Very well situated hotel just up the hill out of the main centre. The rooms were decent and worth requesting a lake view (for a supplement). The hair dryer was a bit useless. Breakfast was good with a reasonable selection. WiFi was a bit hit and miss.
The beds were huge and very comfortable.
The staff were very nice and spoke good English. There is a road right by the hotel but the noise wasn’t troublesome. The pool area did get a bit crowded in the early evening.

Welcoming staff who always greeted you with genuine hospitality. Wonderful cleanliness. Great value as the walk into main resort is approximately 12-15 mins BUT this is a stunningly beautiful promenade with the most picturesque views so for us this more than compensated for slightly out of resort but half price of other hotels in this pricey resort.
Wonderful partial lakeside view with window shutters providing excellent nights sleep. Breakfast adequate the best bit is the coffee and juice station.
We arrived via train from Milan so a short 8 min walk.
Loved the pool area and particularly cleanliness (you have to remove your shoes) and shady overhead sun beds.
Recommend booking ahead for evening restaurants in the centre. They are soooo busy.
Borromean island trip unforgettable for only €10 to visit 2 islands.
Highly recommend for a short stay to enjoy the beautiful resort.
Thanks to all the staff at the hotel you all work so hard.
This hotel is well located very near Lido, 15 min walk to centre. Has lovely outdoor pool with jacuzzi. Staff very friendly and very good breakfast. Air Con in bedrooms could be stronger. Rooms with lake or mountain views available. Very clean and well maintained
This hotel has a feeling of being stuck in the 1980's from the thin, threadbare carpet, to the in-room air-conditioning, to the hard bed and pillows. It was overall clean, but everything in the room seemed well past it prime for a refresh. We ended up in a lake-view room despite purposely not booking one (I had assumed - correctly - that it would be extremely noisy for sleeping). There is not a blackout curtain on the slider and myself and my child were woken up at 5:30 each morning with the sun shining directly in our eyes through the very thin, sheer curtains. The pool is nice, but the hours are fairly limited (only open until 18:30). Depending on what you are looking for the location is either good or not so good. It is far outside of the main town so much less busy than other hotels, but is close to the scenic Borromean Islands panoramic walk and a small port where there is one boat tour company and limited ferry service. We found the "long" way to walk into/out of town via the panoramic walk that avoided a long walk up a hill with no mid-day shade (the hill is not steep at all, but brutal in the sun with no breeze and 34C/93F temperatures). We opted for half-board since we were at the end of a long trip and wanted to not think about dinner. The food was average and not even include non-alcoholic drinks, but their wine list was good (if they had what you wanted). The buffet breakfast was extensive. I would not stay at this hotel again, but there are no red flags that should prevent someone from staying if this is the best option for your circumstance.
Had a good room overlooking the lake- view just stunning!
Good buffet breakfast, plenty of choice, friendly and helpful staff
The hotel is at only about 200m from the pier where you get the boat to the islands.
Nice walk into main town, about 20 mins and railway station is close to hotel.
Only complaints - pool, although lovely, didn't open until 10.00am and closed at 6.30pm - would have liked to be able to use earlier or later, and alcohol in bar quite expensive!
Stayed here for two nights as we wanted to visit the Borromean Islands on our way from Switzerland to Lake Como. We’ve stayed in Stresa before on numerous occasions but this was a first fir us at this hotel.
The location was perfect: we came from Lago d’Orta, and found the hotel without having to drive through Stresa. Then right across the street is a cobbled walkway that leads straight down to the boats for the Borromean Islands - less 200 meters.
We’d asked for a room on the lakeside, which was perfect. The 3rd and 4th floors especially have great views. We’d opted for the half-board option, which, although a very good deal, we might not do in future. The food was OK, but not top quality. We chose to eat there mainly because it was easier. The service, on the other hand - the friendliness of the staff - was top-notch!
