We had wonderful 6 nights at La Locanda and loved everything about it. Where shall I start? The staff that will go an extra mile to help you out, the location in a quiet, green, shady street yet close to the port, the station and the lake promenade, the best (and cheapest) coffee in town, a large terrace with a view of the mountains, 3 nice local restaurants in the neighbourhood... The rooms were cleaned every day. The Alpine-style breakfast and reception area were really charming. The breakfast was good in quality and quantity, though I missed eggs for a week. :-)

Sadly the shower was rather small and the pillows were as hard as stone.

A delightful, low key hotel based on the outskirts of Stressa. About 15-20 minute walk along the very pretty promenade to the heart of town and boat piers. Close enough to Stressa train station to walk if you are arriving that way. We had a car and parked at the hotel for a daily fee. I stayed here for a long weekend in September with my wife. We were given a first floor apartment which had a private bathroom /shower and a lovely balcony that partially overlooked the Motterone hillside. The room was spotlessly clean, made up every day, comfy large bed, shower was always hot, free WIFI, TV (Not used). No air conditioning but a fan was provided. Buffet breakfast was fine. Staff were friendly and helpful. It will be my first choice again when next visiting.

Nothing really, lovely Hotel at a very reasonable price.

The personnel was very nice and friendly and the breakfast was good with a big, warm croissaint and buns, cheese, juice etc. from the buffet. It was located near the port where you can take a boat to the Borromean islands and from the port there is a nice walk by the lake to the center of Stresa for about 20 minutes.

I liked everything.

Great value. Lovely room, cleaned each day. Nice balcony and views from our room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Short walk to town and station. Very convenient for interailing!

A little noisy due to proximity to main road, although hotel itself is on a nice quiet side street. There is no footpath on road to station or supermarket.

Cozy and quiet little hotel, with a very friendly staff. Only 5 minutes walking to one of the ferry stations to explore the Borromee Islands.

The bathroom and especially the shower was quite small. Breakfast options were ok if you have no dietary restrictions, but a bit more variety in bread could have been nice.

Excellent breakfast, including cereals, yogurts, fruit juices, croissants, bread rolls, meats, cheese, jams, pastries, cake, fruit and choice of beverages in a pleasant dining room. The hotel was in a quiet location a short distance from the train station, boats to Isola Bella and 20 minutes walk from the centre of Stresa.

Our bedroom was OK but could have done with some modernisation.

The hotel is very close to the station and in less than 10 minutes you can walk to the centre and ferry terminals. The room is exceptionally large and very comfortable, the bathroom is modern and very clean. The Italian breakfast was generous, very pleasant staff

There was nothing not to like

The staff was very helpful and kind. Our room was very nice with a balcony and a comfortable bed. It was very clean and the breakfast felt nice and fresh.

The only down side is that the cleaning personal came very early so it was hard to have a sleep in after 8:30

Very clean, centrally located. Staff very helpful and friendly. Comfortable beds. Made up every day and towels changed daily. Good breakfast . Although no air conditioning we had a fan which kept us cool.

Nothing

Very homely small hotel. For a single room there was plenty of space and a decent sized bathroom. I enjoyed having a balcony with seating. The staff were very helpful and approachable. Breakfast had a good choice. Well situated for the ferry stop and local bus stop.

Nothing really.
