8/10 Good
"This hotel is beautifully maintained and in a great location. The staff were helpful. However, breakfast was a let down. No choices for someone who wants to eat fresh, low-carb and no pork. A selection of fruit would be great and some savoury vegetarian options."

"Wonderful lakeside location, away from the main Stresa hotels, but by a ferry terminal. Pleasant well organised breakfast buffet - but no kettle or fridge in the room."

"-Great location, friendly staff and a lovely breakfast We stayed four nights with our toddler and would happily come back. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and the location couldn't be better: right in the centre of Stresa, with the ferry to the islands just outside the door and restaurants, cafés and the lakefront all a short walk away. Breakfast was included and was easy, quick and delicious, which made a real difference with a little one in tow. We stayed in two rooms during our trip. The lake view room on the third floor had a fantastic view over the lake. The second room faced the street at the back, which had its own appeal: you could feel the energy of the town in the evening. Two things worth knowing. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, the beds are on the firmer side. And for international travellers, the power outlets are the older-style European sockets, so your international charger might not fit. Bring an adapter that works with Italian sockets. Overall, a very good stay, and we'd recommend it."

"Excellent location! Just 5 min walk from train station and 2 min walk to Lake and promenade. Staff was very friendly. The only downside was a very small shower with no tray to put soap or shampoos. You have to either hold them or put on the floor."
