We have just spent 5 days in this hotel, arriving here by coach. The hotel is lovely, rooms are roomy and spotless. However food given to us was very poor, we were treated like inferior guests, and several ate meals other than at the hotel. If this is the service provided to coach parties then I would not recommend this... more

Just returned from a coach-tour holiday to this hotel where we were made to feel like second-class citizens. The hotel itself is well-appointed in an excellent position, the bedrooms and public facilities are good but the food was simply pathetic! Meals were taken away from the rest of the guests who enjoyed eating alfresco in the terrace restaurant and were... more

Hotel Royal is in a good position away from the crowds, an easy, and mostly lakeside walk into stresa, and only minutes from the ferry station or the cable car booking office. The rooms were small but nicely furnished and kept beautifully clean with clean towels every day. the food wasn't exciting but very edible and the waiting staff were... more

We have returned from our third visit to this comfortable family-run hotel. As always, the staff were pleasant and helpful more

We have just returned from the hotel after a very nice week. Hotel was small and very clean with polite and helpful staff who were happy to help whenever asked. The room was small and did't have much of a view as it looked over the main road but this was not a problem, it is a bit of a... more

We stayed at the Hotel Royal for only one night. It's not a fantastic hotel but it's definitely pleasant. The hotel staff was very helpful and nice, the room clean and quiet, the swimming pool area good. A good price/quality ratio hotel in Stresa. more

Hotel staff made us most welcome, nothing was too much trouble. A typical family run hotel where the owner & wife worked with the staff daily. Very clean, our room was not large but very comfortable. Good position, 2 mins from the lake edge where boats leave from - an excellent means of travel around the lake. No entertainment and... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in September of 2005. We thought the hotel was very nice. We had a Side Lake View room. The rooms are large and recently re-done. Hardwood floors and a very nice bathroom with a tub. The views of the lake are not fantastic but are nice. The staff is... more

The Hotel initially appears expensive but the clever photography on the web-site helps justify the price, until you arrive. My first concern was to be offered a 10% discount for paying cash - a tax dodge? I don't know. I went with the easier non discount option. Upon arriving we were made to wait some 2 hours whilst the room... more
