Very old hotel with rooms that were incredibly small and did not match the expectations we had after seeing the pictures. Upon check-in, we weren't given a wifi passcode or informed that breakfast was included with our room. Checkout was at 11am, and by 11:05am, the receptionist was knocking vigorously on our door, rudely telling us we had to leave immediately. For the record, everything was already packed, we just needed to close our suitcase. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel

Room was clean. The front desk person when we arrived was very disengaged and just gave us the key and told us are room was available and where to go with no other interaction, but later other clerks were helpful with maps and directions, breakfast hours and location, etc. Breakfast was good the first day when we were there when it started the second day we went an hour after opening and many items were empty . The staff were trying to refresh and refill items but we didn't have the time to wait for some items. Go early. Our lake view was only a small opening (about 5-10 degrees) between two buildings in the distance as were all other balcony rooms at this hotel.

Great place and nice hotel

The hotel was an excellent choice for a weekend trip to Stresa. The location is central and close to the beach, but not next to a busy road. An iron was not available and there is no experience with breakfast, but otherwise the service and accommodation are really smooth. You could park your car for an extra fee in the parking garage under the hotel, really easy!

First and last stay

This was not a waterfront hotel and certainly not worth what we paid. The breakfast coffee tasted like mud. The toilet was almost touching the bidet head to head so a struggle to use the toilet. The shower looked awful and difficult to use and put me off using it. The rest of the hotel was nice but not our room. No supermarkets around to buy water. The hotel charges 4 euros for water. The proximity to the lake and train station was excellent.
