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...
Read moreI visited here, as a solo traveller and stayed in quite a large, comfortable, beautifully presented single room, well priced, which I felt incredibly comfortable and at home in, with a lovely spacious balcony, looking partly over the gardens and covered in beautiful flowers..as was the whole hotel. |The energy was lovely, the staff were so friendly and could not do enough for me, including giving me some free entrance tickets, another guest had not used, to visitl Isolo Bella and the most beautiful park, about an hours (lovely, walk away. Beautiful flora, with deer, goats, many birds and most incredibly a gigantic male peacock, that strutted around, freeling, showing off his beautiful tail. |The small, garden was lush and perfectly maintained. The smell of perfumed Jasmine permeated the whole place. |They had a small, but lovely and peaceful pool area and a lovely bar, where you are treated like royalty.|A lovely restaurant, on site and I would highly recommend half board, as the food was lovely as were the serving staff.|It was not central, but a pleasant walk, of around 20 minutes into the centre.|Cleanliness was 10/10.

Read moreI don’t even know where to begin in describing how wonderful the staff at Hotel Flora was.
The hotel manager, Carlo, went over and above to make sure our stay was perfect—exactly what a great manager should do. Francesca was always pleasant and helped us so much throughout our visit, and Julia was also fantastic. Their warmth and professionalism truly stood out.
Our room was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. The view from our balcony was perfect—we could see both the lake and the mountains. There was some street noise, which meant we couldn’t sleep with the doors open, but it wasn’t a problem for us.
The location worked out great. The train station was only a 15-minute walk, which made it easy to spend a day in Milan. There’s also a car rental agency just a block away; we rented a car and had a wonderful time visiting Lake Orta and Bellagio. It was a 20 minute walk to the restaurants in the center of Stresa.
Hotel Flora exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone...
