Budget hotel located about 100 metres from the train station (closest hotel to rail). Small room with comfortable bed. No amenities like hairdryer or coffee machine. Old 10" television mouted high up on wall didn't work. No air conditioning. Decent but not great "free" breakfast. Staff spoke only a little English. Towels were about 2mm thick. more

We stayed here only 2 nights and it was wonderful. Considering how lovely the town of Stresa and the lake are, we didn't spend much time in the room so didn't need all the fancy mod cons. The room was very basic and quite small, but it had everything we needed (bed, TV, shower). If you want all the fancy... more

Hotel Boston is a clean little hotel about one block from the lake. The rooms are adequately sized and comfortable. We were on the top floor and had a small walk-out which afforded a view of the lake and the lake-front hotels. Breakfast was a standard Italian hotel spread. more

Stresa is somewhere that I had never heard of before our trip but I would recommend it to everyone as it is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places in Italy. The Hotel Boston was by far the best hotel during our 2 week stay. We had a room with 2 small balconies that looked out over the lake... more

We stayed at Hotel Boston the night of 9/9. We had reserved a room at Hotel Primavera but they did not have a room for us because someone did not vacate their room when they had to go to the hospital for chest pains. This is completely understandable. Hotel Primavera took us over to Hotel Boston. We arrived at Hotel... more

We stayed for two nights at Hotel Boston. It was not on the main road overlooking Lake maggiore, but just behind some of the really expensive hotels. Our room on the top floor had a balcony that did look out over the Lake. The front desk staff spoke fairly good English, and directed us to two nice restaurants to get... more

This hotel is great location within walking distance of everything in Stresa. The only fault we had was the elevator. 2 people and a bag are about it. Very clean, balconys on the 4th floor are small but nice views of the lake (partial) They also recomended the "Cafe Torino" in the square of Stresa. We loved the food there... more

Just returned from 4 weeks in Italy (so we saw LOTS of Italian lodgings). This hotel was OK, but for the price (100 Euros), we had much nicer rooms. Pros: room was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful, conveniently near the train station, and there was a bit of a view of the lake as seen between other hotels.... more

Very clean, close to the lake, beautiful and easy location to the train station or to the lake. Basic as far as amenities, but clean and convenient. The staff are incredible and kind. A great value, I will certainly stay there again. more

A nice hotel in a good location but very dated and styled on the Sixties. Very clean, reasonably furnished rooms, nice breakfasts but the long bare-floored corridors make it very noisy. There is only a view of the lake on the third floor or above and that is across the rooftops. Despite its quirks I would definately stay here again. more
