We chose to stay in Novara because we have a friend who lives in the city. This hotel was very luxurious for a reasonable price. It is conveniently located near a huge supermarket (that doesn't interfere with all the free and safe street parking). There is also a classic Italian bar right near the supermarket, run by a family of... More

I stay at this hotel for business on a fairly regular basis. Every visit has been excellent and the rooms and service in general i can not fault. Well done Hotel La Bussola keep up the good work!

Staid in Novara for one night on a business trip and enjoyed this hotel quite a bit. It is conveniently located, quite close to the city center (that I could see for 30 min), and lots of free parking around the hotel. The room was spacious, nice bathroom, comfortable bed. Breakfast was good, coffee (of course you are in Italy)... More

The staff is professional and attentive to personal needs (in reply to many older comments on this post, that does not mean artificial friendliness as it's habitual in the anglo-saxon world). The rooms have been renovated recently, so I guess... More

Entering La Bussola is like entering a building a century ago. You can argue about its decoration: is it tasteful or simply out-dated? Clocks are everywhere but perhaps they are also many Clean. Noisy when guests are passing by. Sleeping comfort is ok. The bath room lacks a closure to the outside world, there is a see-through curtain, but that... More

We really enjoyed staying in this hotel me and my family. people were very nice and did not count efforts to make our trip very pleasant.

We drove into Novara looking for a hotel and ended up at the Bussola. Lady at the desk was very friendly and so was the personell at the restaurant, which was a relief after lots of their unfriendly and arrogant fellow Italians in Umbrie and Tuscany. Room was perfect and luxurious everything worked and the jacuzzi shower was heavenly!!!! Room... More
