The rooms were big, everything was clean and the staff was really nice.

YES, good value for money, spacious rooms , rich breakfast but what is the point of coming to lake como and not seeing the lake from your room? It seemed like a hotel for conventions and large middle market tourist groups. Of course, should you dont want to spent more on a lakefront property is a good choice

This hotel is ok. It is clean and functional but hasn't got any particularly outstanding features. It is fine for somewhere as a base but if you are planning a stay with lots of character and charisma this might not suit. Perhaps if you want something more amazing go further up towards Tremezzo or bellagio which are just beautiful and a lot more lush and luxurious. The Grand hotel in Tremezzo is like a litle piece of heaven.

Our room was 513. It was spacious, clean, with a nice marble bathroom and very good air conditioning. View of a couple of houses in the foreground and mountains in the background. It is not on the lake but the price would be far higher if it was. The hotel is modern. There is one free computer in the lobby which was usually not occupied. Must be used frequently as a business hotel because we saw business groups apparently attending a conference. The reception desk is manned by people who are not very proficient in English. It appeared that one person each shift pretty well understood English and the desk staff did not exactly rush to help you; but once you got their attention they were helpful. Our cab driver told us some people complained of small rooms but our was great. We ate at a restaurant called Vapore in Cernobbia, a 10 Euro cab ride away. It wa pricey, but great. Truth is, most everywhere in Italy is pricey. You just have to get used to that. Reservations are advised at Vapore.
