Breakfast

For those preferring a more extensive selection, the breakfast may seem basic and repetitive with some reviews pointing out its simplicity and primarily sweet focus. Despite this, the quality of the provided items, like the croissants and coffee, often mitigates these concerns for many guests.
A few reviews mention logistical issues, like breakfast timing not matching the advertised schedule or having to take breakfast in the room due to Covid regulations. There are also mentions of pre-packaged products, which were less well-received.
Overall, while not extravagant, the breakfast at Hotel Como is generally seen as a solid, satisfactory start to the day, particularly for those enjoying traditional Italian breakfast items.
Rooms
However, several reviews hint at inconsistencies. Rooms are described as outdated with broken furniture, minimalistic decor and occasionally unpleasant smells. Soundproofing appears to be a recurring issue, especially for rooms on the ground floor or facing the street, leading to noisy stays for some guests.
Functional issues such as no hot water, broken appliances and dim lighting are mentioned. Guests often felt the rooms were not as advertised with deluxe rooms lacking expected features. Small dimensions and cramped spaces were a frequent point of contention.
On a positive note, rooms with modern renovations, clean bathrooms and functional air conditioning received appreciative mentions. The hotel’s location is convenient, although some aesthetic and maintenance improvements are suggested.
In brief, staying at Hotel Como seems to deliver a mixture of satisfactory cleanliness and convenience, but with room for significant updates and consistency improvements to elevate the overall guest experience.
Beds
However, there are several areas where the beds could use improvement. The beds are frequently described as small and narrow, often cited as being around 120-121 cm wide, which many found inadequate for two people. Complaints about hardness were common with mattresses often being mentioned as too firm or worn-out with some even having protruding springs that compromised comfort. Inconsistent comfort levels were noted, as some beds were more comfortable than others and there were mentions of soft pillows, loose bedding and some beds being lumpy or having a dip in the mattress.
Overall, while some guests appreciated the comfort of the beds, a significant number have pointed out the need for updates and better maintenance to enhance the sleeping experience at Hotel Como.
Cleanliness
On the positive side, guests describe the property as clean, tidy and comfortable.

The clean, modern aesthetic of the rooms adds to a positive stay experience. Some guests also appreciate the hotel's clean and welcoming environment, which is consistent with its classification, often surpassing their expectations.
However, there are significant criticisms that cannot be overlooked. A number of guests report encountering dirty towels, mold in the bathrooms and poorly maintained room fixtures. Issues such as rust, broken furniture and stained chairs were mentioned, detracting from the overall experience. Some reviews pointed out specific problems like dusty rooms, clogged drains and occasional poor odor management.
Moreover, certain areas appear to have been neglected with some guests noting that while rooms are cleaned daily, corners, closets and some fixtures could do with a more thorough cleaning. The presence of ants and run-down interiors, combined with reports of inadequate soundproofing and aged facilities, suggest that the hotel needs to address these cleaning and maintenance issues systematically.
In conclusion, while Hotel Como generally maintains a decent level of cleanliness with modern, well-maintained rooms and diligent cleaning service, its reputation is marred by recurring issues in certain areas, which require attention to elevate the guest experience uniformly across the board.
