Stresa hotellit lähellä Stresa Ferry Terminal

Miinukset: Group occupying lounge space of residents

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: 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: 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: all was excellent

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Have stayed in many other Stresa Hotels ,this is the best by far..at a price

Miinukset: The rooms do not have tea & coffee

Plussat: Incredible view of the lake and mountains. Great locatio in Stressa. Absolutely one of the best in Italy.

Plussat: It was wonderful to experience a few days of grand "belle epoche" style. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we had a nice stay.

Miinukset: I wish the lighting in the bedrooms was better for reading. The bedside lights are not great for reading. Since it was raining for most of our stay, this was important.

Plussat: Our stay was wonderful! We were upgraded to a gorgeous room overlooking the lake, however, all the rooms looked superb. We were a very short walk to the city center and could see the islands on the lake from our balcony. The boats to the islands were also close by. The staff at the hotel were more than outstanding and when our car broke down they completely took charge and helped us get a new car. We had a great facial and massage in their lovely spa. I couldn't say enough about this great hotel. It was a fabulous and I can understand why Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in "Farewell to Arms". The perfect start to our Italian vacation.

Plussat: a truly "Grand" hotel, very spectacular museum-like design, full of artefacts and ambiance. Restaurant rather expensive but very good, staff helpful and efficient. Close to Stresa beaches, shops and restaurants

Miinukset: I think it is applicable to all the most expensive and renouned hotels on the Stresa promenade. Lake - facing rooms are exposed to the noise from the road (which isn't very busy, but an occasional bike makes quite a sound) and those garden-facing -a train which is not quite close but the noise reverberates from the mountains, so we chose to sleep with the door closed and the air conditioning switched on on the last day. These are however minor problems compared to the grandeur of the experience.

Miinukset: It's not the season to visit the beautiful lake place, so only one restaurant is open, and it is usually full booked at the weekend. And there aren't choices nearby. There is no room service for food. At bar there is no simple food. There is no water boiler in the room for whom need to enjoy a tea at room which is impossible.

Plussat: Nice building

Miinukset: Missing a coffee machine in the room...

Plussat: Todella mahtava hotelli! Aamupala oli täydellinen! Spa loistava!

Plussat: The view was good.

Miinukset: Very nasty, arrogant staff. Walls between rooms are thin wooden board, soundproofing is the worst I’ve ever encountered. When I asked the manager to ask a group to keep the noise down a little at midnight (shouting, television full on etc) he told me to phone the police if I was unhappy. Shocking.

Plussat: Beautiful building View of the lake The sunset The chandeliers The wellness grottos

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: spa was great

Miinukset: Restaurant had great service, but my wife's lasagna dinner was very disappointing, especially for the price; my beef was great!

Plussat: Sijainti loistava, upeat maisemat ja hyvä aamiainen järvelle katsellen ihan luksusta. Kylpyläosasto bonusta!

Miinukset: Henkilökunta oli töykeää, hyvin niukasti irtosi vastauksia mihinkään kysymyksiin ja yllättävän huono englanninkieli vastaanoton henkilökunnalla. Joka yö huoneeseen kuului naapurin televisiop todella selvästi seinän läpi.

Plussat: Wondefull Palace style hotel Excellent view location Parking facilities

Miinukset: No comments

Plussat: The decor is wonderful, location for the lake & town are excellent. I booked for October by mistake, but the reception staff were very understanding when we arrived a month earlier in September! They gave us one of the best rooms with big veranda, but one of our dogs got on to the stain glass room. It was a talking point of our stay!

Miinukset: The price was fair for the quirkiness, but the full price is quick high.

Plussat: This hotel is 1st Class!

Plussat: We enjoyed the location, the scenery, the people, and food of the area. The hotel was centrally located and open at the time we were visiting.

Plussat: The hotel has an unique and wonderful atmosphere. The room was very comfortable, clean and beauifully decorated. The staff (both in the reception and the staff in the restaurant) was extraordinary friendly and helpful. The food and service was excellent.

Miinukset: The spa facility had a sauna and steamroom which looked very nice but was unfortunately turned off for most of the time so was not able to use it - which is a shame as the spa is very nice. The pool was open though.

Plussat: Comfortable room.Good location.Attentive staff.A very good staging place to make day visit to other lakes.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Hotellin taso on erinomainen ja hotelli on todella laajalla alueella. Uima-allas sisällä ja ulkona oli plussaa.

Plussat: Hotelli on remontoitu pari vuotta sitten ja on erittäin upea. Ulkoaltaassa oli lämmin vesi, sisäallas olisi voinut olla lämpimämpi. Henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Huoneessa oleva ilmastointilaite olisi saanut puhaltaa viileämpää ilmaa, sillä huoneessamme oli kuuma

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siisti sauna ja uima-allas. Hyvä aamiainen. Upeat näkymät järven yli. Osa respan henkilökunnasta hyvin asiantuntevaa ja auttavaista.

Miinukset: Parveke oli likainen, myös parvekkeen tuolit. Saimme respasta väärää infoa polkupyörien vuokrauksesta.

Plussat: The rooms, the view! Service! One of the best service that our dog got. You should have seen how they cooked food for her!!! It was amazing!!! They yard was so beautiful!

Miinukset: SPA was very poor. Steam room was very weak. It’s almost cold inside. You can afford only one towel. They are telling you at the entrance to take only one towel.

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: Breakfast was great. Location is stunning with amazing views of Borromeo Islands and of sunset.

Miinukset: Islands are beautiful but absolutely nothing was open, not a coffee bar, not a restaurant, no gardens. Our trip on a private boat organised by the hotel (extra cost) was fun but the whole expedition was a bit melancholy with very few people and nowhere to eat/drink on the islands. The hotel was not organised in terms of giving ideas to guests on how to amuse themselves in these circumstances. We went to the next town ourselves (were advised against going right but did our own research) and found a lovely winding road that had spectacular views etc. We usually travel in the Winter but this was really deserted and we wouldn't return again at this time. Lago di Como for instance was much busier and more full of life during Winter.

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

Plussat: Everything in the hotel was perfect. The ambience of the hotel is luxurious but very welcoming. The staff were excellent in every aspect. Attentive, kind and helpful. Altogether a very special experience for us.

Miinukset: Nothing.

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: the luxury, the decor and the amazing views of lake maggiore

Miinukset: nothing i did not like.

Plussat: I liked the location of the hotel on the shore of Lake Maggiore with the view of the Borromean Islands front and center. The furnishings and finishes in the hotel were excellent. The staff was very courteous and helpful.

Miinukset: The bath was cramped although it included a toilet, bidet, double sinks, shower and jacuzzi tub. The room was not spacious either but the furnishings were very nice.

Plussat: I absolutely loved the view of Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori. It has the best view of any hotel in that region! Gorgeous!

Miinukset: Didn't eat breakfast in hotel...to expensive! I'm sure it was good though.It would be great if they offered a continental breakfast for lighter eaters that was included in the room price,

Plussat: Smart, professional staff and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Plussat: being welcomed by professionals; great assistance and service; wonderful food; comfort; spa-massages

Miinukset: swimming pool area too noisy due to nearby busy road, unfortunately this cannot be changed... They have a nice tennis court, but it is abandoned, a real pity.

Plussat: The hotel had a warm ,comfortable atmosphere and the staff were professional yet friendly.they accomodated our needs very well..nothing was too much trouble.dining room was excellent.room 105 stunning view

Miinukset: The swimming pool is outdoor,i cant remember noting that beforehand.there was some confusion with booking appointments for facials etc.we would have liked the courtesy car to have run more frequently at peak times but were happy that there was a service.these are very minor comments!

Plussat: The hotel decor was fabulous. The restaurant and bar staff very friendly.

Miinukset: The beds were a bit on the hard side.

Plussat: The care and attention of the dining room staff, the ambience, the excellent service of the shuttle bus drivers.

Miinukset: Rather poor pool service. I.E. they seemed to decide whether anyone would use the pool rather than the customer. We had to collect own mattresses and towels after exploring under hotel. The request to reception for help was answered by "immediately" which never came. Admittedly the weather was doubtful but still felt we should be able to use pool if we wanted too.

Plussat: Excellent, no problems at all.

Miinukset: Price could be lower for multiple nights.

Plussat: Excellent hotel staff and srevice all around.

Miinukset: Typical of Europe rooms were small,not like viewed on website.We did not get the class/level of rooms we paid for with no remedy from the hotel,this was a real dissappointment.

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: 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.

Plussat: Room with terrace and view on the lake and the mountains was superb. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Staff and decor are very classy and the hotel is 5 minutes from the railway station by taxi.

Miinukset: Everything was great. Stay too short.

Miinukset: The air conditioning was not on when we arrived and our room felt quite cold and damp. After speaking to the management, we were given a fire and the air conditioning was eventually turned on throughout the hotel

Plussat: The views were fantastic and was quiet and peaceful, the short walk to town made an enjoyable evening stroll

Plussat: Location to Stresa was good

Miinukset: The Matre de in the restaurant was a very arrogant man

Plussat: Good value for Money, nicely kept hotel and facilities

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli auttavainen ja ystävällinen. Rakennus kaipaisi uudistusta ja pintaremonttia. Äänieristys aika huono. Huikeat maisemat kattoterassilta!

Miinukset: Aamiainen ei ollut kovin runsas, ja hieman kankea (erikseen täytyi pyytää esim. kananmunat tms ja taas odotettiin 6 minuuttia...)

Plussat: Ystävällinen ja kiireetön ilmapiiri. Rauhallinen sijainti ja viihtyisät tilat. Ilmainen nettiyhteys aulassa. Hyvä aamupala.

Plussat: hotellissa hyvä pieni allasalue, aivan venesataman ja köysiradan ala-aseman vieressä. Lyhyt kävelymatka Stresan keskustaan.

Plussat: Huone erinomainen ja maisemat Lago Maggiore järvelle ja hotellin omalle uima-alllaspihalle kauniit. Sijainti noin 200m päässä laivarannasta. Ystävällinen palvelu, ilmainen parkkipaikka hotellin pihassa (parkkitilaa niukasti). Ravintola viihtyisästi osaksi katetulla piha-alueelle.

Plussat: Hotelli oli erittäin hyvä, siisti, hyvät näkymät järvelle 4.krs. Ravintolassa ei englantia oikein puhuttu.

Plussat: Location was very good, Parking was good and free, Staff was very helpful.

Miinukset: The food in the resturant could have been much better!

Plussat: Staff were great - many of whom spoke English. Room was large, airy, bright, very clean. Excellent location in Stresa, & easy to park car. They have a open air panoramic roof top - the view from there is stunning. The lobby area is great as there are a few different places to sit and each has different feel. Breakfast typical continental menu and nice. Great Hotel!

Miinukset: Our room had a balcony with a sideways view of the lake which was still OK, but not as nice as a full front-on view. But nothing else to complain about at all, and positive points far outweigh this one negative point. If booking, ask for full front facing view, and ask for room on 3rd or 4th floor - best place for good views. Some rooms on lower floors are overlooked and view restricted.

Plussat: They a gluten free stufs for breakfast :)

Miinukset: That was a shame the swimming pool was already close.

Plussat: Great staff. Comfy bed.

Miinukset: No a/c. Had to move to other side of hotel because room was too hot due to sun in the afternoon.

Plussat: Good location to cable car and boat trips

Plussat: Good hotel for a stop over on a tour of the Italian lakes - lively pool and gardens. Great choice at breakfast.

Miinukset: Dinner in the evening was only available to 8-00 in the evening and appeared to be scheduled for early diners who were mainly on coach tours.

Plussat: The room was big with double bed, a lovely balcony with partial lake view, a safe, a fridge, all the comforts. Clean bathroom with small shower sink bidet and hairdryer. The front desk staff, especially the man when I checked in and the lady when I checked out were so very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was good for an included meal. The location was perfect for train, ferry, even walk to downtown Stresa. The price was perfect, and I found standards were above other hotels on other lakes on my trip in the same budget.

Miinukset: I couldn't spend more time there. Also the hairdryer barely dries hair but this seems to be common in all the hotels.

Plussat: Confortable

Miinukset: Group tour type of hotel No much character

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen, kaunis näköala järvelle, erinomaiset pimennysverhot, tilava kylppäri ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Viihtyisä allasalue.

Miinukset: Junaradan äänet, kun ovi tai ikkuna auki.

Plussat: The staff wsa excellent and very welcoming. The room was big enough and had a balcony which was a nice surprise since we did not expect it.

Miinukset: The only downside was that the balcony overlooks a busy road and it was quite nosy when it was opened.

Plussat: It was our 25th wedding annerversary and the staff were fantastic.Close to the lake loacation was good as was access to mountain lift.

Miinukset: Busy road outside hotel.

Plussat: We liked the fact that there is a swimming pool. The rooms are simple but clean.

Miinukset: The hotel is very noisy, incl. during the night, because of a train track that passes behind the hotel. The service is bureaucratic. The breakfast food quality is very low (not a single fresh item). The rooms located at the mountain side benefit from the kitchen fumes all day long, which is a pity considering the nice balcony.

Plussat: Very helpful staff. An excellent pool with ample chairs etc. Easy to find. Good sized comfortable room with ample storage and a balcony.

Miinukset: Quite a long walk into town. Breakfast was poor quality with limited choice.

Plussat: Our room was so spacious and well appointed. A comfortable retreat after busy sightseeing.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti Stresan keskustaa nähden , hotellin henkilökunta avuliasta.

Miinukset: Kylppärin ammeen olisi voinut korvata suihkukaapilla tai edes asentaa verho ammeen vierustalle.

Plussat: Staff very helpful & friendly. Room - comfortable, attractive. Meals - delicious! Balcony- comfortable, scenic. Locations - close to sightseeing of the area's tourist attractions

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: The staff was very kind and they had private parking places( for free) for your car

Miinukset: the brackfast was a bit poor and yhe coffee terrible

Plussat: The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel was a good point for catching the ferries.

Plussat: very friendly staff

Plussat: The location, staff and service where great

Miinukset: The location

Plussat: everything nice, perfect location, good breakfast

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Loistava sijainti. Katolla iso patjo jossa oli mukavampaa kuin poolilla ( liian kuuma)

Miinukset: Alkas vähän vaatimaton mutta Maggiore korvaa sen.

Plussat: Competent, charming, well-run, old fashioned (that is a compliment) hotel in a comfortable, attractive, proper setting on the shore of Lago Maggiore in Stresa. I think a multigenerational family built, owns and operates it. Front desk very well run. Excellent advice from Concierge. Maids good. Rooms well disposed with good windows. Efficient, jolly, cheerful staff who worked well as a team. Neither fake-friendly nor snooty. They were perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Convenient to ferry and central for dinner

Plussat: It's central location and I had good room facing lake. The breakfast was good and free parking was also nice to have!

Miinukset: I think that the wall is quite thin. On my first night, I had a lot of noise from next door and could not sleep well. The facility is big out-dated and need some renovation!

Plussat: Aamiainen oli ihan hyvä ja Wifi toimi.

Miinukset: Huoneessa haisi tullessa voimakas pesuaine. Suihku oli todella pieni. Sivutalo ei ilmeisesti ollut samaa tasoa, kuin muu hotelli. Allasalueen baari ei ollut auki ja alue oli hieman hoitamattoman oloinen. Kuntosalille ei viitsinyt edes mennä, koska siellä ei oikein ollut painoja. Saunaa en löytänyt. Pysäköintitilaa oli pihassa vähän.

Plussat: Location and bathroom only

Miinukset: The rooms and furniture need urgent renovations for real the bed and bellows are really uncomfortable at all . Break fast is ok other than the location and bathroom everything need to change max star for this hotel is 3

Plussat: The hotel glory is in the past. As the hospitality business requires dedication, we did not see it. No way to see your stay and visit appreciated.

Plussat: Hotel Astoria overlooks the Lago Magiore. The room comfort and service fall short for 4*s.

Miinukset: The room comfort and service fall short for 4*s.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No shower, tub only. Will not return because of this issue.

Plussat: A beautiful hotel, very central, overlooking the lake. Excellent facilities and very helpful staff.

Plussat: The staff were helpful and friendly. Dining room staff exceptional. The room was well appointed.

Plussat: peace and clean

Miinukset: ´tomatoes and vegetables at morningpuffe
