Hotel Barchetta Excelsior

very welcoming staff :) great location in the heart of the vibrant ,centre, about 2 mins walk to the lake comfy room & finally good breakfast

The Barchetta Excelsior is in the ideal location in Como. Directly across the street from the lake and ticket offices for excursions. Restaurants and shopping right around the corner. The hotel staff could not have been nicer. The restaurant recommendations were amazing. The rooms are large, comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet is amazing and the staff was very accommodating each morning. Great stay!!

Everything! Fantastic location- facing the lake,opposite where you can get the ferry and right beside all the shops and restaurants- there's even a McDonalds next door. Pay extra for the lake view - it's well worth it!! Room is very clean,comfortable and staff are lovely especially Vima who was so helpful and nice to us when we were checking in.

Location is great, right up against the lake, with superb views, although sadly road construction made it a little noisy and dusty. But can’t be helped. Breakfast was decent, standard continental, good selection, including gluten and dairy free options. Bar was good enough, decent atmosphere, friendly staff, usual array of drinks of offer, a decent whisky selection, large array of single malt scotch (laga 8, laphroaig 10 CS, etc) along with usual array of spirits, wine, beer and some classic Italian cocktails. Restaurant was decent also, some stuff is frozen and re-heated/finished rather than coming from fresh. But some items are fresh. Again, friendly service, a little expensive for what it is. But it’s Como. Most places are about 15% or more above market average, so not terribly surprising considering the location. But atmosphere and service makes it worth it, if feeling lost for a place to eat one evening. Bed is a little firm for our liking, and the air-con in our room didn’t seem to be that effective. But the hotel is excellent and good value given what you get. Staff are also amazing and very helpful. Reception staff are very helpful and always happy to answer any questions. We got a good rundown of local attractions and points of interest, including a decent place or two to eat. Boat times etc. Room was very clean, friendly and efficient turndown service. Cleaned every day. Fresh water bottles, towels, toiletries, toilet paper etc.

A nice hotel in a great location. Despite facing a big square by the lake the room was quiet as the windows are very well soundproofed. The room was big clean and comfortable.
