Hotels near Civic Art Gallery, Como

There's really nothing to complain about. The location is excellent, and it's the only hostel in Como that has air conditioning! I was so relieved. The kitchen is huge, and they even provide free vegetables and pasta. It's a bit on the expensive side, so I strategically chose to stay on a Wednesday, which was the cheapest day. Just a heads up, Thursday to Saturday rates are quite high.

One of the best experiences we had with our twice annual travel destinations.  The RentComo location was in the heart of the city, nestled in one of the quaint shopping streets, and walking distance to all the typical tourist stops.  Very nice going back to the apartment each evening, opening the windows and listening to the tourists and locals finishing their shopping or going for dinner.  Very nice apartment with all the comforts; so much more relaxing than the standard hotel room stay.

✨ Hotel Review – Lake Como (Hilton Lake Como) Hilton Lake Como The hotel is absolutely beautiful 🤍 — modern with a stylish Italian design throughout, from the lobby to the rooms. Everything feels new, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The room was a highlight — spacious, very clean, and extremely comfortable. All the basic amenities were well provided, making the stay easy and relaxing. One of the best parts is the rooftop swimming pool — stunning views, great atmosphere, and perfect for photos, especially around sunset 🌅 👉 One downside to note: The location is a bit far from Como city center. * There is a bus stop near the hotel, but buses can be unreliable and not always on time * Walking to the center is about 1–2 km, doable but not ideal (especially with kids or elderly travelers) 💡 Overall: Perfect for a relaxing stay in a beautiful, design-focused hotel. Best if you’re planning to use taxis or have a car, rather than relying on public transportation.

L’hôtel est situé dans une zone industrielle, à environ 10 à 15 minutes en voiture du centre de Côme. L’établissement est récent, propre, avec des installations modernes et bien entretenues. On sent une volonté de viser un standing plus élevé, peut-être celui d’un 5 étoiles selon le directeur. Malheureusement, certaines pratiques vont totalement à l’encontre de cette ambition. Le parking est facturé 18€/jour, ce qui me semble exagéré étant donné l’emplacement hors centre-ville et la présence d’un grand parking gratuit pour d’autres usagers (notamment les joueurs de padel). Cela donne l’impression que les clients de l’hôtel sont pénalisés sans raison valable. Le petit déjeuner est très limité pour un hôtel de ce niveau : le buffet est incomplet, certains plats sont payants et doivent être commandés séparément, et il n’y avait même pas de jus d’orange, ni sur le buffet ni à la carte — seulement de l’eau et du lait. C’est loin des standards d’un 4 ou 5 étoiles. Les capsules de café dans la chambre sont facturées 1,50€, ce qui est surprenant et décevant pour un établissement qui prétend offrir un service haut de gamme. Dans la grande majorité des hôtels 4 ou 5 étoiles, ce genre de prestation est inclus. Cela donne une impression de mesquinerie, en contradiction avec l’image que l’hôtel essaie de projeter. Le point le plus dérangeant : le personnel est entré dans ma chambre le soir, sans m’avoir prévenu, pour effectuer un « service de rangement ». Je n’avais rien demandé, et j’ai constaté que certains de mes effets personnels avaient été déplacés. Je n’aime pas que l’on entre dans ma chambre sans mon autorisation explicite, ni sans m’en avoir informé au préalable. Cela m’a mis très mal à l’aise. Qu’un ménage soit fait le soir peut être un service apprécié par certains, mais il doit être clairement annoncé ou demandé. J’ai exprimé mon mécontentement au directeur. Plutôt que d’écouter mes remarques, il m’a répondu de manière condescendante, insinuant que je n’avais « pas l’habitude de fréquenter des hôtels 5 étoiles » et que ce genre de pratiques était, selon lui, tout à fait normales. Une réponse hautaine et déplacée, loin de l’accueil et du professionnalisme attendus dans ce type d’établissement. En guise de compensation, le directeur m’a offert la capsule de café à 1,50€. J’espère que cet avis aidera les futurs clients à avoir une vision plus réaliste de cet hôtel. Pour ma part, malgré la qualité des installations, je ne le recommanderai pas. Le service client, l’écoute et le respect de l’intimité ne sont pas au rendez-vous.

The next day I stayed, I changed the new room, this room is also very good, that is, there is no towel rod on the side of the sink, which is a bit inconvenient. In addition, although the breakfast is exquisite, it does not change the way. If you live for a lot of days, it will be boring.

I had an amazing experience during my stay at Hotel Metropol Suisse-Como.The central location with stunning lake views made the visit even more special. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every single day, and the standard of cleanliness was outstanding. The staff throughout the hotel were incredibly caring and polite. The bar staff were always friendly and attentive, and the food in the restaurant was absolutely delicious. I was genuinely impressed that the team even remembered exactly how I like my coffee — such a thoughtful touch that made me feel truly valued as a guest. I was travelling with my mum, who has mobility difficulties, and the staff went above and beyond for her. They were always ready to help, often running to open the doors for her without us even asking. Their kindness really meant a lot to us. A special mention goes to Elvira, who was wonderfully attentive and polite during breakfast every morning. She always asked about our experience and made sure we had everything we needed. The reception staff were also outstanding, regularly checking if there was anything more they could do to make our stay even better. The food in the restaurant was superb, and it was lovely to see the owner present and engaging with guests to make sure everyone was happy. Overall, it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. I cannot praise the hotel enough and will definitely be returning again and again. Highly recommended!

I stayed here for one night before traveling to Lake Como and Milan. The facilities were excellent and breakfast was included. The lake was also close by. Overall, I had a great day! I'll come again!

Amazing staff and the hotel is so beautiful.great location, central to everything. Funicular is just 2 mins away and the station is just next turn. Located just overlooking the beautiful lake como. A must visit to this place and hotel try and book the room facing the lake. Unfortunately when we tried it was completely full. Breakfast is really good and all staff were extremely courteous. Loved loved loved it

The location itself is convenient, but unfortunately the overall experience didn’t match the price point. At check‑in, the staff was friendly and warm — and that was honestly the best part of the stay. The property is more like an Airbnb with no reception. The staff provided us basic information through WhatsApp. Although the name hotel is misleading and the Airbnb type style is not what we expected, the arrangement works fine with us. The room felt dated and didn’t give the impression of being properly clean. Even small details, like the towels, were disappointing; they didn’t seem fully dry and the quality was lacking. Breakfast was another letdown. We weren’t aware beforehand that it wasn’t served on‑site but instead at a café about a four‑minute walk away. While this might be fine on a sunny morning, during our stay it was raining in Como, and having to go outside just to get breakfast was far from ideal. Overall, Convo Lake Como feels overpriced for what it offers. Between the dated rooms, lack of on‑site breakfast, and underwhelming amenities, I believe there are better choices in the area that provide more comfort and value for the same or even lower cost.

The location is really good and the boss is friendly. Basically, water, tea, coffee, towels and soap are ready, but you have to bring shampoo and other shower supplies! There is a restaurant under the hostel and very close to the lake!
