Well located and comforhotel at a reasonable price

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Centrale. The room was comfortable and quiet with pleasant view over adjoining garden and church. Hotel was very well located for ferry services and waterfront and breakfast was excellent. I am sure there are more glamorous places to stay in Cernobbio, but this fitted the bill and was reasonably priced.

Lovely spot in the heart of Cernobbio. Can walk to the park at the waterfront and hop on the ferry to any spot on Lake Como. It was spotless, the people were super friendly and helpful (and humored me for trying to speak Italian). It had the most delicious breakfast with a huge selection of items - scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, truly crispy bacon, along with a full assortment of breads, meats, cheeses, croissants, jams, cakes, cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit, and juices. And a coffee machine I would like to import for my kitchen. We all loved it. And, as my 12-yr-old pointed out, it’s across the street from a bakery AND a gelato shop. Perfetto!

Cancelled my stay before arriving but was not able to get any form of reimbursement. I had significant mental health issues that prohibited me from coming to Milan from the states. It seems like this company does not take mental health seriously.
