidt and his excellent staff. Will definitely return.
