    There was some building work going on the opposite side of the road in front of the hotel which meant you didn't want to sit out on the balcony during the morning or afternoon but with the lake views within easy walking distance with lots of benches to sit down this was not too much of a problem.

    The room was satisfactory and good value for money. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and very fresh. The location was perfect, within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants with some very close but still quiet. The train station was also within easy walking distance.

    Simple hôtel. Basic. But good value for the price.

    Good quality/value ratio Simple and clean hotel. Do not expect something fancy. A good place to stay for a sleep, everything you need in the bathroom is there, A/C works perfectly. A cheap option to stay on Stresa, 2 min from the lake.

    No small fridge in the room where you can cool water bottles during the 33 degrees heat weather, weak Wi-Fi, shower water was not draining and you were standing in that dirty soapy water while bathing.

    The room is short on modern basics like bins and flat surfaces around the sink. As we went by car we had a lot of luggage but most had to stay in my case.

    The location of the hotel is brilliant. We only took the car out of the garage to visit another lake in the area. The station and Stresa centre are a short walk away so is the lake. We swam in the lake and in five minutes we were back in the hotel. The shower and air conditioning and bidet were excellent. Room service was great.

    Breakfast was only until 9:30.

    Location was good, a 3 min walk to the train station and about the same to the lake shore. Any hotel along the front was double the cost. We were given rooms in the new section which was only opened this year, fairly plain but at the same time had everything we needed.

    Hotel Boston doesn't quite have a lakeside view, but you could pay vastly more to be 50m nearer.

    The weather, but it was only a 2 night stay so we were just unlucky! But the Palazzo on Isola Bella is amazing whatever the weather, and I did have good weather on my previous trip in 1958.

    Hotel Boston is just up from the lakeside road, where you can park untimed and free this far from the busiest stretch. So there was no need to pay for the hotel carpark. Breakfast was plentiful, with some seating outside if the weather permits (though it didn't when we were there). Boats to the Borromean Islands were a short walk away. I booked admission to Isola Bella online for E20 each, and then signed up for their newsletter, whereupon I was given two more tickets free of charge so I wished I hadn't just paid 40 euro!

    The hotel was chosen for its convenience and proximity to train station and so met these requirements very well. only about 5 mins and all down hill. Had a lift - hooray. Older style Italian hotel but very clean and comfortable. Bathroom small but more than adequate and hot water was plentiful. Helpful staff and I followed their recommendation for a local restaurant on the road back to the station and this didn't disappoint.
