Pros +

  • Room was overlooking the lake. It was clean and tidy every day. Breakfast was at an extra cost but good. Receptionists were very helpful with directions on where to catch the bus and restaurants in the vicinity.
  • Location
  • Great location right near the lake

Cons -

  • We were hoping for a kettle in the room to have some tea in the evening but otherwise all was good. A mini fridge would have been lovely too.
  • Breakfast, really does not meet the expectations, for the paid price it is a very poor breakfast. Take better a coffee in any bar outside. Pay attention to hidden more-costs, in the internet offer the taxes are included, by checking our you need to pay.
  • Very simple property a bit dated

Great location with lake view. Not far from free parking and the beach. Excellent start location for exploring the lake and the mountains nearby. The staff is very nice and helpful. Can’t give them enough stars.

The facilities are a bit outdated and worn out. However all was working.

6MuhammadPosted on: 8-19-2024

The location of the property is amazing. Especially the balconies facing the lake.

The hotel is basically not ready for high temperature summer days. The fan is so slow and their is no AC. Its very very difficult to spend a night when the temperature is around 30 degrees C.Secondly, the road infront is very noisy. People rooming on scooters early in the morning and middle of the night.So, imagine a scenerio where the temperature is high, u can barely sleep and u open the balcony windows for air and than there is noise outside. It makes life miserable.

Perfect place to stay in Porlezza, with an amazing view from the balcony, close to everything ,beach,downtown, and restaurants. The staff are just amazing, helpful, and professional. Very good breakfast . Comfortable room and bed. Clean. Toiletries, big bathroom. Parking place on site. Will definitely return back. Booked for one night, then stayed 5 nights.

2AndreasPosted on: 8-7-2024

Don’t even think to book this hotel.

Bad location - Porlezza is not a town to visit.No AC.Unfriendly staff.Breakfast not made by the hotel.Pictures is well fixed, the hotel is not even near as good.Rooms,hallways, elevator is old,

3ReginPosted on: 7-30-2024

View from the balcony is fantastic

No aircon. No fridge. No shower curtain

6AlexanderPosted on: 7-28-2024

Perfect location, especially the view from the “lake view” rooms. However no AC and roll down curtains so once they were down, they had to go up in order to open the balcony door, a bit tedious. Shower head was not too clean. Otherwise no complaint. Super friendly staff and cheap hotel parking. Saturday market just on the street below.

Lovely staffClean and comfortable rooms. Bathroom very modern rooms dated.Fabulous balcony views of the lakeGood Italien breakfast

Rooms need a little updating

8PaulaPosted on: 7-9-2024

Very nice staff - the owner was receptionist, answered all questions, smiled and so. Everything good. Room was nothing special, but had my expectations - big enough, clean, there was good big bed. Towels and toiletries included. Location in the very centre, next to the lake. I was with motorcycle and it was raining cats and dogs, I was not ready to stay in a tent in camping.

Room, ok, was a bit outdated but I did not care. Bathroom ventilator was with a noise, a bit annoying but ok, when light switched off, it does not work. Same thing with sink - when water is running, also noise. Parking is extra money - but ok, on the street it also costs. I had to pay also for motorcycle, but ok.

7PatrickPosted on: 6-22-2024

Great location, good breakfast. Very close to nice downtown area with good restaurants. Parking out front of hotel or on street

Did not have air conditioning or a fan in the room

8MauroPosted on: 6-3-2024

Very friendly staff, nice room with lake view and superb breakfast.

5SharonPosted on: 5-28-2024

The owner himself could not have been more helpful and informative.Location and view of the lake from our room was good.It was 3 * and i thought i'd booked 4* so it was my fault that there was not fridge or tea / coffee making facilities in the room.Room was dated and as it was raining the floor was cold but good value for money as a 3 *

The manager Pablo( or owner)?? was an absolute pleasure! He was helpful and had lots of good advice and suggestions regarding what to do in his small town. The location of the hotel is ideal as well…. if you want to stay in this town! Naively we had expected it to be a little more convenient to get to. The room itself was lovely with a fabulous little balcony overlooking the lake.

Naively we had thought this town was on Lake Como itself and assumed it would be easier to get to. We had to take a train and then a bus which did not run all that frequently. As such when we wanted to go into town but had missed the last morning bus we had a two hour wait to do so. Otherwise, it was a lovely hotel and I would go back and stay there again….. sadly the weather was very cold and rainy for the duration of our stay so we really didn’t enjoy our visit as much as we could have and there was no heat in the room given that this cold weather is atypical for this time of year.

Breakfast was excellent! Variety and freshness! Loved the cappuccino! And the cheese! Love the view from the room! My room #14 offered two widowed and two balconies! Amazing! I really want to thank Pablo for his advice and great service! Give him a raise! :-)

There is NO Air conditioning in the room! And no frigo bar! I usually do not consume the beverages from the fridge but I love my cold water! Please bring back frigobar and put AC. Just for clarification: the night was cool enough not to need AC but I am considering in returning to the city in the summer… and the lack of AC makes me wonder how will I survive the high temperatures! Thank youAlso there was no shower but a bathtub! It is more practical to have a standing shower !!!

What a fabulous location! Incredible views, and a wonderful town to explore. The staff kindly gave us a surprise upgrade to a corner room with a double balcony/window. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was comfortable.

Unfortunately, the pool was closed during our stay, and we didn't have time to try the spa / wellness facilities.

Great Location with lake view, friendly staff, cleanliness, modern bathroom and large shower, varied breakfast.

No A/C during very hot summer week.

2BoguslawPosted on: 9-1-2023

Location direct on lake

I have booked double room online but single room with an extra request to pay 179EUR for premium room??? They told that only such room is available but hotel was almost empty. Breakfast was very simply and no warm meals available at all.
