Disappointment.

Location and balcony was very good, it saved our stay! If not that I guess we would change the hotel!

It was very outdated. Fridge was dirty and leaking, disgusting. Shampoo was used with hair on it. Staff wasn’t very welcoming. At the bar where is entrance people were smoking. Poor breakfast.

5.0 / 10.0

Very central (with the noises of the underneath piazza) but very very dirty!

Excellent location, very central, close to the public parking and the lake. Be informed that there is a busy piazza underneath.

The room was very very dusty. We were travelling with our two toddlers and the only thing we wanted was a clean room but it was not. The toilet was used and not clean and the room was full of dust. The curtains used to be white in the past, but now they are grey. The room has not been properly cleaned for months. When i showed the owner the toilet she agreed that is not clean and send someone to clean it, when we left for a walk. But finally only the toilette was cleaned (i also sprayed with Dettol afterwards), the thick layer of dust remained on all the surfaces (on the fridge, on the desk, on the TV, on the windows). Also we realized that on one of the single beds that the kids were supposed to sleep, the sheets has stains of moisture. The elevator has no light and the room is very hot with only a ceiling fan.

Traditional italian in great location.

Hotel Elena was a great stop off in Stresa. Laura manages the place smoothly and efficiently. Good communication and a lovely breakfast. Was able to leave luggage as arrived before check in. For the price it was a bargain. Highly recommend. Great location on a lively piazza - great for people watching from the balcony. Noise level quietens after 2200. Only 3 min walk to ferry to access all towns on the lake. https://www.navigazionelaghi.it/biglietti-e-orari-lago-maggiore/ to easily book online tickets or get at the ferry terminal. 3 min walk to bus to Lake Orta. 10 min walk to train station.

Old style hotel, good for families.

Very spacious rooms, ideal for a family of 4 with little kids. Central location Very friendly staff Decent Italian breakfast. Nice balcony on the pedestrian square.

The style of the hotel is stuck in the 80s. You should replace the old sheets and blankets with new duvets. Little bathroom but can't do much about that.

8.0 / 10.0

It luckily suited us

Location looks over main Stresa Piazza with much to see all day. Excellent position, central & close to all. Excellent & very healthy breakfast daily sourced from local foods as I asked the hostess. Food lovely,good all cotton sheets in non air-con hotel, price reflects no air-con & can assure can whip up Aperol Spritz in seconds for 7e. any time of day. Felt price reflected the offering very well. A little underwhelmed by Sybil as we christened the owner, as she reminded us of Sybil in Fawlty Towers so we had fun thinking of her as Sybil as only the English can & she was so like Sybil in Fawlty TV show. To Owner, of Hotel Elena, please don't be offended but you never offered us your name to address you.

Nothing for the price.

Unstressed in Stresa

The location to the main piazza as well as to the lake, the delicious breakfast and the assistance of the staff with places to eat at and calling taxis, etc .

Perhaps the mattress could be updated.

Good location, a lift. mattress not good. Dirt in places

The location is in the main square, but my back room was nice and quiet. Very central location and 2 minutes walk from the ferry terminal. The owner was kind and helpful. The sheets and pillow cases were nice and clean. Fridge in room.

The blanket was dirty all round the edging and the bedspread had a fair few old stains. Both need updating. The pillows and mattress were uncomfortable. There was a fair bit of dust on th phone and on some surfaces. Not a huge deal, but could be cleaner.

Charming old school hotel

We loved this Hotel, our huge room had a balcony overlooking the main square in Stresa and would have been quite grand back in the day. The whole place was spotless and the staff were very welcoming, particularly the owner, she even baked cake!

At this price nothing, we will stay again next time we are in Stresa.

Very good

Location is very convenient, especially if one is without a car, and breakfast was excellent.

Walls are too thin and we could hear the news on TV at 6.30 in the morning from the neighboring room. Understandable since the building is old, just unfortunate.

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

Located right at the central square of the town, which is super convenient but undoubtedly can be noisy. The host offered me a room facing the backyard which is much quieter and also has a nice little balcony (could be very warm in summer mornings so one should only lift up the blinders in the afternoon/evening). There is no air-con in the room but the fan does the job. The facilities are basic but functioning well. The room has everything I needed including free bottles of water in a mini fridge, which is a blessing in hot summer. It's a family-owned little hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall great value for money.

Hotel with excellent location and friendly staff.

Excellent location - right in the center of Stresa. The breakfast is excellent with good selection. The staff is helpful and friendly. The ceiling fan does a good job during warm nights. You can leave your car in the large parking lot overnight at the port (about 100m from the hotel), but you pay during the day.

The street is noisy during the night before midnight. There is no free parking close to the hotel but parking is not bad in Stresa. Be aware that the free parking at Piazza Capucci is closed between 6AM and 2PM on Fridays due to the market there.
