We had a lake view room which I would recommend as the option to sit on the balcony and take in the views is well worth the extra. The hotel was very clean and housekeeping was to a high standard. The rooms were sizeable but did tend to get noisy in the morning with the market starting up and street... More

The view is fantastic and the location much the same. The staff really go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble for any of them. I slept with the balcony door open therefore got a fair amount of noise in the morning but this is not the fault of the hotel. Some aspects of the rooms are a... More

Stayed 3 nights in October. Hotel in ideal position just 2 mins from the lake,magic. Could not fault the cleanliness of hotel or room. Neither could we fault the efficiency and friendliness of the staff at the desk. Breakfast was all we needed and very fresh. Lovely township, lovely lake and great restaurants if you go looking. Fantastic views from... More

Great value for the location, the views from the lake view rooms are amazing. Rooms are of a very high quality, well equipped and maintained with an excellent bathroom. The staff were all friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying in Como. My only quibble would be I found the breakfast a little average... More

The hotel is conveniently located very near to the train station and also directly overlooks the lake. It could not be in a more perfect location. The town was absolutely beautiful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and relaxing. Overall this was an excellent stay. More

Ok, its not the prettiest hotel in Como, but it has fabulous views and really helpful staff. Rooms were spotlessly clean and it made a great base for exploring the area. The continental breakfast is not haute cuisine but you can manufacture a feast from all the fruit, meats, cheeses, bacon, eggs, juices, etc, etc. It is more that adequate... More

My husband and I have stayed at Hotel Barchetta Excelsior twice--the latest on October 31 of this year. After a long day traveling from France to Como with several stressful train changes, it was a pleasure to be welcomed by the friendly, professional staff, and were extremely courteous and helpful throughout our very short stay--expecially Valentina and Elena. The nice-sized... More

This property is located so that you can view Lake Como. The standard room was larger than the usual European standard rooms. Very clean property. Highly recommend. More

My mother and I recently spent a wonderful four-days at this hotel. It could not be more conveniently located, steps from the train station, Duomo and historic center, boats up the lake, funicular, etc. The staff was genuinely friendly and, without exception, incredibly helpful, spending quite a bit of time recommending activities and restaurants, giving us directions, and even just...
