Accoglienza ottima anche fuori orario check-in. Cordiali, disponibili, gentili. La struttura è chiaramente vecchia ma pulita. Lenzuola e asciugamani puliti. E per chi sarà fortunato come noi ... vista spettacolare sul lago! Unica nota negativa è il ristorante sotto l'albergo, quindi rumore e odori di cucina. A noi però non ha dato nessun fastidio, nulla di diverso da un albergo in riviera. ##### Luisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ibis Milano Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Ibis-Milano-Centro.h905544.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Sheraton-Milan-Malpensa-Airport-Hotel-Conference-Center.h3773290.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli President Milano Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-NH-Collection-Milano-President.h2095.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel Milan by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-Milan-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h17036706.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Rosa-Grand-Milano-Starhotels-Collezione.h2875.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa, by R Collection Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Menaggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Victoria-Concept-Spa.h44262769.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Palazzo-Touring-Club.h64665804.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bellavista](https://www.expedia.ca/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Bellavista.h3644157.Hotel-Information) > > [Filario Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Lezzeno-Hotels-Filario-Hotel-Residences.h10633580.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo Antico](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-Antico.h6385877.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellagio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Villa-Serbelloni.h903773.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Palace, Milan](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-The-Westin-Palace.h7794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Glam Milano](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Hotel-Glam-Milano.h2521132.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Da Vinci](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Hotel-Da-Vinci.h10110341.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Berna](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Hotel-Berna.h26287.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mojito](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravedona-Hotels-Hotel-Mojito.h35249977.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Hive Milano](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Urban-Hive-Milano.h13018.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Milan - Garibaldi Station by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Milan-Garibaldi-Station.h922236.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Cipressi - by R Collection Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Varenna-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Cipressi.h22199491.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Imperiale & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Moltrasio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Imperiale-Resort.h34138.Hotel-Information) > > [Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda](https://www.expedia.ca/Gargnano-Hotels-Lefay-Resort-SPA-Lago-Di-Garda.h2239660.Hotel-Information) > > [The Square Milano Duomo - Preferred Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-The-Square-Milano-Duomo-Preferred-Hotels-Resorts.h9385755.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Fasano](https://www.expedia.ca/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Fasano.h2688657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Flori](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Flori.h7434.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Tremezzo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tremezzina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Tremezzo.h58946683.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Milano](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Milano.h12681.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Milan](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Milan.h1649038.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Milano](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Melia-Milano.h662486.Hotel-Information) > > [Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan](https://www.expedia.ca/Milan-Hotels-Excelsior-Hotel-Gallia.h10422.Hotel-Information)
