I stayed at the Hotel Metropole Suisse for two nights in April 2013 as part of a Gate 1 tour. Location, location, location! You cannot beat it! The hotel is right in Piazza Cavour, right on the lake. You are minutes from the Funiculare and the Duomo. Tons of restaurants are nearby. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are... More

Great view of lake Como, mountains and piazza. Staff efficient and helpful on arrival. Room compact, but perfect for our few days there. Breakfast was abundant and fresh, choices of hot and continental. The chocolate croissants were delicious. Drinks from the restaurant terrace perfect in the afternoon. We could hear some noise from the road and the piazza below, but... More

The location of the hotel is great. We had a large room, decorated beautifully with old worldly furniture, with a perfect view across the lake and mountains. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the restaurant served great meals. Free wifi and car parking were an added bonus. Would definately return and recommend !!!!

We have stayed several times at this magnificent hotel during the years. This time we were with a couple of friends for three nights. We took two lake view rooms and as before it was just perfect. The hotel is in a perfect location across the road from the lake and from the ferry station if you want to go... More

I do not have enough superlatives to describe the location of this hotel. The hotel was lovely and the room of which myself and my partner shared was a brilliant size and beautiful. The hotel is located right by the lake and the views from our room were amazing. The lake and moutains were endless. We were blessed with good... More

I spent 3 nights at this hotel with a group of friends. The welcome was all but friendly, with a very serious and rather cold reception clerk clearly annoyed by the large and a bit noisy group. Our room was ok but a bit small, and the bathroom had a shower tub. Breakfast ok, with good cappuccino and some nice... More

My wife and I just shared 2 glorious weeks in Italy. We booked through Gate1 Tour Company (which was a huge advantage), and we found the Hotels, especially this one, very good. The Metropole Suisse Hotel has the BEST location of all Hotels in Como, Italy. Right on the harbour centrally located to EVERYTHING. The water Taxis (for Lake Como),... More

This hotel is located on the waterfront of Lake Como and in the heart of old town.... Steps away from ferry stop for boat rides on the lake and steps away from the Cathedral and the shops and cafes of old Como! If you are arriving by train, the location is unbeatable... a ten minute easy walk downhill from S.Giovanni... More

First encounter was the desk clerk who could not have been more rude. The rest of the staff, thankfully, were more pleasant, but you have to put up with rude desk clerk every day as he seems to be constantly at the desk. The room we were brought to was old, dreary, and smelled as though a chain smoking writer... More
