We had a delightful stay at Hotel Barchetta starting with the excellent service we received upon arrival. Valentina made us feel welcome and was very helpful. Our room overlooked the Lake and served our needs. The location was ideal.

Drove in by car and had a bit of trouble finding it via GPS but once we did, the service and help we received was especially warm and very helpful, all thanks to Christian. Our room on the sixth floor overlooked beautiful Lake Como. The hotel is located close to everything - history, restaurants, shopping - anything you want. Breakfast... More

I have stayed at Barchetta Hotel quite a few times over the past 4 years for business and I keep being more impressed by this hotel. The rooms ARE old fashioned (but so are 90% of hotels in Como), however the staff, the location and the views definitely make up for it. Reception staff are really helpful, lovely breakfast overlooking... More

I booked this hotel thinking it would be a perfect fit for thr night of my anniversary with my husband. It was the worst hotel ever. The staff was rude, the room was so small and outdated with the option to pay to just watch regular cable... Our staff was not enjoyable. We paid half the price for other hotels... More

We spent Easter weekend at this hotel. It was a late booking and we didn't have lake view rooms. As Como is such a beautiful place we didn't plan to spend much time in our room so view from room was not too important. Also travelling with 2 teenagers - views are not high on their priority list! The hotel... More

The hotel is right on the piazza and overlooks the lake. The room was quite spacious ( especially after Paris), clean and well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. The hotel is close to to the ferry services and the buses. It cost 7€ to get from San Giovanni Rail Station by taxi. My only complaint is that the water in... More

We had lake view rooms which have magnificent vistas in all directions. Some of the little things are missed by this hotel such as the balconies, outdated, unclean and in need of some TLC. Housekeeping was very good, breakfast whilst generous missed the mark. Scrambled eggs were either cold or over-cooked and imagine our horror when we saw fresh being... More

Barchetta Excelsior is the best choice if you want to stay in the centre of COMO. It offers clean and large rooms with a wonderful Lake View. Hotel is close to the train station, boat pier, funicular, Duomo and historical places of COMO. The stuff were professional and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. We also had a chance to...

Nice breakfast with view to the lake. No free wifi. Good rooms. Very well located (close to the lake and historic center). I wouldn't visit Como again in March, not many things to do or see.
