Hotel Belvedere
"o"
Hotel La Palma
"We have an wonderful time. The staff was very accommodating except during our breakfast where the staff started to move all the food before we were finishing eating."
Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees
"This hotel exceeded all our expectations as the room was super clean, (the whole hotel was as well), the breakfast was superb and the spa was fantastic. To boot, the location was awesome. All in, a fantastic experience and would highly recommend"
Hotel Lido La Perla Nera
"Nice hotel, located by the lake. Great location for boat trips to Borromean Islands. Spacious balcony looking towards the lake though the view was largely blocked by a tree! It has a small indoor pool. Breakfast staff were friendly."
Hotel Flora Adult Only
"Good solid hotel that was described perfectly by Hotels.com. The front desk staff could not be more helpful to guests traveling in a foreign country."
Regina Palace Hotel
"Very nice. Nothing wrong to highlight"
Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac
"-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."
Hotel Astoria
"Great place to stay!"
