we chose the Quarcino because it was near a train station (yes), and wasn't too expensive. It's on the east side of town, near the secondary train station. It is better to catch a train that puts you into the other station, and then either walk across town, or take a cab. You'll have more choices that way, and fewer... More

Stayed for one night with my fiance on a road trip round this part of Europe. I was only able to book a triple room online, but was told on arrival I should have called as they had doubles free, so worth a call even if showing as booked & one of the four staff I encountered spoke good English....

Highly recommend this charming hotel, in a perfect location near the lake, close to Funicolare, ferries, and centro storico - great value for Como. Don't be put off by negative comments about the bells.........yes, they do chime at around 7.30 - 8 am, but this is common in towns and villages all over Italy and if there is a church... More

The couple who run the hotel were so friendly and homely. The room was simple and decorated in an Italian cottage style. All very clean and most of the staff spoke English. Typical Italian breakfast. The church bells have to be mentioned, they made the stay for us but if you like to sleep late maybe they would be a... More

We booked the day before as we only wanted one night. We were shown to a large and clean room. Staff were polite and accommodating - spoke English, didn't see anyone particularly 'old' (see earlier review). Breakfast was adequate. Can't fault the hotel - it is what it is, and I've certainly stayed at worse hotels with higher ratings. It's... More

Hotel is clean, quite newly renovated. Owners are old and speak very little eng. Their hospitality is just exceptional. We stayed here for 6 nights and, of curse, had quite problem with the bells every morning. When you get use to it this is fairly nice place to stay in Como. Rooms are nice, city center and all turist locations... More

Hotel was what you would expect from a small two star hotel. Staff were old, but friendly and old fashioned. Don't expect an elaborate computer print out of your bill, good old hand written receipt. Room was small with a single bed. Hotel was close enough to walk to the centre of town and any major attractions. Only issue I... More

We were very nicely received by the owners and staff who are all very friendly and accomodating. So to respect their good work, I will start with the bad things about this hotel and finish with the good things to leave you with a better impression. So, what's wrong ? - The church bells ... The hotel practically touches a... More

We stayed here for 4 days and enjoyed the hotel very much. It's well located and the people who run it are very helpful. However, not all the staff speaks English very well and this can be a problem for some. (My wife speaks fluent Italian.) Also, there is a church right next door which rings its bells starting at...
