Hotel Engadina - Como

Whilst the overall experience was good,the staff when I checked in were not very good, they were unable to give me a parking permit ( It was given by the receptionist the next morning). However this meant I had to be up showered and dressed by 08:00 to move the car. The safe was not working and allthough I reported it nothing was done. All the window sill surfaces on the staircase required cleaning. Breakfast was served at the table by pleasant and attentive staff.

The hotel is quite close to the centre of town. Parking space is ok if a bit tight. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. Good breakfast but nothing fancy. I'd recommend this hotel.

Quiet because of good windows. Very central.

We stayed at Engadina primarily because of its proximity to the Centro Storico di Coma. This did not disappoint as it was a 5-7 minute walk. Carrefour store and Agip gas conveniently located nearby was very nice. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and continental breakfast was not over the top, but sufficient. Rooms were clean,well kept, towels and soaps replenished. We observed multiple cigarette butts in stairway leading to room. Would be nice if staff kept plants on balcony alive...Only two major flaws, 1) hotel is on a busy street, so you can hear traffic buzzing by all night. 2) Wi-Fi did not work at all in the apartment. We had to come down stairs into lobby to use internet on iphone. May notsound like a big deal, but how would you like to go up and down five stories every time you wanted to use internet? All in all, we picked it because it was close to city center. The hotel was serviceable and entirely forgettable.

In general the hotel was lovely with great staff. The location was just 5 minutes walk from the center and between both train stations. If one MUST say something negative, well the hotel is easy to miss although it is on the main street, it could be that there are many trees surrounding it (very weak excuse!). Anyway, you will not find better for the price, cleanliness and hospitality.

Having breakfast served rather than a buffet was nice.

The most noisy hotel room I ever stayed.

Generell ok.

We stayed 3 days (2 nights) in Como. It was a glorious place to be. The hotel was very pleasant and well located. It was a fairly short walk into the center of town.

Due to the traffic, it is relatively noisy

Manager and staff was very friendly and helpful. Easy to find the hotel. Room was very comfortable and clean. Bathroom was spacious and very good. Breakfast was good, too. Short straight forward stroll to the Esplanade and ferry and bus terminal, and eating places. This was our base for day trips to Bellagio on day of arrival from Firenze and next day, hiking up Monte Grona in Breglia, off Menanggio. Venturing in a new country in a new area and hiking by ourselves without a guide, was one of the highlights of our trip. Dinner outdoor at La Darsena on the Esplanade was good and comes with a 10% discount, courtesy of the same owners. Taxi to San Giovanni station cost 8 Eur and was cheap and worth it as it was raining.

No luxury features, but none expected, and perfectly acceptable for however long one wished to stay in Como. Need to ask for fruit and yoghurt at breakfast. Internet provided free, but so slow as to be unusable.

We booked this last minute and were nervous about location and rooms. This was just what we needed traveling with 2 school aged children. We would definitely stay again. Only (minor) problem was that we were on the 5th floor and wireless connectivity (which was free!) was not accessible.

Everyone was very kind. We booked a quadruple room but at the end we got a nice appartment for 4 people.

Convenient location, very good value for the money. Room was somewhat noisy as other visitors had reported, but that's what earplugs are for. I slept fine. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good.

Nice hotel , very well located , with good services .

Biggest problem with the stay was the broken Air conditioning and because of the situation of the hotel, it was too loudy to open the windows. Otherwise nice walking distance from centre of Como.

3 bedroom. Staff very helpful and polite. Webpage could have more pictures of hotel and state air conditioning.

The hotel was conveniently located to the town centre, and to both the bus and rail stations. The staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were well kept. This hotel suited me perfectly. I wanted a very straightforward room because I knew I'd be out and about a lot. I would stay there again if I returned to Como.

This hotel has freshly renovated bathrooms and seems to be especially suitable for handicapped persons. A big supermarket in 400m distance to the hotel. The train station can be reached by foot within 5min.

The location is noisy but (in summertime) the A/C cools down the room and for a while the window/door can remain closed. My room (single) was not big but totally sufficient. It is equipped nicely and practically. The bathroom with white sinks etc. and granite (?) tiles has taste and contributes to a feeling of wellness. Room and bath were specklessly clean. The location requires a 10-minute walk to the centro storico which will be more pleasant when the lakefront reconstruction is completed. From other people lodged in the centro storico I heard that their hotels had mould in the baths and unpleasant smells. With the Engadina I have made a good choice and recommend it fully.

Very clean hotel. Very helpful staff. Very good location. However, the hotel needs renovation since the rooms are very old fashioned.

The hotel is very close from the main train station, is a good option for a short break. The french bed room is a little bit small.

This was my second stay at the hotel as the staff are lovely and it is conveniently located.

Hotel loced on a main street - very noicy. Only suiteable for stop over.

Close to the center, the harbor and not so far from railway station. However bit noisy because of main road just beside the hotel. Staff was friendly and the interior generally ok but breakfast could be better (only sweet things).

Würde wieder ins Engadin gehen.

Nice hotel, good location, excellent staff who helped us with everything we needed to know about trains to Milan and tours of Lago Como. However, it was the most expensive hotel we booked in our 4 weeks in Northern Italy and others provided much more value in terms of room size, views, and ambience. Free parking (although limited to 3 spaces) and free internet were very nice benefits.

Difficult to find although is on a main road behind the lake

Bed was quite hard. Closeness to the lake and train station good.

Nice Hotel, 5 minutes walk from the city center, very kind staff! Very Nice Weekend! :-)

Room was nice, a little older, had decent room. Was on a very busy road, so you had road noise all day and most of the night. Hotel is right down from train station and near lake.

I had a great stay a the hotel. Nice welcoming and a good breakfast each morning. The Hotel is quiet well situated but a little bit noisy because of the main street right behind but that is the case for all the hotels in Como. I'll come back in spring and be back to Engadina !

The great problem, I think is the parking place. I didn´t have a problem, but I imagine when the hotel is full. But the competence of employees compensated this problem. Good option.

Too expensive for the rooms offered, quite noisy (loud and busy street in front of hotel) and the hotel parking has only space for 2, max. 3 cars. Reception friedly and compentent. Breakfest was OK for Italien Hotel.

The room is a typical room if you want to stay for a night or two, no more. The noise from the street nearby is realy a problem. Parking also is not provided, but you can find places near the hotel with 2-5 € per day.

Amabilidad de sus propietarios. Mala relacion calidad precio. En España la habitacion costaria 70 euros y no 95, aunque incluya desayuno

Good quality of service, nice athmosphere.

Service was o.k. but the price is by far too expensive for such a hotel in that location, which is so loud and the room is 10m distance from the sports stadium.

This hotel is a really an impertinence for travellers. We (little family) get a room with a 'double bed' about 1,20 meter. We are not on the street front but the noise was very loud although the windows are closed. No obligingness of the personal and hotel manager to find a solution. The breakfast was a joke - only Cappu was good. Sorry, I couldn´t recommend this hotel in Como anybody.

The hotel was quiet, modern and clean. Location was within walking distance of city center and train station. Free internet connection actually worked, as opposed to other hotels we stayed in. The staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and gave us discount coupons. Elevator was appreciated and breakfast was excellent.

Great location near train station and easy walk into town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room and bed were small but comfortable. I expect the price is on the high side due to popularity of area.

Hotel staff were good and helpful. Traffic noise could be heard despite double glasing and would recommend that guests request a rear facing room. Hotel was well located near parks with a Supermaket located nearby

Excellent hotel just a bit noisy from the road. rear rooms are better than the front

Excellent location for the train station, the lake and the town center. We had rooms 222 and 223 which are away from the main street. Definite value here, especially for a short stay. The town of Como is not a long stay place. We came in late by train, roamed the town that night having pizza in an outdoor cafe. Then took our bags down the next morning and checked them at the desk and spent the day in Bellagio (travelling by boat) which was very fun. recommend a similar program. Then picked up a rental car and left that afternoon for Carreno on Lake Maggiore which was also beautiful.

Nice surroundings but noisy room, it was faced on the main street (traffic noise)

Clean and comfortable accomodation centrally located

Wonderful hospitality! in comparison to other higher graded hotels in como, this was an absolute surprise and pleasure. we will stay here again.

I was there 10 nights and thought the hotel was wonderful. We were close to wherever we needed to go. The front desk people were gracious, helpful and willing to do whatever it took to make our visit perfect. It was a wonderful time!!

We stayed only for a night and generally we had a pleasant stay.Staff very helpful and competent.Hotel clean and very close to the lake and it was very easy to find by car.Breakfast was geat too. Only negative point was the noise from the busy road that the hotel was on despite the double glasse windows.Maybe a little bit overpriced for what it had to offer.Overall a pleasant stay.

VERY NICE PROPERTY,EASY ACCESS TO THE TOWN CENTER,LOGICAL PRICE,EVERYTHING OK!

This is a great small hotel for business or leisure travellers. Easy access, greta service and very convenient to Como centro.

To thin bed sheets!

Good location and good relationship between price/quality. Near the hotel there are pay-parking areas but they are cheap.

Gutes Hotel der Mittelklasse, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Kostenloses Parken vor dem Hotel! Würde wieder kommen

We had an enjoyable three day stay in Hotel Engadina. The room was modest but clean and comfortable and the staff were very courteous. The only 'negative' was that our room fronted onto a busy street and was therefore a little noisy. That said, after each day of exploration we had little problem getting to sleep!

We only stayed one night, but this was a great hotel. This probably isn't the most central hotel, but it is only a 10 minute walk from the main train station and a 10 minute walk to the central part of Como. The receptionist (young lady) was extremely helpful in directing us to the places we wanted to see. She was fluent in english as well. We had read about it being kind of noisy, but we did not experience this problem at all. We had an interior room though. Would definitely recommend to others as well as stay here again.

This is a friendly hotel, very close to Lake Como, the centre of town and the railway station. The rooms are clean, well decorated and air conditioned. There is a busy road at the front of the hotel, but with the windows closed the noise is considerably reduced. The only potential problem could be that the hotel has very little dedicated parking. It made a great base for visiting Monza, Milan, Lake Como and Switzerland.

A good, basic, three star hotel. Do print out a google map in order to find it though as the hotel's version isn't the most detailed. Breakfast is good (coffee, juice, yoghurts, croissants, rolls with condiments) and the location is five minutes walk from the lakeside and centre of Como. It is overpriced, but I think this is symptomatic of Como, rather than this particular hotel.

Good option for one night or lower budget stay. About a 20 minute walk from hotel to lake and downtown (i.e. Piazza Cavour). Clean rooms, clean bathrooms. Excellent latte for breakfast. No internet access. Insider tip: The hotel is close to the train station, but do not try to walk (despite the recommendation of the hotel staff) if you have heavy luggage, as the path from the hotel to the train station is only about 15 minutes but travels across several busy streets, narrow cobble stone sidewalks and includes several flights of steep stairs.

This hotel is very noisy in the night,because there is much traffic in the street

Staff was great. Hotel was a little further away from main part of town as we had expected from the information on line.

This was a good hotel for the price. The rooms were small, but not a-typical by European standards, and the bathrooms were nice. It's only a couple of blocks from the water and a about a 10 minute walk to the "heart" of Como. The only issue we had was finding the hotel since it's hard to see from the street.

The location of the hotel is excellent! its only a 5 minute walk and your in the heart of Como, and as a single female traveller I found the area to be very safe. My only complaint would be that the rooms are tiny, it was no problem for me because I didn't spend much time in the room but it was a bit of a shock to walk into such a small room! it was very clean though and you get a small cute balcony. Also whilst the breakfast was good, there are only limited tables so if the hotel is full you may have to wait for a table in the morning for breakfast (but annoying if your trying to catch the first ferry to Bellagio!). Overall though, for the price and location it was a very comfortable stay. I would stay there again for sure.

This is a good value hotel a very short walk from the Lake front. Our room was well decorated and very clean with fridge, aircon and balcony. The bathroom was superb. Only disappointment was breakfast which was adequate but nothing special with truly appalling coffee - not what I expect in Italy.

We stayed in Como for 2 nights. Engadina was a great base for the price. Only complaint was the traffic noise at night, although we had friends staying in another room and they couldn't hear the noise. We were closer to the main road.

The location was very good for a stay in Como, not in the main hustle, but a 10 minute walk along the water. It was great for me. The only concern I had was for a non-smoking room it did smell quite heavily of smoke. I would use the hotel again.

Our room had a fairly unattractive view (although not horrific). We were expecting a modern, efficient, fairly economical, clean hotel with air conditioning (for one night between destinations during our trip through Italy) and that's exactly what we got. The personnel was all very friendly and accommodating and the rooms were spotless.

Friendly,helpful staff and a good, well run hotel in a convenient location. Not the most picturesque area of Como, but easy to find, with car parking directly in front of premises. I used it merely for a 1 night stopover on the way to Umbria and it suited me perfectly. Very close to main autoroute.

The room on the street side is very noisy. Como itself is a nice city. Parking is a problem

Very good quality hotel, close to Lake and city. Staff pleasant and helpful.

This place was great EXCEPT for the street noise. It is on a busy road and all you hear are cars going by all the time. I was happy with the room - the bathroom was all new with nice new working plumbing. The room was big enough and clean and met our needs. I was surprised it was nicer than I expected - though the road noise was a bummer.

MArch 11 & 12th, 2007: Nice hotel, clean rooms. It is near the San Giovanni train station, which is why we booked there, so we could go to Milan and leave the rental car at the hotel.

Beds were very hard. Location was on a busy rd but outside noise not too bad. Room was smelly from too much smoking and little on the warm side. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Location is close enough to main stuff (8-10 mins walk to station and city centre). Walls were very thin. Breakfast was a little stingy with the croissants.

We would definitely stay here again. The room was lovely and clean. Very nice breakfast room with good service. (Great cappucinos!) All of the staff were helpful with any questions we had. On our last day they served us breakfast before the opening time of 7am so we could catch an early train. And the location was great - short walk to historical town centre and ferry terminal.

The Hotel was comfortable and welcoming, the rooms and facilities were adequate for our two night stay, and the street noise mentioned in some reviews wasn't a problem. We would use this friendly family Hotel again, and recommend it to others.

Hotel très bruyant.Route juste sous les fenetres.Loin du centr ville.Pas de restaurant à proximité.

Location - excellent. Rooms - excellent. Staff - very friendly, all could speak English. Not cheap but would recommend.

The location of the hotel is OK, although if you arrive at the train station its about a 15 minute walk. Our room had a lot of traffic noise as a main road runs in front of the hotel. They have block out shutters on the windows which helped, but there was still quite a lot of traffic noise. The rooms are good, very clean, large enough and the bathrooms are good.

I was very plased with this accommodation. It was central to what Como had to offer and to both railway stations. The staff was especially helpful and friendly. Although I was confident in communication in Italian, when I had to ring the airline, which was a little more difficult, the phone call was made for me, willingly and cheerfully. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom well equipped and newly fitted (loved the bath!!)The breakfast was typical continental style - but fine. I would return to this hotel.

I was at this hotel for two nights and had a double bed all though I was alone. The traffic noise is ridiculous. I had asked for a room away from the street but when your alone hotels tend to put you in the worst location. I would highly suggest getting better glass on the rooms facing the street. Breakfast was alright (croissant, buns, orange juice and coffee) I ordered a cafe latte and was presented with a jug of coffee and a jug of milk. I paid 70 euro a night but the price list in the hotel said 60 euro a night. The best part of my stay was the snack bar next door. The woman running it is delightful and the "snack food" tastes pretty good. I would suggest looking elsewhere first and using this hotel as a last resort

I was very surprised about Engadina,i found the hotel relly excellent,i wasn't expecting such a nice hotel like that when i see the hotel info's on Venere.Price is fare and rooms are very clean.Hospitality was great.All team of Engadina was very friendly.Thanks to all!!Hope i come to como again and stay there again !!! x Zeynep

Location fine but the traffic during the night was very noisy. With breakfast the rolls were fine and warm on Sunday but cold and very hard as the week progressed.

If you are looking for a quiet place, we recommend to choose another location. Otherwise, fine for one night.

The hotel is very good for being a 2 stars one, but I think it is too expensive.

Der Eingangsbereich sah ordentlich aus. Die Vorkasse machte uns stutzig. Als wir dann ins Zimmer kamen waren wir erschrocken: die Tapete hinterm Bett war versifft, mm-Dicke Staubschicht auf dem Bettgestänge, die Zudeck-Wolldecke war total schmutzig und müffelte. Ekelhaft! Es war kaum Platz im Zimmer. Das Badezimmer war klein, aber von der Sauberkeit erträglich. Hoteleigene Parkplätze sind im nahen Parkhaus nicht mehr vorhanden. Das nächste Parkhaus "Mozart" war unheimlich eng. Eine Video-Überwachung fand nicht statt - dafür war es mit 13,- € zu teuer und zu unsicher. Immerhin war man tatsächlich in 10 Min vom Hotel in die Innenstandt gelaufen. Never again!

The hotel seems to be near the Railway Station, but in fact you can either walk, which is not so funny with a suitcase, or take a taxi, unfortunately there is not bus service at all. The hotel is not central, it is on the boundary of the city with quite a lot of traffic. Inside and when windows are closed it has been very well renovated, upgraded actually from a 2 to 3 star hotel.

Great location--short walk to both the center of Como and the train station. The facility was new, modern and clean- a marble bath, shower curtain(!) and a spotless tub! Best of all the staff tried to help in every way; the morning manager even used his own cell phone to help! A definite good choice.

Our stay at Engadina will be a memorable one. Very clean rooms, staff was cordial, loved our little balcony in one of the two rooms. AC worked well, both rooms were quite, the location of the hotel walking distance to the lake, shops and restaurants. Breakfast was ample and a very tasty capuccino. I highly recommend it if you're to spend your time ourdoors. Free parking was very helpfull, make shure you ask for the Parking Card at the desk. It is not for a resort type of stay. Our two teenaged kids were happy with this hotel's arrangements. I would return to Engadina.

Gemütliches und schlichtes Hotel. Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis ist top. Neue Badezimmer und alles sehr sauber.

The breakfast was very poor. There was only jam and cheese spread. For 130,00 € I expected a little bit more. Real cheese,ham,bacon and an egg would be welcome. Last year Iwas in an hotel in Germany for 60,00 € I had all of this mentioned above. I don't think I'll stay for a second time.

Accueil réellement charmant

Noisy street but air conditionning exceltent welcome

The breakfast needs improvement. rooms facing the street are very noisy. hotel location is quite convenient. staff is courteous & helpful.

The Engadina is a comfortable walk to Como main centre. On a noisy, busy road, a room away from the street is essential for sleep. The lake and most facilities are nearby, including a good supermarket as eating in Como is expensive.

Extremely helpful staff. Very Pleased with our stay!

Un'ottima struttura, ben gestita e curata, in cui, sicuramente, tornerò. Vicina al centro storico, facilmente raggiungibile, unico neo i parcheggi, abbondanti i pubblici a pagamento, ma reperibili con pazienza nel fine settimana.

Good location. walking distance to the docks. good breakfast. seemed clean, but there was a cockroach in our room.

As always, map provided left something to the imagination - paticularly when walking from the train station for two people in their 70s. Once there the location was an easy walk to almost everything. We tend to use public transportation on all our trips and location is very important to us

I found the hotel matched the information provided perfectly and our stay went well. I havd a group of six students and they found the location of all facilities very good. I would recommend the hotel as a good base for the area.
