Good location on one of the towns small squares with short walk to the lake.The owners are very friendly and helpful ,and the hotel had all the amenities we required.

Great location, friendly staff. Basic room, very hard mattress and pillows were not comfortable. Right next the the central pizza so very noisy until late at night.

Booked for bank holiday weekend, Friday to Monday, with my two grown up children, in a family room. We have visited Stresa for about 15yrs, and have in the past stayed in the luxury hotels along the lakefront, and apartments, but I can honestly say we loved this little hotel! It felt warm, friendly, and is right in the central square. The staff and owners are so friendly and helpful. We had a completely relaxed and happy break, and we will definitely return to this little gem.

We loved it!!

Beds were hard and old. Very noisy during the dayHostess was kind enough to pack a breakfast bag for us, as we had a very early flight

Rated a one star hotel, I would give it a 2 plus. It is a value deal for the price.

Overall very good. Small room but clean and quite comfortable. Shower is poor however. Staff were pleasant. I would be happy to stay again if shower could be imptoved.

A small place in a great area. Very basic hotel with character. We had a larger room with 3 beds which gave us plenty of space for suitcases, with a balcony overlooking the square. It was close to everything. laura the owner was very helpful and went over and above. Was a lovely stay :)

The hotel is located right on the square in the centre of Stresa, the staff looked after us and told us the best place to park breakfast was okay all told a nice friendly place to stay.

Basic hotel right on central square of the town . Nice hosts and a good breakfast ..

Good location. Breakfast was good. The room was spacious. Wifi worked well.

Loved staying at Elena - balcony overlooking town square and mountains, sounds of buskers and crowds. Convenient to lakeside and everything in town

Small hotel centrally located at a main Plaza. Walking distance to everywhere. Good breakfast. Receptionist speaks English. No A/C, ceiling fan. All together cute place

a welcome return

Hotel is cute, well cared for if a bit dated; tasty breakfast. Customers loud talking/shouting and music at Bar Elena-opposite the hotel--made peaceful sleep challenging. skip this place if you are a light sleeper or value your rest.

Small hotel in the hart of the city. Was very nice stay .Be awarefor car parking nearby the hotel, need to walk for 100 meter

The Elena is an unpretentious hotel supplying an excellent place to rest. The Elena is scrupulously clean and peacefully quiet with an attentively understated, outstanding level of service. Thus the Elena fulfilled precisely what I was looking for in a hotel at an attractive price. I am not well versed in the hotel star rating system (I am constantly shocked at the poor performance of most five stars that nightly charge for a single night what costs a week at the Elena). I am a light sleeper so quiet comfort are valued above all. For me, the Elena earns five stars. The room is very basic - the beds were firm as is my preference, had a nice balcony facing away from the Piazza (quiet residential), ample closet storage. The internet performed well and consistently. The shower/toilet is compact but performed well. The breakfast included great coffee and fresh bakery goods, yogurt and fruit and juice. There is no concierge lurking in an oversized lobby, no pool or work out gym. If you need these, the Elena is not for you. Here the proprietor is quietly efficient in all the billing, local points and recommendations personalized for you should you need them - totally unobtrusive. Yet if you need to leave before dawn, she was there to offer me my regular doppio espresso and the morning's fresh, warm brioche to prepare me for my day. The Elena is well located on a major pedestrian only Piazza Generale Luigi Cadorna. I stayed a week and the consistency fulfilled my expectations.

Very friendly welcome, situated right in the heart of Stresa, helpful friendly staff, very clean, our room a bit dated but served it purpose. Quiet at night despite overlooking the main square. Good basic breakfast, juice,rolls,cheese & meat,fruit, yogurt etc. Would I return? Love too!!!!

This small hotel is in a great location in the centre of Stresa. On arrival the staff were friendly and helpful and were lovely throughout my stay. The hotel is simple and basic but has everything you need for a short stay at a good price. The room was cleaned daily and whilst small was very comfortable. It had a small balcony with a view of the hills and was quiet. The bathroom was clean and modern and had a good powerful shower. The room had a safe, fridge and ceiling fan. TV was only Italian channels. The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. Breakfast was simple but adequate with good coffee. The hotel also has a public bar. There were no mosquitoes!
