The good points of this hotel are the staff and the restaurant service was excellent. The staff were most helpful and the quality and presentation of the dishes in the restaurant were second to none. We got free internet, possibly because we were staying 5 nights, otherwise there is a charge. The room did not have a lake view (which... More

We were there in early October with a Rick Steves group so we were unable to choose a room location. Some of our group had fabulous lake views that were out of this world. We were in #118 which overlooked the piazza. Noisy but once the windows were closed not bad. However no A/C as it was "too cold" according... More

Request room 103. There is a cute little balcony off the room that can melt away all of your cares in the world. A sunset from the room is not to be missed. While the price was a bit higher than I would have liked, and the rest of the hotel rather uninspiring, I loved the room and the balcony.... More

We booked two suites for the weekend one for me, my husband and dog and the other for my parents. Both suites were really spacious and had sea views and my parents room was on a split level. Both rooms were decorated in keeping with the age of the hotel and were really different. The staff from the manager down... More

Our second stay in this hotel. Bit of a trek from both the ferry wharf and also the train station. If you have heavy bags then definitely worth a taxi ride. Staff OK, not overly friendly or helpful. The barman is particularly grumpy. Rooms are pleasant, comfortable with great views over Lake Como. Try to get a balcony room overlooking... More

I wasn't sure what to expect based on the mixed reviews, but we loved this hotel. It is in the best location in Varenna, right on the water and facing the main square. The hotel lobby was nice, a little frumpy, but pleasant and the building itself grand and our room was fantastic. Note that we reserved a room with... More

First the staff was very friendly and our room had an excellent view. The rooms were small and not much room for storage. The A/C worked occasionally but never cooled the room sufficiently. Rock hard pillows. Clean sheets. Overall condition was somewhat worn & dated, but clean. Internet was €4 per day but seldom worked. Breakfast average but there was... More

We just left the lovely town of Varenna so I felt the need to write a review on our hotel. First the location was great, and our deck overlooked Lake Como. It was a spectacular view. We were right in the town center which was great. Now for the negatives. They charged us an additional $20 Euros pet night for... More

We stayed 2 nights here last week in a lake view room. The view of the lake was great and the location in varenna is brilliant. I would definitely recommend Varenna as a town to stay in Como for a short trip. It is a beautiful little town with a couple of good restaurants, (vechia varenna and hotel del sol... More
