Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at Lake Como was a cozy experience with high-standard rooms and a delightful breakfast. Although the rooms were a bit small, the comfort was top-notch. The location right in the city center was a major convenience but watch out for the lack of heating.
The hotel's location near the train station and boat ramp is fantastic, offering convenient car parking and friendly staff. The rooms, though small and dated with limited workspace, were clean. The service was a mix of being overworked on arrival but turned super friendly and helpful later on. The dining experience was good but lacked the expected taste quality for a 4-star hotel. Overall, the hotel's potential is visible but needs improvements in various areas for a more satisfactory stay.
The hotel offers attractive rooms that are roomy and comfortable, though slightly smaller than pictured, with an old-fashioned charm that may not suit everyone. The service is top-notch, with attentive and efficient staff, especially Emanuel at reception. The location is excellent, within walking distance of main attractions and the train station, though lacking in greenery. The dining experience is lovely, although not particularly reflective of a traditional breakfast. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is a hidden gem with beautiful views and excellent service. The rooms were super nice with a luxurious bathroom and quiet ambiance, although some hallway noise was noticeable. The staff was more than helpful, making the stay even better. The location is perfect for exploring Como and enjoying the stunning scenery, but the dining experience was average.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The great AC was a savior on humid days at Lake Como, but the room felt a little small for the price. There was no desk for working with a laptop, which was a downside.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms, although not spacious, were quite comfortable with clean en suite facilities and a cozy bed. The view of the Duomo from my room was breathtaking. The service was convenient and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The location couldn't be better, putting me right in front of Lake Como for easy exploration. The dining experience was unexpectedly good, especially the free snacks at the bar. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor drawbacks like the room size.
I was pleasantly surprised with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were excellent in standard and facilities, offering a super nice experience despite the lobby giving a relatively sad impression. The shower was refreshing, but the bed being too low to the floor was a minor inconvenience. The fact that it's a smoke-free facility was a big plus.
