I was pleasantly surprised when I checked into this hotel as I had booked a single room and requested a balcony. The room was on the small size but the bed was a double and the room did have a small balcony. The hotel was very clean and I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast... more

Arrived by train in Stresa and hotel was 10 mins walk away - opposite ferry station. We were given a lake view room but as only on 2nd floor part of view was distorted by tops of trees. Room was clean but basic - TV offered usual news channels, hairdryer, but no tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was basic - cereal,... more

We had passed through Stresa 6 years ago on a train and in the brief time at the stazione, we fell in love with it and always wanted to come back and stay a bit. We had the opportunity and took advantage of it. I booked through the hotel website, and the owners response was welcoming and quite warm. The... more

We thought this hotel was ideal for anyone looking for centrally situated, reasonably priced accommodation. Our 4th floor twin-bedded room was reached by the small lift and although fairly basic, had comfortable if narrow beds and shower etc. on suite. There was limited choice for breakfast but what there was, was fresh and well presented. On one or two evenings... more

The only two negative points were that the lift only reaches the first floor, and we 4 ladies had to carry our cases and bags without any assistance, up 2 or 4 flights of stairs depending on which floor our... more

This hotel was a welcome relief after the dump we stayed at in Florence(hotel la noce). It was great to be in Stresa in May, very calm weather and no need for air conditioning. The only weak point about this place is that its next to the "city hall" and the restaurant under the hotel has entertainment every night...which is... more

It is well maintained, not run down and the rooms looked new. The staff spoke English. Our room had 2 balconies overlooking a square/piazza (noisy) and Lake Maggiore (breathtaking). Room: clean, large and spacious, with large cupboards. Ceramic floor tiles. Beds are soft – on springs. Attached shower: large toilet with bidet, shower stall, hair dryer which are all functional.... more
