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

to get started.

A little gem of a hotel. Varenna turned out to be a perfect village on Lake Como. There are many to choose from and having never visited before we had to choose "blind". Take my advice - Varenna has the best combination and makes an ideal base to explore Lake Como. The hotel is perfectly located, right on the lake, with all the facilities you need for such a holiday. We wondered about upgrading to a Lake view, but frankly you see the lake all day and evening so it is not worth the extra (at any hotel, not just this one). Get to know the bar staff at the hotel - they are excellent and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel

Absolutely beautiful & convenient location. Loved the balcony to sit on and see the lake and great view of Bellagio. Totally recommend this location. LOVED it!

Susan, United States of America

A beautiful location on Lake Como with lake view rooms. The hotel is comfortably luxurious, the rooms are sparkling clean with very nice baths with tiled shower and rain shower head. The staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed dinner two nights in the Pizza Grille which was a lot of fun and one night in the gourmet restaurant. Sitting on the terrace having a drink with the lake below is absolute decadence. Hotel Royal Victoria is also a great base for exploring Varenna and Lake Como in general.

Breakfast was excellent and yes, the eggs were very fluffy. It was also very nice to have the opportunity to make your own soft boiled eggs. The special Easter cake was a real treat. And we especially enjoyed the blueberry juice. It was so convenient to have a small refrigerator in the room and the coffee/tea station - with chocolates - was greatly appreciated. We had a view of the lake and so it was so special to awaken every morning and watch the sun come up!

Allan, United States of America

The room was spacious and beautifully appointed. Stefania is absolutely the best, a gracious and charming lady with true concern for her guests and her hotel. The views at breakfast are breathtaking and the food was delicious.

Joseph, United States of America

Beautiful hotel situated on the shore of the lake. Excellent facilities and location. Wonderful breakfast.

Jimslo, United States of America

I loved the breakfast. It included Mimosas. It had the best pastries. The hotel restaurant was worth the money. The food was splendid.

“Fabulous views but needs another bar or a lift to the existing one.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room with Lake View
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉The hotel is set in the hillside The only bar is down at sea level by the swimming pool and the only way to access it is through the dining room and down 36 steps - there is no lift!!
눇They recognised my birthday with a tiny cake and candle. The view across Lake Como was lovely

“Perfect romantic spot on a glorious Italian lake”
- • Leisure trip

눉Like many hotels, they really don't consider the needs of people leaving late afternoon who want to get changed before travelling having checked out. All hotels should consider a simple facility but most just show you to the toilet to change. I really do not intend that as a criticism of this hotel, but hotels in general. For this hotel, WiFi speeds were very slow, but hey we were on holiday so no big deal.....

눉The room smelled a little musty when we got there and it is very spartan - not like the pictures. And drinks were very expensive compared to other places we stopped.
눇The air conditioning was strong and the tables overlooking the lake were stunningly beautiful.

“Luxurious relaxation”

눉I didn't have a bedside table. It's obvious the room dates from a much earlier time when king size beds weren't so common in hotels, which is why there was no table. Despite the historic ambiance of the hotel, which I love, our bathroom was very modern and well appointed.
눇The complimentary breakfast was delicious with great variety and even gluten free offerings and champagne. Our room had a small balcony we could stand on and look at the lake. Everyone was friendly and accommodating.

“Great views of the lake.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Lake View
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The restaurants were nice but over-priced given our experience throughout our trip in Italy. We departed on the train in the early a.m., so we missed the breakfast part of our package. We were given a bag to go, which included two dry sandwiches (two pieces of bread with meat but nothing else) and two oranges. There were no condiments to put on the sandwich and no utensils. Some pastries, which were available in the restaurant, would have been appreciated and would have been more in keeping with breakfast. This was very disappointing and not what one expects from a nice hotel.
눇The view was spectacular. A lakeside room is a must. The staff was friendly and the location of the hotel was superb.

“Won't return again....”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉WIFI was incredibly slow. Rooms were very small and bathroom in particular was small. Housekeeper turned our AC off on the first day so we hid the remote from her after that. I was in severe hip pain and we needed to return several days early to get an MRI. The hotel made us pay for the last night even though we gave them plenty of notice. They said we had a contract. It turns out I had a broken hip which was the reason for the pain. I think this is enough reason to refund our room.
눇Convenient location. They provided a generous to-go breakfast on the morning of departure.
