Clean rooms. Breakfast. Host.

Price

it is very clean and organized. the host is helpful.

the wifi was not reaching my bed when I was trying to work from the room. the host doesn’t not speak english, it made it hard to communicate. the location is literally next to Switzerland so when you take the train you pay in swiss frank. as a solo traveler, i would prefer a hostel cause the community is more helpful. I also found the wife of the owner in my room without permission and I didn’t ask for her to clean

Great price/ value. Warm reception and support.

Everything was fine.

Close to the station and restaurants

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like

The owner is courteous and my room and common areas were spotless and comfortably. The sheets and linens were clean and fresh.

The host is a superb guy - very helpful and kind. He set up 3 single beds for our 3 kids even though we booked only 2. Free parking and nice firm beds. Very nice building, quite even though it's right next to the railways.

Bathroom was private but separate from the room. The room was a bit small for the price we paid.

Giuseppe was very nice and was helping me out when I felt lost, was in touch via whatsapp all the time. This spot is great for a short stay, 8minutes' walk to the border with Switzerland. I really recommend it as a budget option when visiting Como Lake area :)

This property is, as the name suggests. right after crossing the border from Switzerland to Italy, on the Italian side. In this sense it is very convenient as a pit stop, as you don't need to deviate from the itinerary almost at all. The owner is very nice and he accommodated our very late arrival.

The room and breakfast were very basic (one packaged croissant and coffee/ glass of milk per person). The bathroom and small kitchen corner were not in the room, but fairly close by. The parking space we booked / paid for was taken by someone else (but a solution was found on the street).

Owner and Location

None

Central location in Como, friendly service by owner.

The room was located in an apartment with a shared kitchen and bathroom. That was not mentioned at all when I made the booking. Parking was charged with € 7,- which is ok, but it would be nice to know it before checking out. It would be fair to know all details before booking a room.

Joseph Confine exceptionally friendly and accommodating, made me feel welcome from the first moment to the last. Location few minutes walk from station. Apartment warm and comfortable during the rainy days I was around. New, modern fittings in room and bathroom. Bathroom spacious and well-cleaned. Quiet and peaceful in my room, despite the place being fully booked and near to railway.

owner/operator very pleasant

sharing bathroom

away from town but easy bus ride

nothing

A very handy place less than 10 minutes walk from Chiasso station, through the border post, which is staffed 24/7 and unless you are stopped you just walk through. It is down an alley towards the railway. Joseph who runs it is very friendly and offers no-frills budget rooms at a fair price. Bus route 1 runs frequently from the bus stop within a few yards of the alley into Como, or there are fairly frequent local trains to Lugano, Como and Milano. Avoid the EC trains as they require a reservation and payment of a supplement. My room was fairly basic but has all that is required, sharing a small kitchen and bathroom with one other room. All spotlessly clean. Breakfast is croissant, jam, nutella spread, coffee, an apple, and orange juice, served in the garden or next to the small kitchen, at a time agreed with Joseph.

I struggle with firm and high pillows, and the one here was a bit difficult for me, but I got round it. With the window open you can hear passing traffic on the main road at the end of the alley and the trains at the other end, but with the window closed it is very quiet.

property very comfortable and good value

no complaints about property

Nice people stay here, helpful owner. The location near railway, but there no noise with closed windows.

Suitable only for night stay, the owner didnt allowed to stay after 10 a.m.
