I couldn't have asked for a better view from my room - absolutely stunning overlooking Lake Como! The room itself was nice and clean, though it required a bit of effort with a pushchair due to some steps. The staff did their best to assist, especially with my requests for extra pillows and a charger. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw away from the lake cruises departure point.

The hotel offers lovely, newly renovated rooms that, despite being small, provided ample space for all my belongings. The decor reminded me of a subtler version of an IKEA room. However, there was some noise from running water that could be heard from showers and toilets. The service was helpful, although they had to manage some loud guests and my initial room request needed to be redone. The staff was incredibly nice, though not overly friendly. The location was outstanding, with beautiful views from both my window and balcony, right at the top of the lake and in front of the ferry stop. The dining experience, unfortunately, did not meet expectations for a luxury hotel, with a very basic and repetitive selection of items. The hotel provides facilities that cater well to pairs or small groups. Noteworthy positive aspects include the facilities' cleanliness and the convenient location, while the poor dining options and some noise disturbance are significant drawbacks.

The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to access the ferry dock and bus station. The rooms are very narrow and old, resembling a 2-bedroom apartment, but the lake view compensates for the outdated decor. The service was exceptional, with great recommendations for exploring Lake Como. The breakfast, though basic, offered fresh quality options. The noise from pedestrians crossing was a minor inconvenience.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with its unbeatable location across from the embarcadero in Como and just a short walk from Piazza Duomo. The room had a great view over Lake Como although it didn't exactly match the website photos, but it was clean with an amazingly comfortable bed. The service was top-notch, except for a minor incident with one receptionist. The dining experience was good overall with some room for improvement in variety. The facilities were convenient and well-kept, making my stay enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were spacious with fantastic views of Lake Como, but they definitely need a complete refurbishment. The breakfast was quite poor. The service was a highlight, with the staff maintaining the hotel's ambiance and providing excellent recommendations for exploring Lake Como. Despite some friendly staff members, others were quite miserable. The location was perfect for exploring the area, being close to the lake and restaurants, but it could get noisy at night. The dining experience had a generous spread of goodies but lacked variety. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel's location is wonderful, right on the waterfront and in front of the ferry stop, making it perfect for boat cruises and exploring the city. The rooms are very comfortable with plenty of seating, but they are outdated and lack soundproofing. The service was excellent overall, with helpful recommendations for Lake Como attractions but with some incidents of unfriendliness. The dining options were basic but satisfactory, offering standard continental fare with a touch of variety. The noisy nights can be a downside, but the hotel's prime location and services compensate for it.
