Checkout 10:00 to 10:30. You hardly had time to wake up while on vacation and you had to check out. Also no fridge in the room. On the plus side very clean and friendly staff.

All fine

A wonderful location! Very restful and relaxing. Thank you Il Chiostro

Nice hotel located in a dull place, but just round the corner from Intra shopping area and a 10 min walk from the shore and conveniently located for the ferry. The pictures oversells the old monastery feeling. Seems like a nice family hotel with an inner courtyard with a small playground for children and with rooms with a view to the courtyard. Everything from service and room to breakfast was OK, but nothing spectacular in any way.

Old rooms, the bathroom was so old and cramped, but comfy bed and lovely staff. Dinner wasn’t very good, though. Our food arrived still frozen.

The staff was very helpful. There was a coffee machine at the breakfast buffet producing some really odd liquids but the waiter was always ready to make a proper coffee for all of us at no oncost. Just one thing was annoying which is now becoming common - the A/C works also as central heating and as it was already cold it started heating at 4 am with such a noise that woke us up and its operation was so noisy that we had to turn it off till the morning.

Lovely gardens and surrounds, great spot to walk from bars and cafes and down to the waterfront.

A very beautiful setting just off the historical centre of Intra. Internal restaurant. Plenty of space to relax. Good breakfast. The Staff couldn’t please enough, they are so lovely. Recommended!

In Intra there are a lot of pointers "Il Chiostro", therefore, finding it in the city is easy. Near the hotel there is a small parking lot, but it is usually always busy. We left the car in another closed parking lot of the hotel, 100 meters away. The room was very cold. At night, we had to cover ourselves with a blanket, but still we froze. The breakfast is excellent with lots of cakes.

We stopped for one night on our way to Zurich. A very nice and clean hotel with very friendly staff. Very handy to the old town. Good secure free parking.

Nice hotel at the center of town, with pleasant amenities and efficient service.

I chose this hotel to be my base in a convenient part of Lago Maggiore. Transport connection in that part of Italy are somewhat strange (and most of them - completely unknown to every online tool starting from Google Maps and ending with Rome to Rio, but still the area is serviced by some public transport, and if you don't expect frequency and speed like in Germany or the UK, you can go from almost anywhere to almost everywhere - considering you have enough time and don't expect to visit more than 2-3 places per day. That said about the area, let me say also something about the hotel. It's easy to find, about 10 minutes walking from the port and the bus station, and even closer to Intra's centre. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and good looking for a 3-star hotel. The check-out time is a little non-standard (10 am) but if you ask at the reception, they will most likely accept something like 11:30 (at least that's what I needed). Wifi is working and fast enough, air conditioning is extremely silent and also working well... The hotel definitely won't make you say "wow", but it's good enough so that you don't feel you made a compromise. I would stay there again, if I'm traveling to the same place.

The hotel is partly based on old cloisters although on the interior it has a modern feel. The staff clearly take pride in the hotel. Nice well kept gardens. There is an auditorium that hosted a concert one night. The staff were very helpful and sorted out a problem I'd had with the toll motorways. This was very much beyond the basic role of reception staff. Location is fine and the ferry harbour is an easy walk. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Large Co-Op supermarket across the road. On site parking is limited but the hotel staff indicated other free places to park nearby. Breakfast is adequate but nothing special. Overall it is a very good place to stay.

When I call the hotel to know if there were rooms avaliable, they told me that unfortunately there weren't.How could it happen that the same day you made me a reservation for the hotel? Anyway it was a nice staying.
