Reviews for Hotel Centrale
Review 1:Hard to drive to the parking lot and out of it because of a wall on each side - you can't see if the main road is free or there is a car coming.
Review 2:Room, food.
Review 3:Loved every minute, would highly recommend for staff, location, comfort of beds, cleanliness and has a very very good restaurant just a few doors away. Also close to the waterfront and ferry terminal.
Review 4:Very convenient location in a lovely town. Breakfast was wonderful, with broad selections and hot eggs and bacon, sausages. Very polite and attentive staff . Secure free parking and easy to locate with GPS.
Review 5:Nothing.
Review 6:An unpretentious little hotel but right to the point! All you need it has - perfect location, free parking, clean rooms and a reasonable breakfast. A perfect spot for a traveller.
Review 7:Shower horrendous, could hardly turn around, and we're slight build people. Couldn't bend over to pick up soap etc from floor. No shelf in shower. Not enough staff if you want a drink from bar.
Review 8:Far enough out of Como, not so busy. Good restaurants and cafes.
Review 9:We have stayed at this hotel a number of times before and enjoyed very good meals in the restaurant. Whilst the web site confirmed the hotel had a restaurant, we found the new owners had closed it. Very disappointing, however, there are excellent other restaurants in the town. We just wished we had, had prior warning.
Review 10:Location - location, car parking, location, room, location,
Review 11:We stayed with my daughter ,husband and three children in adjoining rooms. The rooms were clean and comfortable with great bathrooms and balconies. Friendly helpful staff.
Review 12:We travelled for a wedding and had 2 rooms one in the new wing and one in the old.The Old room could have done with a full length mirror and the new room had a shower attachment over bath, but no shower facility so between the two rooms we had everything we needed .Shame the pretty cellar restaurant had closed but there was no shortage of eateries located close by.
Review 13:Rooms were very clean, staff really friendly and helpful.Fantastic central location.Overall we had a very comfortable stay.
Review 14:service is super the new house and rooms are equiped with air conditioner and well firnished. The location is good just few minutes to the lake.
Review 15:Breakfast is OK. Shower was small and inconvenient as it flooded much of the bathroom floor and drained slowly.
Review 16:Very clean facility. My room looked like it had been redone recently. Small (a single) but very pleasant. Location is superior.
Review 17:Nothing, the only one thing was that I expected mor fresh fruits ad vegetables for breakfast buffet.
Review 18:Very friendly, helpful, English speaking staff, great location, and modern, ninimalistic character of the room. I am not sure if all the rooms are the same as there seems to be an older building and newer annex , but my room was great. There is also free wifi and AC. Overall I had a very pleasent stay there.
Review 19:Fantastic Staff. They actually allowed us to plug a laptop into the monitor in the main reception to watch the Australian State of Origin Football match! We had 20 watching!
Review 20:On site parking. Cheerful staff. Multilingual. Singing waitress (gratis) and Lake Como 3 to 4 mins away on foot. Spacious rooms and beds. New rooms are stunning.
Review 21:We were relegated to a room via a building site - grit/dust everywhere, we could feel the grit crunching underfoot as we were escorted through construction works, stepping on packaging along the way. Our outlook was a builder's yard at rear of hotel. Rather than get unpacked & showered, we went off in the pouring rain to look for alternative accommodation. When we returned to 'uncheck' out [we did not check in, in the first place due to the rainstorm], we were told our 100% deposit would be forfeited. Booking.com should have a condition to relieve customers of this obligation as our room was clearly not as described. Lo & behold, they had a spare room facing the front of the hotel after all! Disgusted with the way we were treated when there was no need for it as they could have easily just let us have the vacant front room when we first arrived. Rather spoilt what would have been a perfect stay at lake Como.
Review 22:Location
Review 23:A little noise from the village church bell but it stopped from 10 pm until 7 am so not a problem
Review 24:Only a 1night stay arrived later but no problem with staff. Large family room .nice place for a stop over will try a longer stay next time.
Review 25:After a successful night using the air conditioning (AC) they told us we had to stop using it because it was too cool outside and the air conditioner would act like a heater. They even restricted access. We did not sleep as well because it was too warm and our room faced the street which was loud....
Review 26:Early check in was no problem The staff was friendly
Review 27:Booked a quad but one bed was a flimsy fold up bed, very thin mattress and two slats fell out in the night, waking us. It was not suitable for my teenage son. Would be acceptable if we had booked 'an extra bed' but not when a four bed room is booked, this should mean four proper beds.
Review 28:Decent hotel in centre of town, very close to ferry, bus and restaurants. Free car parking. Good breakfast, fresh items. Room clean and nicely furnished, linens and towels very white, big bathroom.
Review 29:Nothing to dislike.
Review 30:Free secure parking, bike storage, new a/c, bathroom clean and very functional, breakfast very good value as included in tariff. Evening meal in their alfresco area well patronised by locals.
Review 31:shower: no platform means the water was sort of flooding the tiny bathroom
Review 32:Good location with free parking Good food served in restaurant Nice and clean room
Review 33:The WiFi didn't work in our rooms. Had to go in the lobby or dining room to get WiFi.
Review 34:We enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Our rooms were ready early. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the neighborhood and restaurants around the hotel. We were 2 stops from Lake Como via water taxi, and 2 hours from Belliago (leaving directly from our stop). We took a fast boat back from Belliago to Lake Como then the boat back to our stop. That took around an hour. Loved our stay in Como!

Review 75:Staff were outstanding at all times showing wonderful hospitality - restuarant in cellar was an unforgettable experience - our first and not last visit to this area and hotel - well done! Free accesible parking and great breakfast buffet were bonuses.
Review 76:The room for two would be very small, even for one it is cramped. There are no English tv channels available. The dining room, for dinner, is underground. Not enjoying enclosed spaces I ate elsewhere.
Review 77:It's position in Cernobbio, close to ferry and restaurants, and it's convenience for Como. The breakfast room is pleasant and the food selection good with excellent hot chocolate!
Review 78:No lift/elevator is available. However, our room was on the first floor.
Review 79:We had one room with 1 spacious double bed and 2 single beds.The hotel is central only a minute walk to the ferry boat. The room and bathroom are very clean and the bathroom was very spacious. Breakfast was great with a variety of food. Staff were very helpful and efficient. Pizzeria is very good. There is private parking space available.
Review 80:They should inform us in advance about the extra charge in breakfast if the customer ask something more which is not available in the menu such as sunny side up to prevent any dissatisfaction.
Review 81:Good location near by the lake.
Review 82:Breakfast was really poor, with not such a great offer in terms of quality and types of food.
Review 83:Bathroom small but clean, poistion is TOP for Cernobbio!
Review 84:Minor but important: no soap holder in shower - had to scrabble on floor for shampoo etc. and hairdryer on wrong wallf or mirrow! Wifi broke down- not all hotel's fault though due to storms they thought.
Review 85:Quiet central location. Free safe parking. Large bedroom prettily furnished. Excellent bed, linen, bathroom, Very professional staff. Well equipped. Good breakfast and dinner. Friendly atmosphere. Will return.
Review 86:In general the hotel does not live up to its promotion material, nor theway it's presented on its webpage. - The reception area is somewhatshabby, and the corridors certainbly are. - We booked a standard roomfacing the back. The room was very small, but clean, incl. The bathroom.- The area at the back of the hotel is no pretty sight with a parkingplace, poorly maintained buildings and a stack of plastic bagspresumably containing used linen put on a terrasse just 20 yards away. -The restaurant is depressing. We only had breakfast there which wasacceptable. My conclusion: Don't stay at this hotel. Hotel Regina Olgaacross the street seemed much, much nicer with a location facing thepromonade at the lake.
Review 87:Its central location in Cernobbio.
Review 88:They asked for my passport on arrival to keep overnight. Then they lostmy passport. When I asked for it at the front desk the next day, theyinsisted that I already collected it. This resulted in some argument. Iwas told that I am in "some confusion" and that I must search for mypassport in my room. To make a long story short, they eventually didfind it and returned it to my room with some apology.
Review 89:Location. Slightly more affordable than others in an expensivepart of Italy.
Review 90:Having stayed at this hotel on a number of previous occasions we noted a need for update in the public areas, carpets were showing signs of wear and general decor was getting tired.
Review 91:The location was excellent with good restaurant and parking, staff were friendly and helpfull.
Review 92:Staff rudeness and amazing idea to all take their break at the sametime. Shocking.
Review 93:Probably the poorest service we have ever received with us being askedto wait 30minutes to have a drink at 7pm because the entire staff wastaking its break at the same time and nobody felt like taking care ofcustomers before themselves.Staff rudeness continued when we were told to seat at a table for dinner in the back ofthe terrace despite asking for one at the front (near the TV as a few friends wanted to watch a football match on show that evening) and seeing one free in front that the staff refused to give us and refused to give any reason for refusing us to seat there (the table was not reserved). Will never return and would suggest people to avoid this hotel if they want to receive any basic service.
