Excellent; small but neat and stylish, quiet

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 20, 2018via mobile
I'd stayed in Stresa before, but Verbania/Intra is a much more pleasant town on the Lake. La Contrada is right in the centre of the pedestrianised section so a walk (5mins), but worth it when you get there. Spotless, simple but stylish, in a classic modern Italian way, and although access is straight onto the boutique shopping / restaurant area, was quiet at night. I got a good late booking deal, so excellent value. Would rate it 5 star but the lack of close car parking and no lift if you had heavy bags are negatives. I liked La Contrada a lot.

We had a two night stay here during a weekend. The room wasn't overly spacious but was fine for our needs. It was clean and nicely furnished. The only problem we faced was that there's no lift and with a pram it was a bit awkward going up and down each time. We didn't have breakfast and so I can't comment on that. The staff were all extremely friendly.

We were a group of eleven; the husband met our bus with a trolley for much of our luggage (the hotel is in a pedestrian zone). Both husband and wife speak basic English. She reserved tables for us in nearby restaurants both evenings, and she gave us all the information we needed to visit the islands in Lake Maggiore. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was very nice, and the location was fantastic - right in the middle of a vibrant resort city, yet the neighborhood was quiet at night. We all enjoyed the visit.

Elegant and comfortable. Recommended for those who do not like noisy and croweded hotels. As soon as you step out you find yourself in the main shopping pedestrian street. The lady running the hotel is very nice and friendly. It's a good value.

I visited this lovely place with my wife for a few days. This hotel is excellent and outstanding value for money. First off, the location is perfect - right in the heart of town but away from the chaos. Second, the customer service is attentive and very polite. Graziano and Daniela were very welcoming and gave us lots of great tips on where to eat and what to visit around town. Third, the rooms! Our room was lovely, spacious and very clean. They were also well furnished and the bed was massive! Finally, the breakfast was brilliant with a wide selection of pastries and good coffee. An excellent place for a break.

Stayed here for 2 nights on business travel. The first thing that strike me was there was no elevator. If you have luggage, be prepared to drag it upstairs. Also, there is no parking. You cannot reach the hotel by car. No wi-fi in the rooms, wi fi only available at the reception, not in the room. So, even in the night, you need to go down to get wi fi connection. Breakfast was very poor for a three star hotel.No cheese, no cold cuts. The room is clean, but there is a moldy smell. I do not recommend this hotel if you are travelling on business.
