Stresa hotellia

Plussat: Wonderful place to stay- location is ideal. Service is excellent, and all the staff is very responsive! Would definitely stay there again.

Plussat: Waking up to THAT view.. overlooking the lake - what a lovely treat. Huge space and a luxury having two large bathrooms. Comfortable beds and a very warm welcome from Danni. Thank you

Miinukset: Leaving.

Plussat: Daniela is wonderful at communicating and providing suggestions, making arrangements, etc. extremely close to everything

Plussat: Hotel came highly recommended. It didn’t disappoint. The owners were delightful and very helpful. The view over Lake Maggiore from our terrace was spectacular.

Plussat: Vast amount of space, both in the rooms and on its terrace. Staff/Owner could not have been more helpful. Less than 5 minutes from the Ferry Terminal and all the restaurants. Superb.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful location. Welcoming and helpful hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: What not to like... perfect location, very clean and comfortable room, brilliant view, excellent breakfast and fantastic hospitality.

Plussat: What a great find! Absolutely everything was perfect! We would stay again for sure!

Plussat: Beautiful place on the shore of Lake Maggiore. The hotel is beautiful and may at times think that we have gone back in time.

Miinukset: In fact, the hotel staff is cruelly lacking in empathy for these guests and this is at the limit of arrogance. This feeling accompanied us throughout our stay including the check-out and is not the work of a single person but the result of a certain culture of the hotel. The current Spa space is ridiculous and it is high time to invest in a modern Spa, opening soon.

Plussat: Lovely location on the lake shore with a nice view.

Miinukset: Cooling had been turned off although it was still quite warm.

Plussat: The hotel was elegant and beautiful and in a prime location with wonderful views. It's a short walk from the town and the many shops and restaurants located there. The staff was very welcoming and treated the guests very well. This is clearly a high end hotel but the staff members were not condescending as they sometimes can be at high end locations. It was certainly one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at and we've traveled quite extensively. The restaurant was excellent and the Hemingway Bar is charming. Later in our trip we stayed at a very expensive hotel in Rome (we had points, otherwise we wouldn't/couldn't have stayed there) and we talked about how the Borromees Hotel was far more elegant and welcoming.

Miinukset: Tired of scrambled eggs every day

Plussat: Ruokavalioni on gluteeniton ja vähähiilihydraattinen, aamiaiseni oli mahtavan hyvä ja monipuolinen. Puitteet aamun ruokailuun ihana! Henkilökunta sulavan kohtelias, aamun avaus oli hienostuneen rento!

Miinukset: Ei ole mitään moitittavaa!

Plussat: Lovely hotel, but you need a car to get to the center. The staff is super proffesional and friendly.The room is nice (322) ,the bedding is very comfortable, sparkling clean , daily house keeping.The breakfast was good .Thanks for a very pleasant stay!We'll defenetly return.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Beautiful old hotel overlooking the lake. Amazing breakfast. Garden around the hotel is very pretty. Free parking. Great tips from the concierge. Staff was super helpful. Rooms were large and a great bathroom with a hottub feature.

Plussat: Wonderful location, delicious breakfasts, professional staff very professional and diligent.

Miinukset: Some of the staff was not very friendly

Plussat: Suberb breakfast, good trainingfacilities and spa. The service and food in the dinner restaurant was also excellent.

Miinukset: The pool outside closed during this autumn and the pool inside very small.

Plussat: Hotellin kuntosali oli normaaliin hotellitasoon verraten todella hyvä ja sisäuima-allas oli kivasti siinä heti vieressä. Asiakaspalvelu toimi hyvin ja huone oli todella siisti kuten muukin hotelli. Aamiainen oli hyvistä aineksista ja ihan monipuolinen. Hotellista on hyvin onnistuttu tekemään täysin moderni vaikka sisustus ja itse rakennus on säilytetty "vanhanaikaisena" tämä oli itselle positiivinen yllätys. Auton sai parkkihalliin ja autoille oli reilusti tilaa ja keskustaan oli lyhyt kävelymatka. Tässä hotellissa ei kyllä ollut mitään vikaa.

Miinukset: Ei ehditty käymään ulkouima-allasalueella, kun ei itse tarkistettu ajoissa sen aukioloaikoja. Mutta sekin oli viihtyisän oloinen ja ei kyllä oikeasti ole mitään huonoa sanottavaa tästä paikasta.

Plussat: Aristokraattinen, vanhan ajan hieno sisustus ja ilmapiiri.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Very grand.... The Hotel is absolutely beautiful, feels like a Palace. The view of the Lake from our room was outstanding. Really loved the Hotel....One of the nicest hotels we've stayed in.

Miinukset: The bed was not all that comfortable, but everything else was just GREAT...

Plussat: Small island, peaceful in the morning and the evening. Spacious room with balcony with a nice view. Great hotel staffs.

Plussat: Our room was spotless and had a wonderful balcony. The location and dinner at the restaurant were very good.

Plussat: The location is idyllic and so tranquil in the evenings.

Miinukset: Serving staff were dismissive and would not engage with the guests. Breakfast area and time disrupted by general cleaning of area daily.

Plussat: Breakfast was great, the room was rather small for the price but I guess we booked a bit last minute. otherwise, secluded hotel on the tiny island. Feels nice and special to remain on the island when everyone else leaves with the last boats.

Miinukset: Nothing bad related to the hotel! Hotel was great! There is really not much going on after 5pm, the cheaper restaurants/pizza places close and only expensive restaurants open upon reservation at 7pm (due to small number of tourists that remain on the island over night). For the 3 nights we stayed, we missed some more normally priced food.

Plussat: Amazing location and view from the room. I really suggest this hotel. The toilet had a bath without curtains on the side. Perhaps a different arrangement or a shower would have been a bit more practical

Plussat: very austere with soooo much going on everywhere in the hotel! It’s definitely not contemporary!

Miinukset: Hated the road being so close. Kelly says hat this should be made clearer to the guest before booking takes place. We had an amazing suite but really felt that the main road affected our experience in a negative way. Be prepared for a very chintzy experience!!!

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful with wonderful views. It is a pricey hotel but definitely worth the money - the staff are lovely, the food is great and we had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend this hotel and go back. It is not the largest but has a wonderfully Italian boutique feel and the spa facilities are excellent.

Miinukset: It's a little further from Stresa town than the other hotels but there is a hotel shuttle that runs to and from the hotel.

Plussat: Staff amazingly professional. Wonderful hospitality, best view and location. You feel like home around there. Great service . It’s was best experience.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff, owner, managers were all so warm and accommodating! the Most exceptional treatment of anywhere I’ve ever stayed!!!

Plussat: Everything! Absolute indulgence and the staff just can’t do enough for you. Our view was just incredible and we loved waking to it daily. The Grotto ... AMAZING and a must experience. I could not recommend this property high enough. We absolutely loved our 3 nights there and were sad to leave.

Miinukset: I honestly could not fault this property, the amenities or staff ... all perfect!!

Plussat: Reception staff were excellent, very helpful and made us very welcome ! Breakfast was amazing and again staff were very attentitive.

Miinukset: It was an amazing hotel , only minor problem was on two occasions no staff on the Spa desk and having to look for staff or hanging around waiting for towels and locker key. Also for a 5 star hotel they should have large towels instead of tiny ones !

Plussat: Excellent food and service

Miinukset: A bit of road noise

Miinukset: There were weddings at the hotel every night and it was very noisy till midnight. I traveled with my elderly mother and had find another hotel because of it. Also, the location is inconvenient. Far from everything.

Plussat: Nice looking rooms, nice bathroom, automatic shutters, balconies, nice food at the restaurant, good looking pool

Miinukset: The sweet part of the breakfast it’s not very nice, jams are “too industrial”, juices not of a good quality, and brioches as well, the salty part of the breakfast was fine. They charged more for our room due to the presence of our baby (13 months), without providing extra equipment, we had to spend 15€ per day for a travel cot. We asked for a kettle but wasn’t available. We were relegated in the most remote part of the dining room, in order to don’t disturb other guests. For 2 nights and a dinner (without wine) we spent 340€.

Plussat: Very good 3 star hotel. Our room had balcony with excellent lake views. Great breakfasts. Friendly staff. Car parking at no extra cost. Comfortable twenty minute walk to Stresa village centre along lakeside.

Plussat: Comfortable and well located. Suggest getting a lakeside room. Clean and quiet. Our room had a nice balcony with seating. View of lake and islands outstanding. Bathroom not sumptuous, but quite functional. Bed comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Coffee outstanding. Staff all quite friendly and helpful. Great value. Free parking was great.

Miinukset: It would be quite a hike back to town center.

Plussat: Brilliant location wonderfully clean, short walk from lake front and cable car.

Miinukset: Lack of current information about train strike and fireworks event which we would have attended if we’d known.

Plussat: The balcony view from our room, the food and the staff made our stay very enjoyable and the town of Stresa has an old world splendour.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Well-run hotel. Spotless spacious rooms with views of lake and Borromean Islands from terrace. Efficient and obliging staff. Very good breakfast.

Miinukset: Walls between rooms are a bit thin.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli loistava

Miinukset: Sijainti vähän kaukana keskustasta ja ylhäällä rannasta

Plussat: Huone ja kylpyhuone siistit ja kivat. Aamiainen ja illallinen erinomaisia. Illallinen hotellissa oli hyvä, koska kylän keskustan ravintoloihin kävelymatkaa - varsinkin, kun oli kova helle. Hillityn tyylikäs tarjoilu. Laivasatama Borromeon saarille lähellä. Uima-allasalueen ihan kelvollinen.

Miinukset: Pettymys oli näköala kadulle, vaikka luulin, että saisimme järvinäköalan, jota kaikki kehuivat.

Plussat: Super friendly staff. Great food.

Plussat: Location and the service of the hotel people.

Miinukset: Parking can be very difficult.

Plussat: Staff very friendly in this family run hotel. They keep the place spotless. Food, both at breakfast and evening is very good. On a small side street just off the main square so very centrally located. A really nice place to stay in Stresa. Never mind the big hotels - stay here!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A nice mid range hotel in central location and 15 minute walk to the station. Big bedroom with terrace and strong wifi. Bathroom could do with an update though was fine. Most impressed with staff- excellent English, friendly and helpful and seem to enjoy their work- including the efficient cleaning lady in the restaurant. We were able to have an early check in which was great as we could then easily go off exploring for the day. Breakfast varied and tasty.

Miinukset: All fine

Plussat: Very clean Excellent position Very nice staff

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The location was excellent, right in the middle of town, about 5 mins walk to the lake, The staff were very friendly and spoke good English. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a big balcony. Breakfast was very good also. Free parking available at the rear of the hotel

Miinukset: Nothing not to like. The onle thing to be aware of if arriving by car is that there is a market on a Friday and you can't park at the hotel on the Thursday night or most of Friday day. The owner showed me plenty of other free places to park during this time and had no problems

Plussat: Excellent location. Central for everything. 2 min walk from bus stop drop off point from Maspalensa airport. We had diner one night which was excellent and very reasonably priced compared to other places. Staff very friendly and helpful. If back in this area would stay here again. If

Plussat: Very central, easy parking, nice restaurant

Plussat: Lovely stay, the people were super friendly and spoke English really well. They helped us planning a visit to the islands in the lake and it was perfect. Room was spacious, so was the bathroom. Clean, comfortable, nothing special but very good stay right in the middle of Stresa. All around are cafes and restaurants.

Plussat: It is very well located, walking distance from restaurants, lake and port. Staff is adorable and very helpful. The building and the garden are charming.

Miinukset: The rooms are not comfortable. Beds are old. Windows are single-glazed so car noise woke us up at night

Plussat: Perfect place to stay for a few days.

Plussat: Lovely staff and beautiful gardens. Our Junior Room Suite was spacious and charmingly comfortable.

Miinukset: I am not a fan of Continental Style breakfasts. Some bainmarie’s with some hot food options would have been appreciated.

Plussat: Very pleasant stuff. Provide us maps and explanition on the area.

Miinukset: Old fashion style of the building

Plussat: The location of the hotel is perfect for visiting Stresa as it was only 5 minutes to all amenities. The breakfast was very nice, they topped up the food regularly, there was nothing hot but plenty of food available. The staff was extremely helpful and it made our holiday stress free. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: The noise from the trains did wake us up at first but we got used to it. The trains do not run very regularly and are not through the night.

Plussat: Hotellissa oli vanhan ajan henkeä ja ystävällinen palvelu. Huoneesta oli kaunis maisema järvelle. Vehreä puutarha ympäröi hotellia. Lyhyt kävelymatka sekä rautatieasemalle että kaupungin keskustaan.

Miinukset: Rata kulki heti hotellin takana, joten päivällä junan ääni kuului. Myös edessä olevalla tiellä oli aika ajoin vilkasta liikennettä. Yöllä oli hiljaista.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli oikein riittävä jopa kuohuviiniä tarjolla joka aamu.

Miinukset: Liikenteen melu oli varsin kovaa ja muutenkin hotellin ainakin guest-housen äänieristys oli huono.

Plussat: Great price...large single room! Very good breakfast and good coffee! Beautiful garden. Nice reception staff members and very helpful!!!

Plussat: Ihana parveke, puutarha ja henkilökunta

Plussat: This hotel exceeded all our expectations. Most enormous thank you to Florian & all the staff at Hotel Du Parc for making our short stay in Stresa feel like a real vacation- everything was superb.

Miinukset: If you're not accustomed to transport noises the (infrequent) train may bother you -we are from cities and barely noticed it though:)

Miinukset: junarata vieressä

Plussat: Great location on the island and hotel large room with lots of character with lovely old furniture. Great view from balcony.

Miinukset: Island rather full during day but not many people left after the last boat leaves. So worthwhile staying over night.

Plussat: Maria really nicely took care of us; the English breakfeast was exceptional!

Plussat: Location and the room.

Miinukset: Everything was very good.

Plussat: The view from the hotel over Lake Maggiore was exceptional, and whilst the island had its charms it seemed to be better to visit rather than stay.

Miinukset: You can’t judge the hotel without judging the island. The last public ferry was at 19:10 and after this time the only option was a (more expensive) private taxi boat. But returning at 19:10 presented its own difficulties as most of the bars, restaurants and virtually all the shops were closed at this time (even though it was only early September). On the first night we had a choice of just 3 restaurants, on the second 2. The restaurants were also more ‘high end’ and appeared to be catering for commercially organised groups on ‘island trips’. This was not ‘get away from it all quiet’ but simply ‘dead’. Essentially, once you were on the island you realised you really wanted to be back on the mainland with all the choice and general ‘buzz’ it offered.

Plussat: Amazing view on Isola Bella Palace. Staying there was a good way to enjoy the island at the end of the day when there is almost no one left.

Plussat: Ihana italialainen tunnelma. Tilavat, kauniit, siistit huoneet! Hyvä aamiainen.

Plussat: Viihtyisä hotelli hyvällä paikalla. Siisti pieni huone ja parveke, josta hieno näköala puutarhaan ja järvelle - maksoimme näköalasta extraa kirjautuessamme sisään, mikä kannatti! Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta. Uima-allas oli myös oikein mukava.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli hyvä, suolaisia ja makeita löytyi.

Miinukset: Kuuluvuus toisista huoneista oli huono juttu!

Plussat: Breakfast was good, wide selection, bright airy space, though facing the road so with associated noise.

Miinukset: On our first night we returned at 22.30 from dinner & fancied a nightcap the bar - it was closed although the night reception staff agreed to serve us a drink ‘as long as it was a simple beer or wine’. Went to room after to find was very hot & a/c seemed to be blowing hot air. Night reception staff said they’d try to reset and to try again after 10 mins. We turned it off & opened the windows to cool room as much as poss. After 10 mins tried a/c but was still hot. Night reception brought up mobile ‘swamp cooler’ & sent a man to set it up. He charged in in a very annoyed manner shouting that he was not God & how could we expect a/c to be fixed at nearly midnight. Why didn’t we just open the window? I told him we had just closed them again in order to retry a/c as recommended. I asked his name - Anton. He muttered on as he set up the machine. Night reception had told us no spare room but this guy chucked a key at me & said there was an empty room if I wanted to look. I couldn’t find the room & returned to our room where he seemed to have calmed down a little & machine was working (tho outlet pipes meant door & blind had to stay open) He then showed me alternative outside ground floor room - it had no a/c at all & again he said just leave door open. Not acceptable. Bad night sleep due to noisy machine & too light in am. In am I complained to reception staff about Anton only to be told he was the owner of the hotel. I was appalled. Reception staff offered another room that was not yet ready but we went to look. Tried the a/c, was blowing hot air. Told reception who went to check system only to find that someone had put the temp up! Once turned down all a/c worked. We stayed in room 205 but didn’t feel welcome nor particularly enjoyed our £140 per night stay. Pleased to leave. Hotel seems geared to coach/tour parties. Also only x 1 pillow per person provided. I asked for another.

Plussat: The property was about a 10 minute walk to the old town and a short walk to the railway station.

Miinukset: The breakfast was a little ordinary. We stayed for 4 nights, so had 4 breakfasts, and every day the scrambled eggs were a bit runny and not at all appealing. There was no variety with the hot food. It was just bacon and scrambled eggs every day. Most of the time the fruit was canned and not cut fresh fruit. Only one morning the fruit salad was fresh.

Plussat: Love staying here as the staff are friendly, the breakfast is good and it is close to the lake and city centre.

Plussat: Viihtyisä hotelli, hieno ja arvokas ilmapiiri.Erinomainen näkymä vuoristoon ja järvelle.

Plussat: The hotel was centrally located and an easy walk to the train station and to the sites of the town. The staff was very accommodating and helpful.I would recommend this hotel.
