We stayed at room 1418 on the 4th floor, checked in on 26.07.26 for 1 week We had the best time the hotel was spotlessly clean, very friendly staff, Breakfast was great lots of variety (coffee was very good 😉) Staff go above and beyond to help with anything, they even put a birthday cake in the room for my husbands birthday and a card wishing him a happy birthday 😀 such a lovely gesture. Overall we had the best time and would recommend this hotel we will definitely be trying the new mama shelter that is opening the end of the year at lake como. Thank you for a woulderful week xx
