Had a few days in this hotel a few years ago. Vowed to return. What a location! Was not disappointed. This time had two inches of snow on the furniture on our balcony, yet the view across the lake to Bellagio and the mountains was more spectacular, if that is possible. Never saw the lake looking better. The temperatures were... More

Stayed at this hotel in December 2011 and first impressions were very good. Check in staff were helpful, friendly and we upgraded to a Lake View room with balcony. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Views were wonderful and the upgrade was worth every penny. Location wise this hotel is a great choice, just over the road from the... More

A few years ago I had the priviledge of visiting this hotel and always promised myself I would return. I am returning in June of this year with Shearings (The original Travel Agent). Last time I was there the food and service was very good. The all inclusive package is excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and very... More

I went to the hotel in November 2011. It is a lovely hotel situated overlooking the lake. The food and service was very good. My room was lovely and clean, but as I had to pay extra for a single room I would like to have had a view of the lake, not the big metal fire escape at the... More

Just spent an excellent Christmas at the Excelsior. Food good and service good. We also went with Shearings and Christmas lunch was great at least seven courses. A trip on the Bernina Express from Tirano to St. Moritz was the icing on the cake. This was our first Christmas away for a few years and it was a real treat. More

We travelled to Lake Como with Leger Coach Tours for a second visit to this hotel. We found it to be busier than last year but nevertheless a good all round sevice was provided. The only fault was that the aircon/heater in the room blew cold air all the first night, but following a complaint to the manager's wife, was... More

I loved the location of this very grand hotel The views were lovely and the ferry stop to other lovely towns, was just over the road. The staff were overworked but very efficient. We enjoyed the food. It is mass catering on a budget and well done. The lift system and corridors confused me a bit - but no-one else... More
