Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Borgo Antico

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.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. Our room was clean, very comfortable, and quiet. The location was perfect for our walking needs in Como.

6 of us (3 couples) had a lovely stay last week, mid October. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the rooms were bigger than you would expect. The closest train station is Como San Giovani and when you come out of the station you go down the steps directly in front of you into the park and find your way from there, it's not far. It's an easy walk into Como and to the lake, the hotel is in a very convenient location.

This hotel is a wonderful and convenient hotel. Close to train station, very walkable and good location for all transport around Lake Como. The staff was amazing and very helpful. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. We would defintely choose this hotel again on a future stay in Lake Como

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.

Good location. Walkable to the lake and into town. Staff nice and helpful. Our room had a very small terrace that was unusable because we couldn't get the door open. The only view of a garage was blocked anyway. Lake Como is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautifuly decorated and quaint hotel with lovely access to the evening garden terrace to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine. Hotel has an authentic, Italian ambiance and was about a 7-minute walk from the train station and about a 10-15 minute walk to Lake Como - perfect for meandering the streets of Como and taking in their historical architecture. Ilenia, the hotel manager, went out of her way to assist our small group of four was very accommodating. She even booked our dinner reservations to the Gazzetto Osteria a couple of doors down. (Highly recommend their house red wine as well as the Focaccia bread for an appetizer and either the Ravioli or the Gnocchetti - delizioso! We ate there two nights in a row!) Continental breakfast was elegantly provided and, once again, the hotel provided more than what we as Americans culturally understand as "continental breakfast" (only a few pieces of fruit and pastries). We had a wide selection of Italian delicious Italian pastries, fruit that was whole or freshly cut and presented well, selection of cheeses, meats, yogurts and various spreads; freshly made hard-boiled eggs and toast available as self-serve, too. Fresh espresso, cappuccino, latte or macchiato available to order as part of the breakfast as well.

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.

Kind staff. Clean safe room.

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.

The hotel was clean and air conditioning was excellent. Shower was amazing.

Staff was very attentive. Hotel had a lot of charm and was close to train station.

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.

Only stayed one evening on our wat to Switzerland.Lovely hotel. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were clean. The location was walkable to the Lake and shopping nearby. Great breakfast the next morning (included in our stay)

Service was amazing! Staff was so helpful with recommendations!

Really nice hotel near the train station. Great way to see Como and surrounding area. The staff are super nice and helpful. Room is clean, spacious, and just a pleasure to be in. They have a shared terrace space which is also fantastic.

A hotel well maintained with pride. Extremely helpful staff. Great location if you are taking the train.

We lucked out on this place it was just a walking distance to everything. We love the convenience! The room were okay it was just great for 3 girls traveling and don’t wanna spend too much money for the hotel. But we love this hotel it was very cute and clean!
