Hotel Flora

Estuvimos alojadas en una habitación triple con LAS TRES CAMAS de igual calidad, circunstancia que pocas veces se encuentra en los hoteles. El personal de recepción fue muy amable y solícito a nuestras peticiones. La habitación disponía de un baño renovado, sencillo pero muy completo. La ducha era de plato con una presión de agua caliente muy buena. el desayuno incluía fruta fresca, tostadora, todo tipo de repostería, etc etc siendo el personal que nos atendía extraordinariamente amable y solícito. La señora de la limpieza de la habitación siempre se mostró muy atenta y colaboradora. La distancia al centro de Stresa es de unos 12 minutos que se hacen cómodamente andando. Recomendaría este hotel!!

A lovely hotel. Excellent staff all so friendly and helpful. Our room with lake view from one of two balconies was spacious and very comfortable. Swimming pool quiet. Always sun loungers available. Staff came out several times to ask if we wanted anything from the bar. Great choice of food at breakfast - hot and cold, sweet and savoury, love the walnut bread and fresh orange juice. A scenic 20 min walk into town, this may be too far for some especially if very hot. We couldn’t see a taxi rank in town. Had a great holiday thanks to Hotel Flora. Stresa and Lake Maggiore a beautiful part of the world.

Lovely hotel on the outskirts of Stresa. Staff could not have been more helpful. Special mention to William who did everything he could to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Great breakfast and great meal in the hotel restaurant. Look forward to coming back.

We have mixed feelings about this hotel. There are some things that were great (such as the view from the balcony and the friendly staff). However, we found the location was just a little too far from the Centre of town for people who do not have a car. Other travelers should note that it is a long walk into the main part of town with the restaurants. We were also staying at the hotel at the same time as a bus tour group and that was problematic. The hotel seemed to struggle with the numbers of people for breakfast and, as a consequence, we arrived for breakfast each day only to find all the hot food had gone and there was little sign that it was going to be replaced. We felt that this could have been better managed by the hotel.

I read some other reviews and really do not understand what people expect ..... This is a small and very reasonably priced hotel. But, yes, it is on o main road and so there is inevitably some traffic noise. So if you can, I would strongly advise booking a lake facing room at the back of the hotel. The staff are excellent, hard working, efficient and helpful. But yes, if you want a beer, you will probably need to ask the receptionist, but she will immediately serve you... We stayed a week and at the end were going to lake Orta for 3 days. The day before we left we decised to hire a car from the car hire ofice a 5 min walk away. As this was shut on a sunday. when we needed to return it and head to the airport from Stresa, Hotel Flora, with minimum fuss and at no charge, kindly allowed us to return the car to their carpark, hand in keys to their reception,,,,, and all this of course, 3 days after we had left the hotel. How helpful is that ? As well as being a 5 minute walk from the ferries, the train station is only a 10 min walk away, So as well as boat trips, we also took the train to Milan for a day and also to Domodossola another day, both of which I would recommend if you are in Stresa for some time. We never ate in the hotel as we enjoyed the 20 minute scenic walk into Stresa centre for dinner of an evening.

Only stated for one night but the hotel left a very positive impression on us, we had a lake view room which, whilst quite small, had an extremely comfortable bed and a large balcony with great views over to the island of Bella. The breakfast experience was very enjoyable, served in the large spacious dining area, with a good selection of produce on offer. Everywhere was spotlessly clean including the pleasant pool area which had plentiful loungers and parasols plus toilet facilities. There is some traffic noise particularly in the outdoor areas, but this didn't spoil our experience. Overall we would happily recommend Hotel Flora for a short stay in Stresa.
