The hotel offers a wonderful view from its small balconies but lacks sufficient storage space in its tiny rooms. The service was friendly and helpful, although some room options were not properly presented. The location, right on the waterfront of Stresa with panoramic views over Lake Maggiore, was terrific. The dining experience, while included in the room rate, had some drawbacks with limited options. Overall, a mixed experience with notable positive and negative aspects.

I stayed at this hotel which had some pros like a great location near the city center and beautiful promenade walks but sadly, the rooms urgently need renovations as they were small, had uncomfortable furniture, and poor toiletries. Additionally, the breakfast was modest. However, the staff was friendly and helpful.
