Reviews for Atahotel Varese
Review 1:Bad service, thermostat didn't work, lights were temperamental, 1 iron in the hotel for guests to use, restaurant was terrible, reception ordered taxi late
Review 2:Rooms were big and clean, complimentary bottled water in rooms
Review 3:Pool was just too cold to swim in despite the lateness of the season and great of the day. We both tried countless times but it really wasn't comfortable to get in. The occasional other guests couldn't use it either. Also there was no atmosphere anywhere. No music at the poolside, no drinks service. Even the water cooler in the fitness centre was empty and there were no staff to ask. The breakfast room staff were like ghosts. They cleared the tables silently but didn't appear long enough to ask for anything like more hot water for tea or decent size mugs. The bar area at night was so quiet and felt anti social. I guess if it was a business stay hotel it was appropriate but it didn't really have a holiday feel at all.
Review 4:Excellent value. Receptionist was polite and efficient. Room was spotless, pool area was attractive and clean. Bar man was friendly.
Review 5:Location was a bit far from town if you didn't have transportation. That limited restaurant choices.
Review 6:Staff very helpful, especially Louisto. Room was great, good breakfast daily.
Review 7:Fitness room could have more weights, door keys didnt work well, hotel restaurant is not as good as the restaurants in town.
Review 8:Nice room, nice hotel, nice staf, good breakfast
Review 9:WiFi connection was poor on the fourth floor.
Review 10:We had a little trouble checking in for our flight home. The staff really helped us with this -- spent lots of their time getting it straight.
Review 11:Terrible WIFI. I didn't really succeded to connect. That couldn't be in hotel which calls itself "business".
Review 12:Spacious and decored rooms, Good breakfeast, clean and good location close to airport.
Review 13:We had the suit which was wonderfully laid out and equipped. The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. A missing baby cot was immediately taken care of.
Review 14:Housekeeping services were poor. Every day there was a problem. One day no toiletries left, but they took away the half used ones. Result, nothing to shower with at 5-30am! Dirty cups not replaced. Surfaces not wiped.
Review 15:Very helpful staff at all times in reception. Clean environment.
Review 16:Nothing
Review 17:The staff were all so helpful and friendly especially on reception.The hotel facilities were excellent and the suite was just so comfortable I didn't want to come home.I will be booking the Atahotel again on my return to Varese.Thank you for a lovely stay.
Review 18:The unpleasant part of this stay was the restaurant; very small selection (3 options for each category) and very expensive for what you get. Besides the staff in the restaurant is very poor, we were attended by an older fat guy who could bearly speak English and at the end was also rood. He actually insulted me in Italian, as he was not aware I understand the language. That person should not be working there. We didn't say anything but I complained with the guy at reception, which said will inform the manager...We don't recommend the restaurant however, it is better to search for something close by.
Review 19:The hotel is okay basically, location was convenient for our meeting next morning. Room and bathroom were fine, confortable, although only shampoo and shower gel is a bit unusual for a 4 star hotel. Staff at reception helpful, no complains.

Review 40:for the 1st time in Varese, in so many years, i felt really at home. everybody at the hotel was so kind and helpful. equipments and facility up to the highest standards. great deal. thanks.
Review 41:Charging 8 EUR/Day for Internet access and 5 EUR/Day for a kettle in the room not very understandable based on room prices that they are charging. Hotel restaurant is operated by a different company and their staff is unfriendly and not helpful at all. They do have only one highchair for the babies while there are more than 5 babies in the restaurant almost at anytime. Breakfast is really limited. They do only serve scrambled eggs, If you ask hard boiled or sunny side up; it costs you another 6-8 Euro per egg. I asked for bag of black tea.After 3 more requests within 20 min. They told me , it was out of stock and there was nothing they could do about it even though there is a bar ( operated by them ) and hotel reception 20m away from where the restaurant is and you can find one easily. When I wanted to complain about this to the hotel manager. Reception was informed me that hotel manager was not there for the weekend. Hotel management should re-consider of choice for company that operating the restaurant or not include breakfast in their offers.
Review 42:Location of the hotel is convenient to do daily trips around for other attractions. It has a large outdoor and indoor parking area for cars. Playground outside and playroom inside is quite nice for kids convenience. Hotel staff is friendly & helpful.
Review 43:The hotel sorroundings were not the best if you dont have a car you cant get anywhere walking distance. Breakfast choice was ok. Eggs were not good. Varese is not a city we will visit again, it is rundown.
Review 44:Free Parking. Personnel very knowlegable, gave us good restaurant recommendations. Room was spacious and well equipped.
Review 45:The only bad thing was to pay for internet especially in a business hotel. They should change it.
Review 46:Staff (especially Luisito) and the staff in the restaurant was really helpful. The room and the bathroom were clean balcony was nice.
Review 47:1) Felt like I went to a boarding school.2) Asked for an Iron in my room to press clothes and was informed Ironing was not permitted in the room 3) Was informed that I have to take my clothes to a specific space in the 3rd.floor to Iron clothes. 4) When I asked why it was not permitted in the room, Was informed by Reception that this was the RULE IN ITALY??? 5) When I told them that I was coming from another hotel in ITALY where I ironed my clothes, I was told "When steam comes off the IRON, it will activate the FIRE ALARM sytem" Since I am an Engineer in the same field, I informed them that this is totally not true since I activate such systems. I was finally informed that this is the MANAGEMENT POLICY??? I am writing to the management regarding the same shortly
Review 48:The hotel is a series of missed opportunities. It's mediocre (not really bad), but with that infrastructure (and at that price) it should be great, and that's just not the case. The staff behind the scenes (kitchen, cleaning) cuts quite a few corners, and seem disinterested. Coffee and eggs at breakfast were cold (even when they've just put a fresh can of coffee on the counter), and every other morning, the pastries and bread were stale. The food at the restaurant is bland (which is a pity, because I think they use quality ingredients) and quite expensive (head into town for dinner), and again, sometimes cold already. The cleaning staff will not always replenish the coffeemaking facilities. Wifi isn't free, which it should be in this day and age (probably because in a business hotel, people will buy the vouchers regardless) And while not really a negative, all the lifts have a button for a fifth floor which is plainly not there (it can't be pressed), which is a bit odd.
Review 49:Rooms are clean, modern, and not uncomfortable (rockhard beds, but that seems to be the Italian way). The reception staff are quite friendly.
Review 50:paying for WIFi and the way you had to log off or lose your time. No drink maker in room. Free water was not replaced daily.
Review 51:Helpful staff, clean room, reasonable range of breakfast.
Review 52:Walking the 1 mile (1.6km) into town was fine for me since I likewalking. Getting to Lake Varese was occasionally a problem since it it6km away and there were not always taxis available.
Review 53:The hotel was very comfortable and the staff is excellent. They workedhard to satisfy all their guests' needs.
Review 54:I loved the Hotel facilities and the wonderfully attentive staff. Luisito was most helpful. Trying to find us the best rooms for our family (we are six including two young children) and giving us excellent recommendations on local attractions and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Review 55:That some people put their towel in the morning on the longchairs near the swimmingpool and they only come in the afternoon to the pool.
Review 56:About everything
Review 57:We did like the setup of the hotel and the room. Spacious, very clean and quiet. Perfect Hotel to use to spend one or teo night pasing through. Breakfast was very good
Review 58:breack fast could have better choices , very simple menu has got now ,
Review 59:it is nice hotel in very good location , not far from city but need car to not have problems , new design concept , for 2 days stay and enjoy nature is good choice
Review 60:The breakfast is limited The bathroom toilet was not very well cleaned
Review 61:The staff atnthevrront desk were very friendly and fast. The hotel is well kept and the room was well designed.
Review 62:New hotel, nice design and a good staff. The room is very comfortable, king size bed and nice balcony with an open view. The breakfast was great too.
Review 63:Pretty much everything but that was our fault for our priority being parking and budget . You need to blow the budget around milian
Review 64:I think we may have clicked the wrong link as it was not what we thought we had booked . We were trying to please a group of different people
Review 65:Hotel staff not particularly friendly, although did what asked for. Restaurant was deserted, waiter didn't have clue about the menu and did not spoke english, chef was ignorantly playing cards on the computer in the corner. Meals were of verying quality: the steak was excellent, side dishes and vegetables were not particularly good.
Review 66:Nice, spacious rooms with top notch bathrooms.
Review 67:We decided to have a dinner at the hotel the first night. The service was appalling. Our order for drinks has not arrived on two occasions, the meal was overpriced and not very tasty. At the breakfast there was no fresh vegetable and it was not possible to order fried eggs free of charge. There was also only one type of bread left in the morning - the bread basket was not filled up continuously.
Review 68:Room was spacious, nice and clean. There was a kettle and tea/coffee in the room. The gym was well equipped.
Review 69:Everything! My bed was firm and comfortable. Breakfast as well as dinner was great. The hotel was great as well for my business trip as the hotel has an iron on one of the floors that is professional standards. A fitness Center, pool balcony and many other features!
Review 70:The staff was very friendly, helpful and most important very nice with children . I would recommend this hotel for families. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
Review 71:I would appreciate longer opening hours of the hotel restaurant (lunch till 2:30 pm and then dinner since 7:30 pm, we arrived from the trip at 2:35 pm and were starving).
Review 72:I liked the hotel and all the services.
Review 73:Breakfast was ok, but we ate one evening and we were not happy. Firstlythe prices are too high; but the food served to me was cold (they alsoserved-up the crusty bread rolls from breakfast!) and the service veryslow .. (even for Italy). Despite serving me cold food there was not oneapology. For me that is pretty disgraceful (even for Italy). So, Iwouldn't recommend anyone to eat in this Hotel .. but you are not goingto print that, are you? In any case, thought you might like to know.
Review 74:Nothing worked. Almost no guests, room key cards did not work (twice),room safe did not work, room fridge did not work, etc. etc. Internet wasexpensive, and service was intermittent. The room we were assigned (witha small balcony) overlooked the hotel garbage pickup area. Why wouldthey assign this room when the hotel was almost empty??Service was atrocious. Tried to have dinner in huge (empty - only one table occupied) dining room. Were assigned table next to service desk where people were coming and going to arrange party in another room. Waiter refused to move us. Band started practicing loudly in adjacent room so we left. Room service was expensive, food arrived cold, and food was not what we ordered. DO NOT STAY HERE, this is a conference hotel that does not work for individual guests (and maybe not for conferences either). On checkout I refused to pay for room service dinner and dysfunctional internet. I won the battle after a half hour argument.
Review 75:The only thing I liked was the building and the room. Beautiful, new,modern. But the place is a white elephant with no guests and no service.
Review 76:The location is not practical, and is more that 1km from the center. We ended up having to drive into town. Dinner at the restaurant was quite disappointing - the food was mediocre, oily and was not good value for money. In addtion the restaurant staff was so slow (taking over 20 minutes to bring the check) and did not have the level of professionalism one would expect in a 4 star hotel. I'd recommend the hotel to others but bear in mind the location and avoid the restaurant for dinner.
Review 77:The hotel itself is quite new and we were greeted by very friendly recption staff. The family room was quite spacious, with a wonderful bathroom, kitchenette and separate bedroom. The breakfast (included) was a full hot and cold buffet, with fresh fruit and glutin-free breakast options.
Review 78:Not much. I'd prefer the room floors to have carpet, instead of wood.
Review 79:Nice hotel, good size rooms, good breakfast, free parking, quiet area,new building. Good size extra bed for our 4-year-old.
Review 80:We don't like the lack of customers. This hotel deserve to be more busy
