Hotel Borgovico

A wonderful family run hotel near the lake and not far from the city centre of Como. Newly renovated to a high standard (flat screen TV etc.). Very friendly staff. A trattoria with the same name (and I guess the same owners) is a few houses further in the street. Very good pizza and house wine. I loved Lake Como! It's such a beautiful place. Be sure to take a boat to Tremezzo (villa Carlotta) and Bellagio (villa Melzi - such a wonderful garden! I was sitting on a bench and I heard nothing but the birds and the water against the shore. Heaven.). The views ars spectacular. It's like wherever you look, it is beautiful with nothing spoiling the view. I can see why George Clooney likes it here.

That's crazy! It was not possible to talk with the receptionist, he was not able to understand any kind of language, he was speaking only italian...... Damm, you are an Hotel in a tourist place with also expensive rooms That's not accettable

Unlike the picture, the clean rooms are very small. Beds are comfortable. The most difficult part is access to the rooms, as most of the rooms are above or below the level where the elevator opens. Friendly staff that spoke functional English. Expensive breakfast with limited offerings.

Nice small hotel within less than a 10 min walk from train station. We were put in a family suite (easily fits 4) even though there were only 2 of us traveling together. It was also across the small courtyard from other rooms in the hotel and up a flight of stairs. If you have a lot or heavy luggage just be prepared (the staff was very helpful in getting the luggage up) otherwise there's an elevator in the main building if that's where you're staying. Beds were comfortable with a queen on the main floor and 2 twins in a loft area. The loft is not bad for the night but the stairs to the loft are a little dicey so use the handrail. Large bathroom/wet room. There was a tea kettle and tea amenities which helped. You can feel/hear the trains go by but not very loudly so if a light sleeper, earplugs should do the trick and they do stop around midnight and don't start again until around 0630 or 0700.  We didn't have breakfast at the hotel. City center was about a 15 min walk away and the water/lake was less than 10 min away. There is a grocery store about 5 min away and plenty of shopping and restaurants within an easy 20 min walk. Staff was very nice, professional, and helpful with information. I would recommend staying here.
