My partner and I stayed here to attend a wedding in August 2011. The hotel was in a perfect situation, central to shops, restaurants and bars plus near everything including the 'beach'. Our room was spacious, clean and did overlook the lake albeit in the distance - a clever photo made the lake appear much closer. Only downside was that... More

What we loved: *The extremely central location, close to the centre and restaurants, and close to the parking/ *The spacious and clean room *The great light filled bathroom with plenty of warm water *The super friendly staff What we like a little less: *The somewhat outdated decoration of the room (it was very pink!) *The breakfast (it was ok but...

The hotel is situated in a quiet sidestreet near the lake front and beside good eating and drinking places. The staff are friendly and helpful, they mostly speak good English. Bedrooms and public rooms are very clean. Bedrooms are rather sparsely furnished but of good size and comfortable. There is adequate free parking on streets within 200 metres. There is... More

Great hotel, perfect location in the centre of town, not far from the harbour and main carpark, adorable multilingual staff, excellent food, we had the chef's set menu every evening in the gazebo outside. Superb value for money! Can warmly recommend it.

Upon arrival, we were told that we had to stay at the nearby Hotel Astoria for our first night and then move our belongings back to Hotel Moderno for our second night. We were not happy with this arrangement. However, I must say that both hotels were very nice. Hotel Astoria had a beautiful pool and Hotel Moderno picked us... More

Hotel Moderno is a real gem . . . relatively inexpensive for such a famous and popular tourist destination. The rooms are spacious. The staff is friendly and helpful! The breakfast has great variety, and one can "brew" ones' own cappuccino, which is a treat, especially if one wants a second cup before facing another challenging "tourist day." Thank you... More

Understated elegance just steps from Lake Maggiore. I stayed in Room 404, a very spacious room with a large private balcony with a partial view of the lake, a historic church bell tower, mountains, and Stresa rooftops. Moderno is less expensive than other hotels in the area but rooms are large and kept immaculately clean. Simple but very tasteful furnishings.... More

This hotel is situated just behind the church which is standing in front of the Lago Maggiore. In a small street (you cannot access with the car), close to restaurants, shops and the lake. For the rooms giving on the street in front of the hotel, I suggest you sleep with closed windows (they are double glazing) as the little... More

Room was very large, simply furnished but a bright room and sparkling clean, with a large well fitted marble bathroom. We had a small balcony overlooking the town square. No noise from this square as it was mostly pedestrian. I would have liked chairs in the bedroom and a bigger tv as I like to keep up with the news.... More
