Mir gefiel gut, dass ich immer einen Ansprechpartner hatte, wenn es um Fragen in und rund um Stresa ging.

Kleines familliär geführtes Hotel in der Altstadt. Für italinienische Verhältnise sehr gutes Frühstücksangebot (Ortstypischer Käse, Schinken, Obst, hausgemachte Kuchen. Alles täglich wekchselnd). Hervorragender Cappucino und Grüner Tee im Angebot. Am Buffet keine Selbstbedienung, man wird nach den eigenen Wünschen bedient. Wer mehr möchte fragt einfach nach. Am Abreisetag konnten wir nicht Frühstücken. Es wurde uns Verpflegung (wir wollten Obst) mitgegeben. Bar im Entrée vorhanden (z. B. 0,5 l Wasser 1,50 €). Moderner Aufzug. Täglicher Zimmerservice. Hervorragende Lage zum Hafen von dem die Schiffe zu den Inseln, den Nachbarorten und nach Locarno (Schweiz) abfahren. Wir sind mit dem Zug angereist (ca 15 Minuten zum Bahnhof). Wir empfehlen die "Centovalli alias Lago Maggiore-Express" Rundfahrt zu machen. Es geht (bis Domodossola mit Trenitalia) mit einem Schweizer Gebirgs-Zug über durch die Berge nach Locarno. Von dort fährt man nachmittags mit´dem Schiff zurück durch den kompletten lago nach Stresa. Pauschal-Tickets im Reisebüro z. Zt. für 38 € pro Person. HZu Spitzenzeiten ist die Zugreservierung für 10 €/P. empfohlen.

Mittwochs, Freitags und Samstags laute Musik bis 22:30 Uhr im Ortskern (Dazu kann das Hotel nichts, daher kein Bewertungs-Abzug). Durch die engen Gassen ist das überall zu hören. Wir haben daher die Fenster erst nachts wieder geöffnet. Für empfindliche empfehlen wir Ohrenstöpsel. Wir haben keine Rauchmelder im Zimmer entdeckt. Bitte nachrüsten!

I liked the location of the hotel near the lake. The person in charge of the hotel and his son are very kind, always smiling, and always rushing to serve. I also liked that there is a bidet in the toilet for washing.

Need more ventilation in the room..

Location and staff

no complaints

Quirky property in the historical centre of Stresa so just steps away from the lake, shops and restaurants. Very engaging and helpful owner, nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing

The location was great. Everything in walking distance and free parking was just 3 min from hotel. We had a great an friendly welcome from the host.

This is an affordable hotel, yet close to everything in Stresa (ferry services on the lake and center of town)

I had the worst experience ever with the employee at the reception. Following some travel delays I checked in at 11:00 pm. The door was closed and I rang the bell. I was received by the most disrespectful employee I have ever seen at the front desk of a hotel (and I count by thousands my hotel stays). I must have woken him up, but still... There was no indication whatsoever in the reservation that there was not 24 hour check-in. While I was still at the door with my carry-on in hand, he blurted out that they were not expecting me anymore, and that I was required that I called to announce my "late" arrival (again, I doubled checked the reservation and there was not an indication). Without waiting for my response, he said that if it was the first time I've ever been in a hotel, not knowing those things. I had very early travel the following morning, with a taxi driver waiting before 6:00 am. I was so troubled by the reception that I failed to communicate my check-out plans. After the experience the night before, I did not dare to ring the bell and wake up the guy again. Since pre-payment was indicated in the booking reservation, I left quietly, as payment had been settled. I was getting to the main street to catch my ride, when I see the guy running after me, and criticizing my attitude. From previous reviews, this seems a nice family-run hotel, with caring and helpful owners. This employee (heavy-built, covered in tattoos, Northern European accent) definitely does a disservice to their business.
