  Very unfriendly

  Very unfriendly staff at the reception. Lady was in a bad mood, slammed doors. Not really cleean rooms. Room rate was directly taken from the credit card without asking. Never again. Shower very small. Hot water not all the time. Roomdoor difficult to open.

  4 days at Hotel Socrate

  I used this hotel because my business colleague stayed at the same hotel, so I booked from Booking.com, using American Express and I thought I prepaid because all hotels in the area was fully booked. However, I managed to find another hotel, but could not cancel this hotel anyway, because I could get no refund. When the end, it seemed like I hadn't prepaid anyway, it was only insurance for Booking.com, and needed to pay the hotel with VISA. Now to the hotel review: Looks good from the outside, and the placement is good. The inside of the hotel is tidy, but old and not too good looking. Very small elevator, but it's only 3 floors, so no problem unless you have lot of luggage. I had a double room, which was old, but again, tidy. Cleaness is overall good and new towels every day, but shower head could be cleaned now and then. Very small shower, and my room must have been close to the hot water boiler, because it appeared immediately in my shower. Water pressure is not the best. Actually, I thought the beds were quite ok, even I see other people may review it to not so good. Don't stay at the hotel to watch TV. Italian only channels and small TV in the room. My room also had a great view of the lake, and a nice balcony to sit outside. The staff is ok, but they're english is far from perfect. But they speak more english than the rest of local residents. There are wifi access in the rooms, but it's very slow. Wifi coverage in reception and breakfast area was however not accessible. Breakfast is not worth the price which is 5. Better to go to local cafe nearby if you have the chance, and pay less. Summarized: It's not the hotel you would prefer. If it's your only choice, it's ok and cheaper than the rest.

  Nice stay and close to the market on Saturday

  I stayed there with my two girls (8 and 12) and although the walls were very thin and the windows were thin, so we heard the noise from the street, we got up with the typical sound of the 'campanile' (the bells from the Italian churches). I loved especially the very friendly atmosphere at the restaurant. The children were the queens of the evening! They were treated like royals! On Saturday we walked to the market nearby! This market is there since I was a small child and we really enjoyed our stay! We even walked over to the Swiss part of Ponte Tresa! If you like you can leave your car in Switzerland and walk over to Italy! Just saying...but you may leave your car in front of the hotel since it has a security camera! I would recommend this place!!!

  Beautiful lake view...not much else

  Stayed here last nite. Wonderful lake view made it worth it. Room was clean but very dated....like out of the 70s. If you want breakfast, you must let them know the night before. I assume this is because they don't want to "over prepare" too much food. The shower opening is like 15 inches. If you can't squeeze thru that...you're not showering. YIKES! Adja ent restaurant owned by hotel also had lovely view & food was decent. It's really the gorgeous view that rates this place a 3 star.

  A short stay at the hotel to be in Italy and feel Switzerland

  On 25/9/18 we arrived at the hotel for a short stay in a trip to Switzerland with the children and friends. The location of the hotel is amazing right on the lake Lago on the border of Switzerland Italy The price per night was really cheap relative to Switzerland Highly recommended for a large family Up to five people in a very spacious room There is a very cheap breakfast at 5 Euro There is also a very good restaurant in the hotel with an amazing view to the lake In conclusion It is highly recommended and very cheap for those who want to be in Italy and feel Switzerland
