Just ok

Though not in the old part of town, it is just a short walk. Easily found just 50 m from the roundabout at Orta San Giulio. We chose no breakfast, as it was ridiculous expensive - € 120 for 2 persons for 2 days - in the hotel.com app. Room was clean and OK and bed was fine. We had to search for a person at the reception a few times. Convenient parking downstairs is limited, so book in advance - price € 10 a day is OK

Good Location, a nice balcony in the room and free parking spaces just a few meters outside of the hotel (hotel garage is 10€/day) but unfortunately the wifi did not work properly and we were not allowed to keep our bikes in the room.

It was very clean the snacks available were nice car park was good and they got me soya milk and gluten free bread
First room had broken tatty shower and air con that didn't work got moved to alternative room nice shower no toilet seat they said they couldn't get one it wasn't comfortable!
Air con wasn't that effective
Staff were very mixed some helpful some quite rude
It was up a hill that was blind and didn't have any pavement
The breakfast was a very strange selection no toaster available and the fruit juice was very watered down the water heater broke and it was hard to get water for tea and you were shouted at if you tried to get it from the coffee machine!
Great potential needs good management

It is a bit tired but value for the price was fine.

We stayed here one night during heat wave. Unfortunately the air condition didn’t function at the same time as the elevator, and the lights went out 3 times during our stay. Apart from that the hotel is a bit worn down, but the service was friendly and breakfast ok.

Good location- nice panoramic walk to the old town. Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast fine but service at breakfast a bit chaotic.

Overnight stop and perfect for the job. Website and original booking was misleading over cost of parking but otherwise all good

Actually stayed at the hotel’s alternative location in downtown Orta San Guilo. Much better location than the original hotel. Staff extremely helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing. Ask to stay in their downtown location. Love Orta San Guilo

The hotel is located very close to Sacro Monte Di Orta. The breakfast was adequate, the WIFI did not work in the rooms. They were being installed while we were staying there. They had WIFI on the first floor but the first floor was not air conditioned. The staff was very friendly in fact they drove us the 1/2 mile to the train station the day we left.

We stayed at the Santa Caterina for a couple of nights in May. The hotel is a little way from the lakeside in Orta, but for us it was a good location. We arrived from Turin by train and the hotel was a short walk downhill from the station. The hotel staff were all really friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The hotel itself is pretty basic, and the WiFi only really worked in the ground floor, but it wasn't an issue for us. Breakfast was buffet style and there was a small area downstairs to make tea and coffee along with a selection of juices throughout the day.
A small walk down the road from the hotel took you past the beautiful hotel Crespo and there is a delicious gelato bar here next door to a bar.
We took the long walk lakeside down to the town and enjoyed the peace and scenery, but there is a quicker way too.
All in all, we both really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.

All aspects were very positive. Good breakfast.

A pleasant, friendly typical small hotel, close-15 minute walk.to Orta st Guilia. Clean, need to be away from the road if possible as we were. Fantastic breakfast. Free coffee and cakes downstairs! Would recommend. Only problem is wi fi-available only on the ground floor and sometimes not even then.

Hotel Santa Caterina is clean, reasonably comfortable, and the staff are mostly friendly and helpful. Especially Serena! The buffet breakfast is amazing. It is not luxury, but it does the job at a reasonable price.

Air conditionary for paying. No cassaforte.

Old fashioned hotel. 3 star. But great Buffett breakfast, plenty of choice and fresh each day.. Nice touch of coffee, cold drinks and cakes and yogurts to help yourself to.. Free wifi, patchy and only near reception.. Rooms basic, but clean.. Old style hotel with comfortable beds.. Choose a balcony room facing downhill.. We booked last minute, cheap deal to the lovely lake.. But you can't see lake at all from here.. Up the hill from main square 15 min brisk walk.. Not for the faint hearted .. Hotel is downhill walk from train station, bout 8 mins.. But not really near anything.. We would choose to stay in the square area next time as the walk up hill to the hotel in the heat was wearisome ! Go for one with a bathing area.

The hotel provides good value for money. Cleaning service was a bit slow (room done around 5 pm or so). A short walk from the city centre, but that was OK.
3.9
Hotel staff were very courteous and provided excellent choices for restaurants in the area. The hotel breakfast was very plentiful and many fresh choices were provided. Room and bathroom was large, clean and met all our needs.
3.9
Many lovely walks along the Lake, with cherry blossoms, Magnolias, and camellias out in April. Ferry trip to the top of Lake Orta was wonderful. Would have liked to have stayed longer than 2 days.
3.9
We were very impressed with the welcome and the receptionist was extremely helpful, even providing us with pliers and a screw driver when we couldn't open the padlock on one of our cases. The room was adequate and clean and the shower was good.
The choice of food at breakfast was excellent and we liked the availability of free water, soft drinks and cakes after 3 pm.
The only downside was the lack of a path on the road outside the hotel.

We got a better room for an upgrade of 10 Euro/day

It was a wonderful place to stay. Great breakfast and comfortable room. Very close to historic village of Orta

My husband and I (50s) stayed 6 nights in September. The room was on second floor. It was adequate for our needs and clean. The bed was firm but we like it that way. The location is on the edge of the town on San Guilio and a nice walk into the old town by a path along the lake. The return is uphill at the very end, but we are fit so managed this fine.
The breakfast buffet is expansive and there is a hospitality room open each day from 3pm where you can make yourself tea/coffee and cake.

We found the staff pleasant. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The best thing were the fantastic breakfasts - an absolute feast! The free hot and cold drinks and tasty snacks were a very good feature and welcome on return from a day out. Lake Orta is a bit off the main tourist route out of season and we found, without a car, that getting to other places was difficult. (May) We found that the hotel staff and the two tourist offices were unaware of the possibilities of public transport. With a bit of initiative we found our own route via public transport to Lake Maggiore which proved very easy. More information would have been good. It is not easy to get to Orta from the airport without a car. We decided to book a taxi which was a very good idea. The taxi firm were excellent. There is almost enough to do at Lake Orta for a week without travelling elsewhere and plenty of lovely eating places, several within easy reach of the hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday.

Very nice, friendly hotel overall in a great location for those arriving by train. It is a 15-20 minute walk to Orta San Giulio but if you are reasonably able bodied it's not really a problem, we went there and back 4 times in two days and were fine! The room was modern and clean with a balcony and a nice view of the little terrace. The only problem we had was that they had forgotten to put towels in our room, which they rectified immediately when we asked them. The breakfast buffet was lovely, very varied for a smallish hotel, and there was a free snack and soft drink bar in a little lounge available from 3pm until 7am.
3.9
We were particularly impressed with the friendly and helpful person on reception who was very willing to offer tourist advice.
Other very impressive features of this hotel were the in-room refrigerated bottled water and snacks, plus the availability of free snacks and drinks downstairs. Breakfasts were a highlight catering for all tastes and dietary needs
Wifi was only available downstairs
The hotel is handy to the train station, unfortunately on a busy road without pedestrian path, and a 15 min walk from the main square in Orta

Great hotel. We visited for 4 nights last week and loved every minute. The staff were brilliant, the breakfast was great, the snack room was a welcome advantage. I don't think walking 300m for free parking is that much of a problem at all but would agree with some other viewers about the slightly treachorous non-pavement immediately outside the hotel could be a problem for those with kids.
The room was perfectly adequate for a 3 star hotel, fine, uncontrollable air con, but given the summer we have had in England so far this year I was more than happy to be warm for a change, and it wasn't that bad at all, perhaps because we had a room at the rear so was perhaps a bit more shady?
I also realy enjoyed the fact that the hotel was a 15 minute walk into the centre of Orta SG, it gave an opportunity to appreciate the surroundings on the way down, and a bit of exercise on the way back. A stroll in the evening after eating far too much pizza is no bad thing in my book...
We'll be returning!
