Hotel La Bussola Novara
A refined hotel with upscale dining in Novara
Über dieses Hotel
Hotel La Bussola Novara stands out as the area's most polished option: bright quarters in a refined setting with an upscale restaurant, a cozy bar and an exercise room, roughly six minutes by taxi from the Basilica of San Gaudenzio. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are all included, alongside an airport shuttle for guests flying into Malpensa without a rental car. The property is pet-friendly, accessible and offers full-service laundry. It's based in Novara itself rather than within walking distance of Ondaland, so it suits a trip built around a rental car, with the hotel as an evening base offering real hotel-standard dining and service. The full-service laundry is a genuine practical plus for a longer trip that generates a steady pile of wet swimwear and pool towels.

Unsere Einschätzung
This is the desk's pick for the most refined stay in the area, with genuine hotel-standard dining and service that the countryside B&Bs closer to Ondaland don't attempt. It's not within walking distance of the park, so a rental car is part of the plan. Families prioritising proximity above polish should look toward Vicolungo instead.
- ✓Reserve a table at the upscale restaurant in advance during peak summer weeks.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle ahead of arrival if flying into Malpensa without a rental car.
- ✓Use the exercise room to keep up a routine during a multi-day trip built around the kids' park days.

Warum Gäste es liebenWe chose this for our anniversary week that happened to line up with the kids' school break, and the upscale restaurant meant we didn't have to hunt for a proper dinner after driving back from Ondaland each evening. It's not walking distance to the park, so we relied on the rental car daily, but the exercise room let one of us keep some kind of routine while the other took our teenager to the water park.
