We stayed at In Riva al Lago for 3 nights over Easter. We arrived by train from Milan Malpensa airport and it was really easy to find to the B&B, literally 5mins from the station. The staff were friendly and helpful and gave us some good advice on the upcoming weather forecast and which day looked best for a day... More

Everything is on superlativ, starting from location, which is right in the centre of the city, continouing with the stuff, which was very friedly and helpful with us, and finishing with the rooms, wich were very spacious and clean. I would recommend this accomodation to everyone.

I realy wasn't expecting it to be this good! First of all, the safety issue! Two password-protected shielded doors before you get to the door of your appartment! really important for me.. Then, the rooms were really clean and cosy, and the WC (I stayed in a double room with shared bathroom) was big and clean. Least but not last,... More

You will need sat nav to find it. Don't rely on street names - you won't find many! It is a ston'es throw from the lake edge in the middle of narrow streets, tourist and restaurant area. There is an underground locked garage 50metre away at a cost of 8 euro. Our room (G2) on the 3rd floor was excellent.... More

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of September 2011. We had a double room with private bathroom. Everything was clean, and roomy enough. We had a tiny private balcony that looked down to the inner courtyard. Free wi-fi worked intermittently in the room - better when the door to the balcony was open and we sat in... More

You cannot beat this place for value for money, its basic and you can't shower between 10pm and 6am (didn't bother me!!) but the beds are comfortable and there is even AC! We had a small room with bunk beds and shared a bathroom in the hall. Spotlessly clean and a location 2nd to none. Beside bus station and across... More

If you don't mind hostel style accommodations with bunk beds and shared bathrooms, this is a great place to stay in Como. The bus, train, tram, and ferry dock stations were all less than a 5 minute walk. The room was small with no phone or TV, but it was very clean and fairly new. Our room looked over the... More

We were a little nervous about our booking at In Riva Al Lago after all the reviews we had read but we actually really enjoyed our stay. Yes the rooms have bunk beds instead of doubles and yes there's a curfew for the showers, but when you factor in how much you're paying, the location, the breakfast and the rooms,... More
