Lovely hotel

Nice hotel right on the lake which gave us a stunning view to look out on. Rooms were basic but clean. Breakfast was nice with a continental offer and able to sit looking over the lake. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would return again

Very good value for the room price. Staff was helpful with busses and boat questions. I got a handicap room, not what I thought I'd booked, but it was fine. Loved my view of the lake.

I booked a room with a balcony through Expedia, but upon arrival, we were told we couldn’t have it because we were staying only one night. The receptionist explained that those rooms are reserved for guests with longer stays. Additionally, the hotel is clearly short-staffed. Only one person seemed to be handling everything, and she prioritized her own convenience over guests’ experience. For example, although there are lovely outdoor tables with amazing views for breakfast, she refused to let us sit outside, saying it was too difficult for her to serve both inside and outside tables. The only positives were a clean bed and bathroom, which is why I gave 2 stars. Overall, very disappointing.

Hotel Rivera is on a quiet avenue just in front of the lake. At the corner the bus takes you to Lake Como in about 50 minutes which is great. They have a continental breakfast. The hotel is very close to Villa Del Balbianello!!

Wonderful location to explore Lake Como

Great location beside the water in Griante with views across to Bellagio. For 20 euro take C10 bus along lakefront to Como town bus terminus, then slow ferry along Lake Como to Bellagio, then car ferry back to Griante / Cadenabba for a full day explore very cheaply.

The absolute best thing about the Hotel Riviera was the staff. Friendly, welcoming, helpful. Sylvia is an angel. We had several conversations about family and life. Their ristorante was excellent and the waiters professional. The Hotel Riviera is a gem. It is about 200 meters from the ferry which takes you across the lake to Bellagio in 10 minutes It is considerably less expensive than any accommodation over there. If you’re looking for an economical alternative to the overpriced 5 star hotels along Lake Como, stay here. Tell Sylvia that I sent you.

Great B&B on Lake Como

Such a beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the lake! Great value for your money, you could probably go broke staying on Lake Como but this B&B was in a great location and was so reasonably priced! Breakfast was wonderful. Check in was easy and the lady at the front desk was so kind a welcoming. It’s located in one of the smaller towns around Lake Como but there are a. Couple of restaurants nearby that are easy to walk to. Convenient parking.

Loved this cute little find, the room was so cozy for one, and the food from the bar next door was incredible! so easy to access by bus of by ferry. Had a good sleep, but quite a firm mattress and maybe a second pillow wouldn’t go astray for next time.
