Lovely lakeside hotel
Pros:

Great location right next to the ferry terminal on the lake. 5 mins walk to Como Lago railway station. Surrounded by great bars and restaurants. Extremely helpful staff. Big rooms, comfortable beds and nice breakfast.

Cons:

The showers are not great (sorry). And €10 for a beer in the bar is a little steep.

War ganz OK! Hat aber noch Luft nach oben!
Pros:

War völlig ok

Cons:

Das man den Parkplatz nicht im Voraus buchen kann. Finde ich völlig daneben, zudem ich schon Stammkunde bin!

Très belle vue sur le lac
Pros:

L’emplacement exceptionnel, la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

L’hôtel est vraiment désuet. Il mériterait un rafraîchissement (climatisation qui ne fonctionnait pas, robinet dans la salle de bain cassé). Ce n’est pas du niveau d’un 4 étoiles.
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas très qualitatif ( produits industriels, pas beaucoup de choix).
