Hotel Spagna is a 2-star hotel in Arona, Piedmont, located on a quiet street just 150 metres from Lake Maggiore and a short walk from the historic centre.
The property is designed for those visiting Arona in a practical and affordable way: the rooms, simple and functional, come with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and satellite TV, with options ranging from a single room to a family room for larger groups. Free internet stations are available for guests in the lobby.
The in-house restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes, while a sweet continental-style breakfast is served in the morning. The central location puts Villa Ponti and the ferry port for Locarno within easy reach, about one kilometre away, while Arona railway station is a ten-minute walk. From mid-April to mid-September, a shuttle service to Milan Malpensa Airport is available on request. An essential yet convenient base for exploring the lake without giving up good connections.
Hotel Spagna offers five room types designed for different needs, from a single room suited to solo travellers to a family room able to accommodate four people. All room types share an en-suite private bathroom, tiled floors, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, ensuring the same level of essential comfort across every available type.
The main differences lie in size and bed configuration: sizes range from 9 square metres in the Single Room, designed for a single guest, to 15 square metres in the Family Room and the Triple Room, better suited to small groups or families. The Twin Room, with its two separate beds, is the ideal choice for those travelling as a couple who prefer to sleep in separate beds, while the Double Room remains the most compact option for couples looking for the essentials.
The Double Room is the most compact option in the property, designed for couples seeking the essentials: tiled floors, en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and satellite TV in a cosy 13-square-metre space, with a city view.
With its 15 square metres and the combination of a bunk bed and a large double bed, the Family Room is the only one designed to accommodate up to four people, ideal for families with children who want to stay together in the same room.
The smallest room in the hotel, at just 9 square metres, the Single Room is designed for solo travellers looking for an essential yet complete accommodation, with a private bathroom, air conditioning and satellite TV.
As spacious as the Family Room but designed for three guests, the Triple Room combines a large double bed and a single bed across 15 square metres, with an indoor dining area useful for those staying a few extra days.
The only double room to offer two separate single beds instead of a double bed, this 13-square-metre room is ideal for those travelling together but preferring to sleep in separate beds, with a bidet and hairdryer in the bathroom.
Hotel Spagna offers guests an in-house restaurant serving Italian cuisine and a bar, as well as an all-day coffee shop service and meals suitable for children too. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while the lobby has internet stations available for guests.
General services include bicycle rental, luggage storage, a safe and an airport shuttle service available on request from mid-April to mid-September, as well as 24-hour security with magnetic key access and CCTV cameras in common areas.
