Pros:

Older hotel with much charm in excellent location. Fantastic breakfast. Owner went out of her way to make us comfortable. For example, she packed us a special breakfast on our last day when we had to leave early. Room was very plain, but clean. The important things such as shower pressure and temperature were all very good.

Emplacement et qualité de l accueil
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé au centre de Stresa.Il est près de la gare, il permet l accès au bus pour aller au lac d Orta, et bien sûr de l embarcadère pour les 3 îles.
La simplicité de l hôtel est largement compensée par l accueil du personnel d une gentillesse remarquable.

Pros:

Hôtel très bien placé en plein centre de la ville de Stresa. Attention cependant, les chambres ne disposent pas de climatisation mais uniquement de ventilateurs...et il peut faire très chaud!
Bon petit dejeuner

Great hotel!
Pros:

Really lovely place - very flexible and accommodating. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Lovely dated decor and right next to everything.

We missed breakfast but they offered us coffee and a croissant on the house. We appreciated this kind touch, as we were quite hungover! All the staff were friendly and lovely. Grazie Mille!

Pros:

Lief, knus, maar eenvoudig hotel.
Toplocatie midden in het centrum met alle winkeltjes en restaurants.
Wij hadden die familiekamer. Klein en eenvoudig, maar ook schoon en netjes. Gezellig uitzicht vanaf het balkon.

Pros:

Super petit déjeuner (fruits, jus, gâteaux maisons, succulentes charcuteries, tres bon pain viennoiseries, etc.) avec un excellent Cappuccino. Patronne sympathique et attentionnée. Facile de se garer gratos pas très loin de l'hôtel. Bonne literie. Ascenseur. Pas de bruits de chiens durant la nuit. Frigo dans la chambre. Un seul bemol : les persiennes laissent passer la lumière. Un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour ma part !!!
Rappel : les îles Borromées sont à visiter sous le soleil, sinon pas la peine.
