We stayed here in May 2012 to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The hotel is very nice and it a good location overlooking the lake. We had a garden view room which overlooked the pool. This worked out quite well as the sun is on the back of the hotel in the afternoons so we were able to enjoy a... More

This is a very pleasant looking hotel. The entrance is very bright and airy, and all the public rooms are spotlessly clean. Our room was at the front of the hotel with magnificent views across the lake to the mountains. This too was bright and clean with a lovely balcony. Unfortunately, while we were there it was very, very hot... More

Set alongside the beautiful Lake Maggiore, this was a good hotel on a coach trip a couple of years ago. The rooms were good, the facilities good, but the food and the service was quite excellent. Stresa itself, was a beautiful town, typical Italiann and the people were so firndly

My wife and I have been visiting The Astoria Hotel, Stresa for a number of years. It is in a perfect setting to enjoy the town of Stresa and its surroundings with a frontage facing the Lake Maggiore and the Islands. These and other coastal areas, including Locarno are easily reached by frequent ferries. Local, reasonably priced, buses and trains... More

This hotel was in the right position for views, shops, bars, if you needed them! The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, helpful. The food was good, plenty of variety. Lake Maggiore is just beautiful.

We didn't choose the back, we were put there. Our Oct. visit with Riviera co-incided with a mini-heatwave. There was no air-conditioning, and room built up heat all day, so stiffling when wanting to go to bed. Asked at desk for air-conditioning and was told, by a tall miserable looking individual, it was 5 degrees last week, as if this... More

Hotel very satisfactory though by no means the best 4 star we have stayed in.Room spotless and well appointed. Based on earlier reviews we opted for a quiet room at the back of the hotel overlooking thehills of Stresa. Thanks also to other reviews we found the roof patio with its wonderful panoramic views but it seemed to be our... More

The front desk crew was mostly gruff except for the night man. The clientele is generally fairly geriatric, 80+...has a distinct feeling of being in a nursing home...the hotel is definitely tired...in need of a face lift, especially the bathrooms. Location is excellent...does not live up to it's 4 stars...

This hotel is in a fantastic lakeside location with a short walk to the centre of Stresa where there are plenty of restaurants. The public areas are lovely, and desk and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms seem to vary greatly. Initially we were given a very average room next to the lift shaft which was extremely noisy, moved... More
