Top Stresa Hotel Reviews
Regina Palace Hotel
"Fantastic hotel so beautiful"
Hotel e Residence La Luna Nel Porto
"Nice hotel with very nice staff. Good view of the lake and close to shops and restaurants. Hotel rooms are large but need upgrades unless 1960 decor and amenities are your style."
Hotel Royal
"The Royal is a classic vintage resort hotel in the classic vintage resort of Stresa. Nothing flashy, which I prefer. The front desk service goes above and beyond, which I needed because I didn’t check in the first night due to storms in Milan but got there early the next morning. The satisfactory breakfast is in a large, pleasant room open to the garden. The view from my room was very nice, out over trees and Lago Maggiore to the mountains. I had a balcony I wished I had more time to use. I liked the hardwood floors and Oriental rugs. It’s a little out of the center of town so requires a 15 minute walk to the center. But it is very quiet and there is a convenient ferry stop for the Borromeo Islands at the end of the road it is located on. I would return."
Hotel Lido La Perla Nera
"Great hotel with great links if you want to travel around the lake by boat...the ferry dock is about 2 minutes from the front door. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of food for breakfast. Also good that you can use the outdoor pool at a nearby hotel. One thing to be mindful of is that it is about 20 minutes walk to the main town centre of Stresa"
Hotel Elena
"The room had a lovely balcony and the location near the lake was perfect. The breakfast was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the stay. However, the top‑floor room became extremely hot during the summer, and without air conditioning it was quite challenging to stay comfortable."
Hotel Astoria
"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Special mention to all the staff at check in who were very kind & helpful! We had 2 rooms for our family of 4 which were ready before the check in time, spotlessly clean and spacious with amazing views & lovely balconies. The breakfast choice was plentiful, with a cold buffet or a hot choice, all of excellent quality and quantity. Special mention to the housekeeping staff who kept the rooms and the entire hotel wonderfully clean & tidy, discretely & quietly but always with a cheery hello! The location was beautiful and only a 10 minute stroll to the centre of Stresa where plenty of great restaurants can be found. Absolutely no faults, can not praise it enough & would highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel! This is our second time staying in The Astoria & it won’t be the last! Thank you to the whole team! "
Hotel Ristorante Fiorentino
"Great place to stay in Stresa. It's excellent but don't expect it to be like the Ritz. Within town center and 5mins walk to the ferry landing. However, it's a 15mins walk to the train station on cobblestone roads so pulling the suitcase was not as smooth. The A/C worked nicely and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very nice and welcoming. Enough time to hop on the ferry and visit other towns along Lake Maggiore."
Boutique Hotel Stresa
"Exceptional in all respects."
Hotel Della Torre
"Great location, easy to walk to everything you may need. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We loved our stay."
