Business in Novara

On business I need a nice room, good wi-fi, easy parking, breakfast and attentive staff. The Bussola provides all these. It's away from the centre of Novara, but for me that's not a drawback. There are restaurants within walking distance. Parking is close by in the street. Breakfast is as expected in Italy. There's no bar but beer and other drinks may be purchased from the reception. The reception staff are attentive and friendly. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Should you be interested in antiques, the Bussola is filled with objects and paintings from recent and not so recent history. For those of a 'certain age' the technology on display brings back memories. I like the Bussola, and have stayed numerous times.

Prima wat oubollig hotel prijs/kwaliteit in balans

Beetje oubollig hotel en wel één met een eigen stijl wat het ook weer knus maakt. Bij aankomst zijn wij overvallen door muggen. Dit komt blijkbaar door rijstvelden inde omgeving. Ook in de lobby veel muggen… inchecken gaat prima echter uitingen in het Engels zou welkom zijn voor buitenlandse gasten. Airco was ingeschakeld door receptioniste voor ons verblijf zodat kamer koel was. Op de kamer geen last van de muggen. Bed en douche is prima. Veel handdoeken en extra tandenborstel etc is aanwezig. Ontbijt is prima en ze hebben goede verse koffie. Er was een heel aardige vrouw die iedereen hielp met wensen etc…. Prima service dus! Mijn advies zou zijn om ook meer aandacht te geven aan gezonde producten zoals sla, tomaten etc… Wel waren er mooie taarten voor de liefhebber. Volgens ons zijn die door het bedrijf zelf gebakken en dus lekker vers. Parkeren kun je hier gratis en voor de deur. Prijs/kwaliteit is hier prima in balans.

Every business trip to Novara

When in Novara, I always stay here. I used to visit Novara once a month for about a year and I have tried about ten different hotels, all recommended on various sites. This is the only place I will stay at. Sure the decorations are eclectic and the bed pillows are big, but the staff is fantastic, location unbeatable and breakfast suits most tastes, from southern European with sweeets and strong coffee to Northern European with eggs, hearty bread, cold cuts etc. My home in Novara
