We spent 2 nights in this well located hotel in Como,The suite we had on the top floor was very comfortable with 2 balconies and 2 bathrooms which was nice to have.The view was of the lake and of the ferry terminal.The bed was very comfortable and there were many English channels on the TV. There was a decent breakfast buffet and the coffee was very good!.Would stay again if ever in Como

Fantastic location opposite the lake and in the centre of town. There is a large square across the road - and then across another road is the lake, so you do have an unobstructed view if you have a room overlooking the square. We had a lovely lake view room with a balcony and the view was spectacular both night and day. It's a 10 min flat walk to/from the railway station. There was construction work underway at the shoreline in front of the hotel - looks like they are reinforcing the walkway, so there is a crane / workers there. The building looks to be from the 1950's with high quality furniture and fittings. Lots of wardrobe space in the room. There is a lift to all floors. Staff are very professional. Breakfast buffet selection is good and fresh barista coffee is available to order from the staff.

Apparently the hotel has a rather arrogant and Terrible Reservation process. I made a Reservation on the hotel website 24 hours ago. The arrival date was in four days on 24 August. Our plans have changed and I emailed the hotel to cancel the reservation. The hotel clerk, Michaela Pertusini, responded that I could only cancel the reservation by going to their website. Meanwhile my reservation for arrival on 24 August was still in place and not canceled. In all of my 60 years of traveling around the world I have not experienced such an arrogant response from a hotel.

Dear Fnjaeger, In reply to your negative review, we are sorry to read about your experience. I looked into the matter personally with my team and read the exchange of mails. After your first mail, our hotel clerk Michela kindly replied that you could cancel your reservation that was made on-line, directly from the our website. You then replied after several hours stating that you had no access to the website and you would appreciate if we help process the cancellation directly. We replied within 20 minutes confirming the cancellation. Apologies if this came across as being arrogant. Kind regards, Robert Webber General Manager

this was one of the best meals we had in Como. The restaurant does not look like what you actually get. The food was special flavours, the chef clearly put his own twist on each dish. The wine card was ok, and the service was competent and friendly. The price was as expected in a 4 star hotel, but i would pay it again.

Rooms are a good size but the furniture is a little tired. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We stayed in a lake view room with balcony, which I would definitely recommend. Breakfast were good and a full variety. Good location right on the front but walk 5 mins to loads of restaurants in the town. We arrived by train and there are 2 train stations, Como Lac is walk-able

Do not go to this hotel! The rooms are full of dirty carpet! It smells so bad that I had to keep the windows opened. I am not even talking about the bed sheets 😓The pictures on the website has NO resemblance with the hotel upon our arrival! It was really a shock !. To summarise in one word-(disappointing) ! Trust me, I am wasting my time to write this review, so you won’t lose your precious time and holidays with your family. Search more!

Great position. Maybe a bit noisy at The front if you open the window as the hotel faces the plaza . However it's very close to the boat wharves and in the centre of the old city. The staff are excellent and friendly and happy to help with details you may need. The hotel presents well and is v clean . We got breakfast included which is quite good. It has eggs and bacon and sausage which is not common in Italy. However it needs to provide boiling water for tea. The jug there is lukewarm . You also need to request an espresso as the drip coffee is not what I liked Otherwise a great place to stay. Big thank you to the gent at th desk that helped us book boat trips etc.
