Hôtel très bien placé en plein centre de la ville de Stresa. Attention cependant, les chambres ne disposent pas de climatisation mais uniquement de ventilateurs...et il peut faire très chaud!

It is a nice little cosy hotel at the city center. The bed is good (not too soft), the room was very clean, you can make the room completely dark at the night.

Lief, knus, maar eenvoudig hotel.
Toplocatie midden in het centrum met alle winkeltjes en restaurants.
Wij hadden die familiekamer. Klein en eenvoudig, maar ook schoon en netjes. Gezellig uitzicht vanaf het balkon.
