    Delightful Hotel on Lake Maggiore

    The location of this hotel was perfect for our group. Beside the elegance and helpfulness of the staff, the rooms were very nice AND the waitstaff were exceptional. We took breakfast and some dinner meals here and the staff were dressed in dinner jackets no matter what meal we took PLUS---the food was good.
    Pompous with too little to back it up.

    Classic 4* resting on its laurels. My room wasn't vacuumed in 4 days (see photos - plastic tag dropped by me on day 1, still in middle of floor on day 4) Manageress abrupt and verging on rude with a simple request which was easy to resolve. Evening receptionist eating his fish dinner at the reception desk (poor him). Horrible little soap tablet - mean and stingy. The sort of hotel where you can hear people peeing next door, above you, everywhere.. Breakfast - alright, but only alright. Longlife milk - why? Horrible, little, prepacked, mass-produced jam. Very average dinners (unforgivable in Italy!) This is a FOUR Star hotel for goodness' sake. Perhaps management need to travel a bit more to see some better examples of 4* hospitality. Naturally, there ARE worse examples, but that's no excuse. This hotel caters for groups. Cheaply. It's decorated with gold paint, fancy tassels, fake, impressionist paintings..it will satisfy people who are fooled by such "finery" and who don't understand how a 4* hotel CAN be. They'll continue to make money from group travellers but there's better than this. Staff, generally, were smiling and attentive but worked to the bone ..(apart from the cleaners!). Restaurant staff, in particular,were enthusiastic and very friendly. A mediocre,pompous/old-fashioned place which might well be lost without group travel. Some wonderful, friendly staff who would really excel in brighter surroundings.
    Wonderful Hotel!

    WE enjoyed a wonderful week here in September. It is a traditional Italian hotel in an excellent location. The lack of swimming pool and outdoor space is more than made up for with a pass to use the Regina Palace beautiful gardens and swimming pool next door but one.The interior is old Italian style and beautiful chandeliers etc.The staff are a fantastic asset to this hotel, cannot fault them for excellent and friendly service.All our meals were taken in the conservatory, which we were glad of , as the main dining area was a bit noisy at times. The food is superb and served at the table with flair and the sweet trolley is to die for! Thank you for a fab stay, we probably wont be back, as we prefer to explore other Islands and locations but we highly recommend Lake Maggiore area - its just fabulous and beautiful.
    Delightful Hotel in excellent location

    Just enjoyed a weeks stay half board on a TUI package.This is a typical delightful Italian Hotel in style and extremely friendly staff.Good continental breakfast and excellent dining in the restaurant.The Maitre De Raffa and waiters Natalia and Nicolo gave excellent professional and most friendly service . The view from the 5th floor bedroom is second to none with panoramic views over the lakes and mountains.The cobbled streets of Stresa are on the doorstep as well as the Ferry port.There is no doubt we will return.
    Great hotel great location great food

    This is a great hotel. It is on the main road along the lakeside in Stresa, and is only 2 minutes walk to the ferry terminal. It is right on the edge of the town centre with its shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. We had an excellent room with a lake view. Room 434. It has a "turret" window in the corner giving views in 3 directions. We were half board and had breakfast and dinner in the bright enclosed dining room at the front of the hotel. Breakfast is continental with cereals, fruit, different kinds of cheese, ham and salami, with excellent coffee. Dinner was from the daily menu but it has a wide range offered for each course with a menu of 5 items to choose from for both starter and main course. Dessert is served from the trolley with a wide choice available. The staff in the restaurant are briliant. Very welcoming and friendly. Head waiter Raffa, Natalia and Nicola were the main people who served us, all in a very friendly and efficient manner. The bar is a bit on the small and is no garden to sit in, but you can use the sister hotel Regina Palace gardens, only 150 meters along the road. This was our second visit to Stresa and staying at this hotel. We thouroughly recomment it.
