Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has sparkling clean rooms with relatively better bathrooms but is a bit small and faces a brick wall. The service was caring and helpful, although there were some delays in addressing issues. The location offers superb views of the lake and is perfect for exploring nearby towns. The dining experience was excellent with great food and service. The facilities are well-kept.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were extremely spacious and granted the best possible view of lovely Como, although a bit small. They were well-equipped, but I felt having coffee/tea making facilities on demand would be useful. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep.
The hotel's location is unbeatable, and it's very handy for ferries up the lake. The rooms are overlooking the square and kept exceptionally clean, but there was no sound installation between the rooms. The service is friendly, and the staff inside the hotel is professional and helpful, though a bit indifferent at times. The dining experience offers a delicious selection but can be better for a 4-star hotel. The facilities are well-maintained, and the price is reasonable given its central Como location.
The hotel is in a superb location, offering lovely views over the lake and great people-watching opportunities from the balcony. The rooms, while spacious, might need updating and were occasionally subject to noise disturbances from external sources. The service was consistently wonderful, particularly during check-in and check-out, with staff being friendly and helpful. The dining experience was quite nice overall, though it fell short with limited breakfast options at times.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms offered an excellent view of the lake and were sparkling clean, although a bit dated and not soundproof. The service was very accommodating and attentive, making my stay very pleasant. The location was fantastic, right in front of the lake and near all the attractions and shops, making it extremely convenient. The dining experience was good with lots of choices, although the breakfast setting felt a bit rushed. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with spacious rooms overlooking Lake Como but felt the dining options were a bit limited. The service was exceptional, and the location was perfect for exploring the area.
