Stayed in stresa at this wonderful hotel for a week in early June. This hotel exceeded my expectations as I was a little concerned about service having read some previous reviews. The service , in my opinion, was excellent particularly in the dining room. Well done to the waiters who were very friendly and efficient . The food was first... More

Stresa is a beautifulk place to spend a few days. I was there for a business conference, and the hotel was convenient for that purpose. Negatives would be that it is a bit old and needs brushing up a bit. I also wa snot happy with airconditioning ins ome meeting rooms. Other than that the food was good, however not... More

As part of a tour group we arrived at this hotel to find the reception and lounge area very beautiful. We were at the very back of the hotel which was quite a long walk from reception...okay for some but not for many of the elderly who were part of our group. There was a sideways elevator to transport people... More

We have stayed in this hotel for 3 nights for my birthday. The hotel is really beautiful and perfectly located. We've book a standart room with mountains view, which was half on the mountains, half on internal hotel yard. If you go for the same room, ask for a higher floor, we were on the 2d and its too low...

We spent a week at this hotel. When we arrived we found the room small and very warm . the food for a four star hotel was really poor. Our group had a choice of two courses fish or a meat course neither appealed. We were separated from the main dinning room even though the dinning room was half empty... More

I can only imagine that when the coach tours dry up that this hotel will disappear off the map. Why? The staff are miserable, the hotel lacks investment and believes that customer service is best served by charging guests for anything they possibly can? Is it because they believe that their location will always ensure business? If that is the... More

We spent a week at this hotel and enjoyed it. The hotel is very good indeed. Staff really helpful. The setting is wonderfully scenic and just a short walk to the ferry and into the centre of Stresa with its shops, wine-bars etc. We found the food was outstanding and dining room staff very attentive. The outdoor pool area looked... More

Grand hotel in the traditional style with excellent service from all the staff. Definitely worth upgrading to a room with a lake view - wonderful views of the Borromean Islands. Decor generally really grand and quite exotic in places. Very clean in both bedrooms and public areas. Good choice of food and varied menus for package customers. Pleasant promenade walk... More

This is a charming, huge hotel overlooking Lake Maggiore. There is a large outdoor swimming pool that looked inviting, but weather was a little cool. Our room had a balcony overlooking the back of hotel, but again to cold to sit outside inn evening. We had drinks & snacks sitting in the sunny porch area. Service from the bar was... More

Have been coming here for many years. It's a classic Stresa hotel. The rooms are of a high quality, & the staff very attentive. In high season they have some great jazz bands. I have never eaten here, so cannot comment on the quality of the food. On my last visit I was upgraded to a lake view room, and... More
