I love the excellent restaurant on Ground floor of Hotel. I enjoyed Great Coffee & variety of foods in the morning. I like the entrance atmosphere of this building. Just only one disappointed to the Reception staff. He’s looked too busy to talk to me.

We spent 13 nights here over Christmas and the New Year. It is not a hotel as such, but 7 hotel type rooms in a building with a restaurant on the ground floor. The location is fabulous with the superior rooms overlooking Lake Como. It is an easy walk into town or anywhere on the waterfront. The staff were nice at breakfast, and breakfast was quite sufficient. We did not dine in the restaurant but it was well patronized both at lunch and dinner, and the prices looked quite reasonable. Housekeeping was fine but maybe a little bit of attentiom could have been paid to restockimg tea, sugar, and some bathroom supplies. Parking was free but subject to availability so was a bit of a hassle, but parking anywhere in Como is difficult to find. We stayed here 4 years ago and would stay here again.

Not Bad

Room was pretty stark and the walls are paper thin so if you have loud neighbors or several of them as we did then it can be irritating. Other than that, the room was clean and the location is excellent.

Hotel in fantastic location

Hotel is in a fantastic location, right on Lake Como. Parking is just out the front of the hotel , we found a park , I imagine in Summer it would be much more difficult! Rooms were clean & comfortable enough . Breakfast was nice , plenty of choices. Ate at the restaurant- be warned , there’s a €2.50 cover charge per person ( we have 4 kids , so that’s an extra €15 !!) for nothing, basically- you don’t get any bread & they won’t serve tap water ! Lake Como is stunning , & we could easily walk around from here , so I’d probably stet again , just wouldn’t eat at the restaurant!

Good choice.

This is a very nice moderately priced hotel. It is right by the water and located conveniently right across the street from the train station. It is on a bustling corner, but our window blocked out sound nicely. Our view was fantastic as we overlooked the front and right out to the water and mountains. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. There was one manager who spoke a little English which helped. I thought the morning breakfast buffet was more than adequate and although nothing fancy, someone seemed to take pride in it based on the presentation. Honestly and sadly, we did not like the coffee. It was like really strong bad coffee. Our next hotel in Moltrasio had MUCH better coffee. This was strong AND good. We visited in late June and the weather was hot. Our AC did not work well at all so it was a bit hot. We did manage to cool things off at night by opening the windows to the lake breeze. I would stay at this hotel again and recommend it without hesitation unless you are used to 5 star accommodations.

Amateur and rude management

Pro: Great location, well serviced, clean, working AC in summer Cons: Management have no idea how to run a hotel. They don't speak English. They called my room (and then my cell phone) repeatedly because they later decided (after my check in) that they did not like my ID cards and wanted alternative forms of ID. Then, after I had checked out, they decided that they "forgot" to get paid from hotels.com, and demanded that I return to Como (after I had already left Italy) in order to pay them. Absolutely unprofessional. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Excellent location, close to the train and station

After reading a few negative reviews I was worried about staying at this hotel, especially as I was there to celebrate my special birthday ! Well, it turned out to be excellent and I could not complain! Breakfast was good, staff was friendly and although the room wasn't too big, it was spacious enough, with en suit bathroom and toiletries socked daily. It was located in a central area, easy to get to the bus stop, to the funicular, to the bars and restaurants as well as the park. The shopping district was just behind the hotel within a walking distance. The hotel has a restaurant downstairs open to the general public so you will not struggle for food. The staff was so thoughtful that as we checked out, we were offered chilled bottles of water to take with us. I forgot to mention that the mini bar in the room was free, thus was stocked daily with 2 cans of soft drinks abd 2 bottles of water. I definitely recommend this hotel to everyone!

Good location but no car parking

My wife and I enjoyed a 3 night stay at this hotel in August and were grateful for the air conditioning in the room. The room was clean although small, friendly staff and location is very good for Como town, bus and rail links. Breakfast was OK with plenty of choice. We would recommend this hotel, however there is no free parking as advertised and limited parking nearby the hotel, if you are lucky and find a parking space it is expensive.

Curious, but good

This is a curious place, being not exactly a hotel but really rooms accessible from a restaurant (where breakfast is served). We used it as a stopover place, going to and coming from, Bellagio on the ferry. For that purpose it was excellent. Although it was right on the junction of busy roads it was quiet in the room. No views from the rooms that I know of, however. Our first room looked out into the railway station. But that was the good thing for us - both the trains and the ferries were easily reached. And the main old town area was similarly accessible. The staff were great and the breakfast was good. It was safe and the wifi worked. Just don't expect all the amenities of a complete hotel.

Nice hotel close to beach

Overall good, good accommodation and close to the lake with water view. Staff very helpful but very basic continental breakfast and really bad service at the dinner. Hopefully that was one time mistake and will not Be repeated with other clients.
