"The hotel is about 15 minutes from Como by car, in an industrial area—not charming, but very accessible and practical if you're driving. There’s free parking, and some shopping centres nearby (though not walkable). The value for money is excellent.
Rooms are spacious, the bed a bit soft, and the bathroom basic (limited amenities, no overhead shower), but everything was clean and functional. Breakfast was correct—simple but fine.
The staff at reception were great—friendly and helpful. I arrived without a plan for Como, and they gave me clear, useful advice.
As a tip: despite common advice, I explored Lake Como by car and it worked really well. On a weekday morning I drove to Bellagio in about an hour, stopped in small towns like Nesso and Torno, parked without issue, and even took the ferry to Varenna. Much more flexible than relying on public transport, and the road was far less dramatic than expected. A great option if you're travelling by car."
