Grand Hotel Majestic Reviews

Top location with beautiful view of the lake. Very nice decor. Basic room has simple bathroom. Very friendly staff.

Very welcoming staff and accommodating when necessary. A big thank you to you for allowing us to spend two days in an idyllic setting on the banks of Lake Maggiore. We recommend the establishment!

Very quiet Belle Epoque hotel by the lake. Very nice terrace. Indoor swimming pool. Parking a little complicated. Too bad the breakfasts are not served outside.

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 stayed there at the end of August : The hotel is magnificent: the reception hall, the terrace and the garden with lake view are very picturesque. The room itself, with side lake view and balcony was OK. We paid for an upgrade to have a balcony but it’s not really worth it as it was on the street side. The mattress and pillows were too firm to our taste. The pool area and water was warm , the lounge chairs in the garden were nice. We tried the massage provided at the spa which was a nice experience. The sauna would need to be renovated as the lower bench was broken and could be dangerous. The only negative point would be the parking situation : the hotel makes you pay to “privatize” the street with a plastic sign… not very sure it’s fully legal, the only advantage is that your spot is guaranteed but I honestly think that if you don’t pay you would still have a space…

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.

Firstly, the positives of this place: - close to town, and there are many choices to dine we found ourmt the next night. - right on the lake (which this time of year you can still swim) - decor and architecture is great - good pool/ gym and sauna facility - reception staff were very good - shout out to Lorenzo also who provided great F&B service We were part of a tour (which is pitched at well travelled people in small tour environments). As such we might have been expecting better. Cons: - breakfast was not good, nor was service in that area. This was amplified by identifiable better service for other groups, with no discernible tariff differences in speaking with them. - dinner as guests of hotel incurred an additional charge to sit down and eat - seriously, it's a risorante! Not sure if could have a stand and eat option but plate would be difficult to balance

Beautiful setting on the lake, with view of lake from our room. The room was large. The bathtub was deep. The food in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was excellent. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience.

We have just completed a ten day stay at the Grand Hotel Majestic and it was a wonderful stay. It's located on the shore of Lake Maggiore with beautiful grounds, fabulous facilities and very attentive staff. The area is magnificent with beautiful botanic gardens within a short walk and accessed by an excellent ferry service. The town of Pallanza is small but houseds a number of excellent restaurants and bars and the towns of Stresa and Intra are close by. It's a beautiful place to stay, made even more special by those that work at the hotel.

Hotel is in much need of some updates. The sheets and bedding were all ripped and ball-y and the carpets are stained. One pillow each on bed. We were really disappointed after staying at the hotel majestic in bologna. Would not rate this as a 5 star hotel more like 3. Location is great and breakfast buffet was just ok. Most hotels now let you order omelets or eggs how you like, we missed that. This is our 4th time to the lakes and we would not stay here again. Hotel needs some painting and updates to rooms

We stayed here as part of our Viking extension. We had a nice room overlooking the lake. The bed was not the best, and as with older hotels, there were some "charming" things to consider. We turned on the little lights on the ceiling, and they blew out. The bedside lamp had a frayed cloth wire with the metal exposed (I have not seen such a wire in probably 50 years). We reported these issues, but it was a weekend. I expected the lamp to be replaced because that's definitely a fire hazard, but no. Anyway, it's a pretty place, the air conditioning worked well, and it's a five minute walk to town with its many restaurants.

This hotel is amazing ! Staff are super helpful and attentive - nothing is too much trouble for them. Room service is the best I’ve ever had - fresh pasta delivered to the room in under 20 min (had hangovers)! In the best location - right in the hustle bustle but rooms are so quiet . We will 100% be coming back here .

The Grand Hotel Majestic is located on a dreamy corner between Verbania Intra and Verbania Pallanza. Tradition meets modernity here! The rooms meet today's standards of a four-star hotel, while the traditional facilities from the hotel's construction are everywhere. It is worth taking a room facing the lake so that you can enjoy the wonderful view of Lake Maggiore. Pallanza with its small, friendly restaurants is just a few minutes' walk away, so you will find everything you need for a relaxing long weekend. The staff is friendly and accommodating and guests feel at home here.
