1.5 / 5.0
The rooms are very small, there was no chest or drawers to put clothes in, I asked for extra pillows and was refused. The pillows were wafer thin. There was no hair conditioner in the shower which was tiny and had a dangerously slippery floor. There was no parking and we had to pay an exorbitant amount to park elsewhere.

There was a hitch in the check in since the hotel wasn’t able to update their records that I canceled the 4th room for my booking. Thankfully, it was quickly settled.
We booked 3 rooms and in one of the rooms, the sink did not drain properly. It wasn’t fixed during the duration of our stay. My family members staying in the room were not able to use the sink. The hotel did offer another room but by then it was already too inconvenient to transfer,
The breakfast had limited options. There was no free bottled water in the rooms.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at Hotel Borgo Antico. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect for taking day trips around Lake Como and to other lakes and cities. It is only a 6 min walk to the train station and bus stop. It is also a 15 min walk to the ferry terminal and a 10-15 min walk to the old town. The street that the hotel is on is very historical with lots of interesting restaurants. Breakfast was delicious with one of the best fruit selections I have ever seen in a hotel breakfast. The rooftop terrace is a lovely place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, this hotel is an excellent home base for exploring Lake Como and the surrounding areas.

The hotel is in an interesting and less touristy part of Como.
We had an unusually bad experience at this hotel. We had two rooms, one of which was fine. The other stank of garbage and sewage. We mentioned this to the late afternoon staff, who said they would tell their manager. Nothing happened. No follow up and no attempt to remedy or apology.
My daughters couldn't sleep due to the smell, even with the window open. When I mentioned the issue, the morning hotel receptionist nodded and said that was because of the construction being done outside by someone. She also said it was our fault because she claimed we had refused to have the room cleaned the day before. We hadn't and it was cleaned.The stench was clearly a known problem, and was well beyond any minor odor issues in a hotel of staleness or disinfectant that one might expect.
In addition, the phone in my room did not work. the first night, the phone rang twice but nobody could be heard. Someone knocked on the door a few minutes later; it was the late afternoon/night receptionist who said I had had hairstyling done that day at a place in town and had not paid. She didn't believe me when I assure her I hadn't. My daughters pointed out the state of my hair, which had clearly not been styled, and she finally left the room, clearly not convinced. All in all, it was an odd stay.
The location is away from the more touristy spots and in an old section, which we liked. Also close to the train station, so convenient.

Charming, clean, beautiful boutique hotel. Close to the train station. But a bit of a walk from the water front and main tourist areas.

Very nice, charming and cozy hotel with good breakfast and great staff. Reasonably walkable but parking was too far with no possibility to walk with luggage and if you bring car in front of the hotel there is a chance that police will give you a ticket.

We were hit with an everwhelming suffocating artificial air smell upon entering the lobby of this property. Apparently they sell these sprays and scented sticks (big display in lobby). So our two nights here were unpleasant. The rooms are outfitted with old fashioned furnishings that provide few places for the guests’ items. The nightingale isn’t bright so our room was a bit depressing. The beds were comfortable and supportive, which we really appreciated. A full breakfast is served daily.

This was an easy walk from the train station and also into the shopping area near the lake. The hotel breakfasts were a real treat; we will miss them when we get home. We had dinner at two different restaurants within a couple of doors from the hotel and both were excellent. Add in comfortable beds and friendly, helpful staff and it was just a super experience.

The hotel is relatively clean and the staff are quite helpful and courteous. During our stay I could hear noisy heavy equipment at night and heavy truck. Seems a construction work nearby.
Otherwise the hotel is fine.

Exceptional stay! This was my best stay through Greek and Italy over the past 2 months. Great location, an easy walk to San Giovanni Train Station, the lake and the town centre.
Both the room and the were exceptionally clean and nice and spacious. Shower had good pressure and hot water. Bed and pillows very comfortable, very quiet, great sleep. Charging points and light switches in good convenient locations.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Would defend stay again and highly recommend!

Breakfast was very good.
Walkable to Como Centro and ferry.

Great find in Lake Como! Front desk and restaurant staff were very helpful. Location to the train station and town is perfect. Off the beaten path but super convenient. Rooms are really large and bathrooms are a good size too.

Our check-in experience at the Hotel Borgo Antica was initially ok. The room wasn’t ready, which was fine. We requested 3 separate beds at check-in, which the attendant confirmed. On return that afternoon, the room wasn’t set up as requested and we were told it would be changed in the morning. The front desk people went to great lengths to “prove” that my request wasn’t in the reservation. Then, the attendant reiterated that the room would be change in the morning and offered a bottle of Prosecco for the trouble. A few minutes later, I received a telephone call saying the room set-up would be changed but there would be no Prosecco. “The customer is always wrong,” I guess. Realizing the absurdity of that statement, the attendant did offer a glass (not a bottle) in the end as the room set-up was being changed. One more thing… I have traveled extensively worldwide for business and pleasure and never was asked to “pay the bill” at check-in.

Charming hotel. So close to the train station. You should contact hotel for walking directions since cabs are scare. The breakfast was very nice. Within an easy 10-15 mins walk to center city & ferry station. Great restaurant next door.The staff are great! They are friendly, helpful & professional. If we ever find ourselves visiting Lake Como again we will surely stay here again.

Great hotel with convenient location to centre of Como. Modern facilities and really friendly staff. Only 'complaint' would be we were given a ground floor room which was close to reception. It was slightly noisy at times and the cleaner was back and forth to the cupboard near our room a lot which was noisy especially first thing. Would definitely stay again but request to not be on the ground floor

This is a solid hotel that you will most likely be happy with. Very old, unique stone staircase takes you to your room. Very convenient bar/dining room for drinks and breakfast on site.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. High-end bathroom fixtures and pretty little rooms. Breakfast is amazing with lots of choices for everyone’s tastes. Breakfast staff are efficient and friendly. This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel.
3.0 / 5.0
The front desk had three attendants. Ilia and Luca specifically were very helpful. The Expedia website advertised lake view from the hotel property with a photo labeled as such. Illia believes Expedia posted the photo in error. We based our booking decision to a large extent on that photo. Ilia made sure it was removed from the Expedia website.
A few suggestions: There should be a refrigerator in the room. There should be more than one one chair in the room, as there is no place to sit but the bed. Lack of soundproofing which we discovered via lots of noise from above every night. The advertised “Terrace” was closed for renovation.
Positives:
-The hotel and room were very clean
-The breakfast was good and the breakfast staff were very efficient.
The air conditioning worked well.
The front desk staff, specifically Ilia and Luca, were great and they gave us some complimentary drinks due to the lake view confusion.
The room was well decorated.
1.0 / 5.0
Arrived to find no fridge in the room, which for a diabetic partner who needs medication refrigerated is disappointing. Had to chase up toilet paper on the third day. Nearby restaurants not open on Sunday and Monday. Worst was the proposed 200 Euro taxi fare to Milan airport which steadily grew as our day progressed. That’s $331 AUD on today’s rates. Left early and caught the train costing us a night’s accommodation. No thanks!!
