Hotel Royal

Bed comfortable. Excellent lake view from bedroom. Location,15 min lakeside walk to middle of Stresa. Plenty of free parking at the hotel.

Didn’t always have hot water when we wanted it was the main grievance. Food in the restaurant was expensive for what it was.

The location is good for the tour boats and the funicular but about a mile walk (along the beautiful lake) from oldtown Stresa's shopping and restaurants. The hotel had a rooftop viewing area that provided a great panorama of the lake and was a pleasant place for afternoon wine. The bed in the room was very good!

The shower was poorly constructed, leaked and got water everywhere. The hotel staff went overboard (no pun intended) to try to fix the shower problem but ultimately could not. The room safe did not work. I don't believe the staff should have rented this room until the shower was reconstructed properly. That said, the rest of the room was fine and we slept very well.

Lovely hotel overlooking Lake Maggiore. Our terrace was huge with great views. Breakfast choices were a little limited but OK. Very close to the ferry and cable car entrance.

The bathroom had a hand held shower with no way of fixing it overhead. No firm pillows. The hotel is a 30 min walk l from the old town where most restaurants are located.

Loved the general ambience of the hotel, the decor and the staff

Beds and pillows were too hard and it was a little distant from the centre, but these are minor distractions to the overall experience
