Sala Al Barro Hotels

"Despite the hotel’s beautiful location, my stay was extremely disappointing. I was devastated to be given possibly the worst room in the hotel. A ‘superior double’ on level 2 (number 212). It faces the side street, so close to the pavement that I could hear every passer by throughout the night. At 5.45am you have the noise from the street cleaners, local shops, deliveries etc making it impossible to sleep! On top of that, the live entertainment from the bar was so loud in my room until late that I had to put on noise cancelling headphones to get some peace. One curtain could not be fully closed because there was no rail?! This felt both cheap and careless - allowing street lights to shine into the room all night. The bathroom offered no better privacy or comfort, so I ended up showering with the lights off. The wardrobe randomly had no handles?! so I really struggled to open it… Dinner was ok, I particularly enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and they have a nice selection of wines. After reading previous reviews I was disappointed to find the reception staff unfriendly when I was leaving, which only reinforced the poor impression left by the stay. Although maybe if I had had better sleep I wouldn’t have minded so much. It is such a shame, because I was genuinely excited about this stay and although the setting is lovely, after this experience and the worst nights sleep I’ve had in a long time, I would not return."

"Front desk was very helpful for our check-in including a room change request fullfilled, our checkout by proving a carry out breakfast boxes."

"Fantastic stay here for 3 nights. Great location in como, amazing breakfast with prosecco even included. Staff very helpful. Free room upgrade too which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend a stay at the Palace hotel. "

"We had a standard double room, which was clean and modern. Had obviously been renovated relatively recently, all the fixings and fittings in excellent condition. The lights all linked to touchscreens located throughout the room. Powered shutters on the windows and AC which was effective. Complimentary water in the fridge, tea and instant coffee. As a vegan, the options at the breakfast buffet were limited to fruit, cereal + soy milk, bread + jam, some hot mixed veg, and a couple of sweet cakes. Tea/coffee/juice. The vegan things were labelled so that was nice. Very easy to get around, bus stops just across the street to the train station, airport etc. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would happily recommend."

"Lovely staff, great amenities, great location"

"This is a high class property with stunning views and superb service. We stayed here for a special occasion and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed the bar outside, the spa and the breakfast. "

"My stay at the Continental Hotel was absolutely fantastic—truly a 5-star experience from beginning to end. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with elegant rooms, a great atmosphere, and an ideal location that made exploring the area so easy. What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Every interaction felt genuine, and they consistently went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect. From the comfort of the room to the overall attention to detail, everything exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend the Continental Hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and seamless stay. I can’t wait to come back!"

"Clean room but not sound proof, you can hear someone dragging a chair or something else. But location is perfect, 5-7 min walking distance from the train station and 10 min from main attractions. Breakfast was good, not too many options but just okay. "

"Wonderful stay. The food, facilities, room, spa and most of all the staff were exceptional. We will be back! "
