I have arrived to Stresa by train from Milan, expecting to find a taxi easily at the train station. But there were none, and I decided to simply walk down to town and find the hotel there, since I knew it was right at the bank of Lago Maggiore. It was a very easy walk, despite two heavy bags, and... More

Stayed here for 3 nights for a work conference that was taking place in the conference suite behind the main hotel building. The hotel is very traditional, italianate rococo. Any surface that can be inlaid, has been inlaid. The lobby, when not richly carpetted is marble by the mile. My room - not one of the best - was still... More

It is a hotel with unbelievable waste of expensive materials: Eveything in this hotel from the switches to the mirrors and the bathrooms are of highest luxury. It is very clean, the view to the wonderful lake of Maggiore is excellent and the breakfast is of high quality. The lobbies, the reception etc are of high luxury. It is more... More

The hotel is covered in marketry – stone or wood – from floor to ceiling… so you have to like that. For the down sides, the outdoor pool is not heated and in May it still is rather cold. Speaking of the pool, it really needs some revamping. Looks like it hasn’t been renewed since the 60s. Indoor pool, on... More

Indifferent greeting at reception, room smelling of cigarettes, no one offering to carry bags, instant coffee at breakfast, all detracted from an extraordinarily lavish ambience and prime location. Should be better for the cost. More

Beautiful rooms, if a little bit small. On the main road, but sound insulation works perfectly. The pool isn't particularly attractive. Set in a beautiful garden. More

I used this hotel for a company event. It is very grand and traditional with cornices and statues and extravagent furnishings - not to everyone's taste but if this is what you like the hotel has plenty to offer, although such decorations take a lot of upkeep and this hotel could do with refreshing theirs a little. The event and... More

We arrived tired and jet lagged at the hotel after our flight from the United States and drive from Milan airport to Stresa. Despite our written confirmation and acceptance of the credit card deposit, the manager at the hotel claimed that they had no record of our reservation. The hotel personnel, reviewed it, acknowledged that it was from them but... More
