We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a lake side room which had a wonderful view. The room had good soundproofing for sleeping. Breakfast was great and there were lovely room extras included for the price. It is conveniently located for Como centre and the ferry.

Great location but …

Great location but missing opportunities for a great review. Breakfast was very disappointing with little variety and awful coffee. Given we are in Italy this should have been better. Hotel rooms a bit dated but location great.

The hotel is in a fantastic spot — right on the lake and just steps from Como’s Cathedral and historic center. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a room with a beautiful lake view, which made the experience even more special. Parking is off-site at a nearby sister hotel, just a short walk away. It’s a bit inconvenient but manageable. The room was clean and comfortable, though starting to feel a bit dated and could use some renovation. Breakfast was included and offered a nice variety — definitely a plus.
