About the location
Holidays in Stresa take you to one of the prettiest locations in the
Italian Lakes, with the elegant town perched on the western shore of Lake Maggiore where soaring mountains form a photogenic backdrop.
Stresa has been here for at least a thousand years and the town is peppered with historic buildings, from medieval churches to Renaissance villas. Its cobbled streets are full of pavement cafés and boutique shops, while the surrounding area is renowned for its opulent lakeside palaces and ornamental gardens.
The town is a handy hopping-on point for many ferries and boat trips which sail up and down Lake Maggiore, offering a relaxing way to enjoy the scenery and visit the other towns and villages around this 65km-long lake. For panoramic views of Lake Maggiore and the mountain peaks beyond, Stresa’s cable car climbs from the lakeside to the top of Mount Mottarone, taking you nearly 1,300 metres above the town.

We initially booked with Hotel Lido but upon arriving it was empty, doors locked and vegetation a little over grown. I thought it was eerie at first. There was a sign on the door to contact someone at the Astoria Hotel, which I didn't see at first because I was so confused and upset. I was about to ring the door bell until a wonderful, beautiful, kind and friendly lady opened the door. She didn't speak English at all and I know very little Italian but we both used "the universal" gestures, which got us along very well. She called the phone number from her cell and got in touch with the person who spoke English and he tells us to go to him at the Astoria Hotel explaining where he was. Once there he explained everything. He was also kind and to the point wasting no time for us to settle in and get us going with our vacation. The room was very clean, smelled clean, very nice interior design (love the electric shutters) and we were close to the rooftop with a beautiful open view whenever we wanted. We used the table and chairs to have an after dinner drink and unwind from a days adventure on the hop-on-hop-off boats to the islands on the lake. The hotel has a very beautiful stroll along the lake to get to the boats and not far at all. They also have the jacuzzi, sunbathing lounges, table tennis up on the roof as well. The staff in the restaurant work very well together, they are kind and friendly and take their job serious in making sure the guests are happy. Very well done! BRAVO! EXCELLENTE! PERFECT!

I suppose this review should take the form of an apology. We are sorry we mentioned our fridge was not working. We are sorry we mentioned our air conditioning was not working. We are sorry we mentioned our hair drier was faulty. We are sorry we mentioned our bathroom ventilation was not working. We are sorry we complained our towels had not been changed in four days. We are so sorry you were upset and said we complain too much.After all you pointed out you are only a four star hotel and simply not up to our standards.
It won???t happen again.

Location is excellent, and the room very clean. Those are the two good things about this hotel. My expectations may have been too high, as I was overall disappointed.
We had a double with lake view on the second floor. The room and balcony quite small, and the TV was tiny. WiFi did not work for the two nights we stayed, and the AC was quite loud, although if you put it on the lowest setting it was bearable. Bathroom and shower good, but again, quite a tight fit.
Balcony, small, but with a great view. Only problem is that it was not possible to sit on the balcony in the evening. The hotel is light up in the evenings with industrial style flood lights, and if you are on a lower floor then it is like a great ball of light shining in your eyes. We actually sat on the balcony, with a glass of wine, but had to turn our backs to the lake, because the light would blind us. Service was acceptable, but not great. Breakfast OK.
Would I stay again? No.

Being greeted by Adi the Concierge, who took our cases, helped park our car for us, checked us in to our room personally, with a smile and genuine warmth was the start of 3 delightful days in this lovely hotel.
Fresh flowers adorn every corner, spotless rooms, lovely breakfast and very friendly waiters, professional and knowledgeable receptionists, perfect location, every need was met.
If returning, I would definitely stay again, and the sea view upgrade was worth every penny.
Thanks to all, especially, Carlo and Adi.

I really didn???t know what to expect nor have any preconceived ideas about the Astoria Hotel. Well, upon my arrival I was quickly greeted by the very friendly staff ??? Mark! The porter was especially friendly and went out of his way to help out and show my room. I had arrived early in the day. Most hotels shoo you away until 3PM. Not here. They offered to let me have a coffee and breakfast, plus took me to my room. Very nice! The room was very clean (very important to me!). My rest was good..although my taste is for a bit softer bed..no worries, the environs let me rest soundly. I enjoyed the breakfast fare and hot coffee ??? Thank you! The floor staff provided some laundry and pressing services for me, again by the porter and very nice staff on the 2nd floor ??? Thank you!
My only regret, was that I had to leave..
Thank you, Astoria Hotel!
