We have stayed in Stresa several times but this was our first visit to the Astoria. From the moment we arrived we received excellent, friendly service.
The position on the lakefront is ideal, the lake view room with balcony was very well equipped and comfortably sized rather than large - although it was absolutely fine for two of us for a week.
The hotel facilities including pool and accompanying bar/snacks facility was very good.
We were only in a bed and breakfast basis, however the morning meal was of a high standard with good variety and range.
The outstanding feature throughout was the consistently friendly and effective customer service.
Overall the stay was very good value, especially when compared to other hotels on the lakefront.
We’ll certainly return to The Astoria when visiting Stresa in the future. Thank you and keep up the good work.

The location is perfect for getting around, perfectly central on thrmlake. That's it, the rest isn't worth it

It's amazing that there are so many old but fab hotels, even next door both sides and this hotel has just been ig ored by its owners or management to the point it is just a run down place to sleep, so much potential and ignored

The rooms are deab and dated, and tiny, if they were tiny and well appointed, you could forgive it bit they are just tiny and old fashioned. The bathroom with the plastic tiny shower was hard to get into, amenities only 'soap' and a shower gel,and those offensive environmentally unfriendly ones. Towels were rough and thin, not terry and not absorbant

An unattractive bed spread (really!) and a TV the size of a computer screen

Now let's go to breakfast

Ih dear, it was just a 'feeding' room, no service no style, VERY poor quality mass food, scrambled eggs from a packet mix,cheap ingredients/produce overall, juice from concentrate,cheap tea and coffee, poor variety, just a disgrace

If they upped their game, did a small but not costly renovation to make it more 'today', they could even charge more

The bar... only has ONE cheap brand vodka, ridiculous

Really, there is so much potential, but no one cares, walk past a staff member, sven the front desk, no one e en greets or acknowledges guests

So stuck in the past, it's sad

Lots of options, suggest shopping around
