The rooms are simple but spacious. Breakfasts are modest; you can only boil eggs. The public, free beach is nearby, a 3-minute walk away. It was very hot at the end of May, +30°C, and the air conditioning wasn't working. They couldn't fix it in 2 days. The hotel is mainly occupied by retirees.
To get to the center of Stresa, it's a 20-minute walk along a beautiful promenade.
The hotel is quite tired, has seen better times. Utug is given for a separate fee, refer to some order. Although nowhere else in Italy, this trip has not been the same.
The positive factors were three: the location, the Russian-speaking administrator, which helped us very much with his advice. Thanks to her separately!
And breakfast is very, very delicious!
We had an ok stay but this was the worst accomodation we had during a 1 month trip around Europe. The location is great as it’s very close to the train station and the lake. However, it was not a very comfortable stay for 3 main reasons:
1. The wifi didn’t work in our room
2. There was no hot water for a shower at night
3. Despite receiving email confirmation before arriving that we would have a double bed, our room had 2 old single beds that had been pushed together. These couldn’t be slept on as a double because: they were on unlockable casters, so easily moved on the tiled floor, the mattresses deeply sagged in the middle so there was a ridge on the edge of each of the mattresses, and, they were made up with single linen. In addition, we didn’t use the balcony we were looking forward to as it looked straight onto a construction site. So all in all, we were disappointed.
