My first impressions were good, very friendly reception staff and although my single room was tiny, it had a balcony and lovely view of the lake. Then came sleep time...or not...paper thin walls meant you could hear EVERYTHING - conversations word for word, babies in rooms on either side that cried all night and of course noises that make babies....

Dear sir, we are very sorry for the troubles you had during your stay. We thaught to make you a favour making an upgrade to a single superior room with balcony at the same price of a room on the back and we are so sorry that you couldn’t appreciate this. If you had told us the problem after the... More

Hotel is close to center and staff are very good, but rooms were not clean, and bathroom had dirty tiles and walls. There was a general feeling of a lack of cleaniness. This property needs repair. More

In general the hotel was alright. Nothing special. The good thing is that you can reach the center within only a few minutes walking. The bathroom was quite small and average clean. The sleeping quality not good at all. 2 beds pushed together which always split isn't for a couple trying to cuddle. Also the mattress wasn't the best. Nevertheless... More

Nice basic hotel close to the lake shops and cafes. Staff friendlly and helpful - lent us umbrellas when it was raining. Breafast was typical of europe but with unlimited tea and coffee - so much cheaper than eating in nearby cafes. We had a room at the back so was fairly noisy but not enough to keep you awake. More

Good location, short walk to the centre of Stresa. Located midway between town and cable car. Stresa is the perfect location for sightseeing around the lake. Approximately 75 meters from the lake, we paid for a room with a lake view. Breakfast fine, typical breakfast for continental Europe hotel. Good place to relax after sightseeing. Not grand like some of... More

I can not understand all the good reviews this hotel has. This hotel is the 1 reason my boyfriend and I will never stay in another 3 star hotel. These are the facts - When in your room you can hear everything - I mean everything next door - we heard a person going to the loo from start to... More

We arrived two days early for our reservation. The hotel was very helpful in securing a double-bed room, and we stayed 4 nights. Stresa was the most restful stop on our tour of 2.5 weeks. The hotel apologized for the smaller room, and double bed instead of twin beds, but it was their only room available. Others are larger, some... More

My husband and I traveled with both set of parents on a 2 week driving tour of Italy. We went to Stresa since it was close to family we were visiting in the area. The town is amazing and the sites on Isola Bella are not to be missed. We could easily have extended our stay here from 2 nights... More

Not much from the outside, but that's like all hotels in Europe. It was within walking distance from the train station and the main downtown area. Our room was on the 4th floor, more spacious due to the cathedral ceiling. Full size bathroom, definitely a plus! Nice view of the lake from the walk-out balcony. More

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
