Lock in a great price for Hotel Royal Victoria – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

A first class hotel. Would recommend to others. Would stay again if returning to Lake Como.

Alan, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel, luxury, with great views of the lake. We went for a suite so not cheap but Como was the highlight of the holiday so treated ourselves. Food great, really enjoyed it. We went to the restaurant last year so wanted to stay there this. would go back in a heart beat.

James, United Kingdom

Loved swimming in the pool and the lake. The view from our very large room was spectacular with a 180 degree view of the lake and the mountains. Nice lakefront promenade near the hotel offering a beautiful walk to the ferry docks. Nice restaurants nearby. Received two bottles of water for each day we were there. Nice breakfast with VERY strong coffee.

Peter, United States of America

Superb views from the hotel of the lake. Lovely swimming pool and excellent food.

Alistair, Isle of Man

The atmospher of the hotel was very calm and relaxing. Just a great place from which to visit Lake Como attractions or to sit around the pool. Our dinner overlooking the lake was a highlight.

Judy, Australia

Location,clean, easy to reach, central location on lake.

Benjamin, United Kingdom

The hotel was beautiful and the staff members were very helpful, especially the gentleman at the front desk and the bartender/waiter, Michele.

Laura, United States of America

The hotel was wonderful - beautiful views over the lake, wonderful pool, direct access to the lake with boats coming to their port if you booked, lovely friendly staff, good bar area, excellent breakfast with everything you could possibly want. We were in junior suite room 136 which was by far the largest room with lovely balconly on top floor with a huge bath and brand new bathroom with large shower with great water pressure

Heidi, United Kingdom

Fantastic view and good standard of accommodation in a very nice location

“You're paying for proximity to the lake, but you won't get a view and don't let the 'beach' fool you”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Photos of the hotel are of renovated areas, the overall feel of the hotel is considerably less than what is presented. The rooms are basic, the beds very uncomfortable (classic European move of having two single beds pushed together), the room we had was facing a noisey alley, the lobby and 'ballroom' area are old and not at all similar to other $300+ a night hotels we stayed at prior to this. The 'beach' out front is public access and is what I would describe as disgusting. Trash, cigarette butts, flotsam. I saved for this 'nice' hotel and was severely disappointed. Overall Varenna felt like a very touristy and overpriced area. I would look elsewhere on Lake Como.
눇Location by the lakes edge, the lounge area in the sun was nice.

눇Beautiful hotel. Breakfast rather good. Most of staff was great (but not all). Wifi was weak and slow. Overall, though, Varenna was best choice for us on the lake, Royal Victoria is definitely the best place to stay, and we'd stay there again.

눉Car parking wasn't great, had to park down the road in a public car park. €20 a night.

눉Breakfast is just so so. For a piece of smoked salmon or for an omelette you have to pay extra. Incredible for this price category!! And even on Sunday breakfast only until 10 a.m. The hotel bar is already closing at 11p.m. Although there was a group of 20+ customers they didn't intend to prolong. The Junior Suite was a big room, with nice lake view. But very old fashioned furniture. The aircon too weak to give comfortable temperature on a warm summer day
눇The location is really unique and beautiful.

“Beautiful setting on gorgeous lake Como”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Lake View
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉We didn't get off to a good start with the staff. We were given instructions on how to find the car parking and whilst this was easy we had trouble finding the exact spot. We think this was because we had to go through an area clearly marked restricted entry and we hadn't been told to do this so we ended up on a tour of the car park. We mentioned this on check-in and were told quite rudely that is was all very clear. The implication was that we were unable to follow instructions. We did point out that most things are easy if you know how they work but the woman on check in seemed determined it was our mistake. We are usually very laid back but we had arrived after a frustrating journey as our sat nav had stopped working and the last thing we needed was a member of staff determined to prove they are right. In my experience if you are going to ask people how something was then you need to be prepared for some not to have had a good experience & listen to what they had a problem with (even if you think they're stupid!) Arguing with them & trying to get them to agree something is easy when they have not found it so does not make for a good start......Anyhow.....things did pick up with them over the days we stayed and they are actually usually helpful...we caught them on an off afternoon perhaps? Similarly the staff at breakfast were very grumpy, slow and not particularly helpful. We tried 3 times to get a decent coffee and eventually gave up & resorted to tea (my husband) & bought in instant coffee (me) for subsequent breakfasts. The coffee was burnt and lukewarm at best. Bad coffee is almost an achievement in Italy! We realised why the waiting staff were so grumpy later on when we saw the same staff vacuuming stairs mid morning & then waiting dinner tables late into the evening. Perhaps a few more staff would help. Also the ones they had were very young and seemed to lack direction.
눇The views are amazing! We stayed in a lake view room & we're so glad we did, waking up to Lake Como every day was incredible. Views from the terrace are also wonderful. Varenna is a really pretty little village right on Lake Como & we loved being able to hop on and off boats to visit nearby towns & villages. The pool is lovely, if a little small and the staff in the poolside bar very helpful, we had lunch there on the last day and it was delicious. Our room was lovely with a gorgeous view from the balcony and a small but very clean bathroom.

“Como perfetto”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Lake View
- • Stayed 4 nights
눇Room (105) had small terrace with table & chairs and perfect view of the lake. Full breakfast buffet including good fresh coffee, prosecco and the enchanting lake view. Delightful pool, with walk in steps, water jets, water spouts and a fascinating sundial. Nice terraces for sunbathing or shady loggia and full bar. Next to a tiny town beach if you want to swim in the lake, and a landing stage for private boat drop-off. Good location in the town square hosting local produce market, very small food shop and local bar with takeaway drinks & paninis. Very close to old town bars and restaurants. 5 min walk to the ferry piers (passenger & vehicle) along the lakeside. Short walk to Villa Monastero. 10 min walk to train station. So much better to have a view of Bellagio than to stay there!
