Regina Palace Hotel - Stresa

Great location to water taxi service. The hotel resturant food and service was very good. The hotel is a grand old hotel with modern conviences. The lake front view rooms are very nice. The balcony is a little to small for comfort. Our reservation with Hotels.com was not processed timely so there was complication with reservation upon our arrival. We […] did get it corrected but had a delay in our check in process. Read more

Great location. Clean good looking and quite room. But the bed was below average for any hotel.

Very close to bars, restaurants, the lake and the boats to the islands. Older hotel in good condition, tight rooms.

It is a very nice and elegant hotel with an historical air. It is well up kept, however it has that feeling of emptiness from large old school hotels.

Duct tape holding the hair dryer to the wall. No staff to help with luggage on arrival. No conciegre service. Mediocre breakfast.

Two items that could be improved. First, the internet in the lobby should be put on a larger table with both computers being able to print to the printer. The printer should also be replaced and somewhat upgraded since almost every time I printed something the machine jammed. The second item, going from the bathroom to the bedroom on the baseboard there […] is a big piece of wood missing. Read more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Regina Palace with another couple. This was an anniversary celebration, so we were willing to pay a bit more - we were very impressed. I won't be able to stay anywhere else the next time we're in Italy -- according to my wife. It is incredibly elegant. We had a standard room, and although small, it was quite adequate […] and they gave us an upgrade to a lakeview, balcony room. To see sunrise and sunsets over Lake Maggiore was fantastic. Our friends paid for a lakefront room upgrade and were given one of the suites -- it was amazing. The only drawback was that it did not have a balcony. Both rooms were extremely elegant. The breakfast consisted of an outstanding buffet. I cannot imagine anything that could have been added to it. The dining room, as with the entire hotel, was elegant. We listened to a free classical piano concert one evening in the ballroom, it was wonderful. We also made use of the outdoor and indoor pools.The indoor grotto pool is a large spa pool with water jets for massaging and other relaxing water therapies. There was also a sauna and steam room. The spa pool and its facilities were complimentary. The location was outstanding, directly on the lakefront and only a short stroll to the town center of Stresa. We went there daily and took all of our dinners in the town. They were reasonable and always satisfying. It fully met our expectations and was a wonderful start to our trip. Read more

I was a guest last year and when the opportunity came up to return I couldn't wait. I was disappointed when the air conditioning was not working in our room and we were not offered a different room. The breakfast was not as good either. You can't beat the view. The service needs to be consistent.

Wonderful location across from the lake, comfortable rooms however the wi if was an expensive voucher purchased through an Internet service provider. Upon login I lost 8 minutes of the 30 minute voucher and 5 minutes from the end. Apart from this we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Regina Palace Hotel.

Excellent hotel,very close to exhibition centre. Overall service very good. Reception was very small, always had to wait

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First impressions of the hotel - fabulous. This hotel is so close to being perfect but lets itself down with final touches such as magnifying mirrors in bathroom, iron and ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities. We had booked a garden view room and our first room overlooked the air conditioning system. Our second room gave us a garden view […] if we opened our window and stretched our necks. The hotel was full so no room for manouevre with rooms. Also more lifts required Read more

Super location, clean and comfortable, excellent service, don't expect to have a party on the balcony though, it is VERY small.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beautiful hotel and an excellent location. Staff were extremely pleasant. The hotel could do with replacing the elevators, two of them were tiny and at one point they were the only ones in use when the much bigger one broke down. Also, we had to complain about the smell of dampness in our bathroom; apart from that everything else was perfect.

This is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful situation right on the lakeside, convenient both for the short walk into town and for the ferries. Stresa is full of restaurants of all kinds and has an attractive (but not rumbustious) lifestyle.

A most enjoyable and comfortable stay with a very sumptuous and ideally located hotel. The town of Stresa was lovely with absolutely gorgeous views.There was a variery of things to see and do including a cable car trip up a mountain and a visit to the Borromean Islands. We even included a day trip to Locarno in Switzerland via the Maggiore Express This […] was an ideal choice for a break away from home for a couple or family with young children, there appeared to be very little entertainment for teenagers Read more

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is magnificent-very well decorated, good choice of food for breakfast and very good location ie not at all far from the centre of Stresa and the waterfront.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Magnificent hotel but staff rather unfriendly and unhelpul. Our room was disappointing. Nothing like the grand pictures on the website. Our "garden view" room was in fact overlooking the carpark - not a garden in sight! When we first arrived they could not locate our booking. They eventually found it. For some reason it was booked using my middle name […] as my surname. Not sure how that happened. Our room was not ready. In fact we went back three times before we could check in at 5.30 pm. Good and extensive breakfast. No free wifi. Not many toiletries in the bathroom. For a hotel of this standard I expected more. Great location on lakefront and close to the town. Read more

We spent much time searching for a hotel to stay at during the lead up to our wedding in Verbania. Trip Advisor spoke highly of the Regina Palace. It has oppulent entrance areas, beautiful grounds and swimming pool. The breakfast was superb. The only trouble we had was the lack of space in our room. There was very little storage and hanging space and […] roughly a foot surrounding the bed. It was tiny and with all of our luggage for wedding and honeymoon, it proved to be very difficult to move at all without tripping up and nearly breaking your neck. The staff were completely hopeless most of the time and seldom arrived with the correct drinks order. If you have a greater budget, opt for a much more spacious room and with a better view than the carpark where you revieved a daily reminder that the blue rinse brigage have arrived back in their Saga Coach. There are much nicer hotels in the area where you will recieve the same facilities for less money. Our guests certainly never stopped reminding us of the fact! Read more

We chose to have a room with a view of the lake but nowhere did it tell us that you didn't get the sun after about 9:00 am! A better option would be to have a room with a view of the pool and gardens as they get the sun for most of the day. The room was much smaller than we had anticipated from the photographs but it was very clean; the balcony was […] also very small. Hotel food and drink were very expensive so we opted to eat out each night. Read more

It was my wife's 50th birthday holiday so we were looking for something special. Having started our trip at an excellent hotel in Venice, both Stresa and the Regina Palace had something to live up to. But it delivered! From check-in onwards we had a lovely experience at the 4 star Regina Palace. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Our 4th […] floor room was very good indeed with a balcony overlooking the lake and the islands. Perfect. The food and especially the service in the a la carte restaurant (which was a little expensive - for special occasions perhaps), were some of the best we have ever experienced. The Hotel also held an excellent free classical concert. Overall Stresa was a good location. We visited the islands (Isola Bella is just divine), had two long walks on the Mottarone mountain (recommended, especially if you can get to the Rock Palace for fantastic views overlooking Lake Orta (but choose a good day), and the combined boat and rail return trip to Locarno (we recommend getting the boat first and having lunch then getting the train from Locarno and stopping off in Santa Maria Maggiore to see the church and have drinks in the Roxy cafe - full of locals playing cards etc but very welcoming). A memorable trip. Having said that we have the feeling that a 5 night visit was about right and it isn't top of our list of towns to return to as we feel we have seen a lot of what the town has to offer Read more

In 7 nights we changed rooms twice. The first 2 nights we spent in a room next to room with a baby which woke in the night and screamed. The hotel were happy to swap us, but they swapped us to a room next to a room with a baby which woke in the night and screamed. Our final room was fine. The hotel were very helpful

Great Hotel. View superb. Stresa is very relaxing and well worth the trip if you like being near a Lake with a mountain view.
