"I’m sorry to report that this hotel is not of a standard that most people would accept. I spent one night in a small room overlooking the bins - noisy bottle bins being emptied. The room smelt of smoke despite the ‘no smoking’ sign. No hot water so cold shower - but I learnt later that I should have run the tap for 10 minutes to allow hot water through! (Not very green.) There was a safe in the wardrobe which was sealed shut but could have been picked up and carried out! I had to ask for help to get the a/c going. The decor is brown and scruffy - very dated and desperately needs modernising. Next morning I requested a different room. They ‘upgraded’ me and the second room was bigger, overlooking the road/piazza with a shower that had hot water. Decor better but still needs sprucing up. The a/c didn’t work at all despite efforts from hotel staff. The mini-fridge had a light but was not cold so my milk went off. There is no social area in the hotel apart from the breakfast room. The photo of the lounge is of a chair pushed up against the reception desk. Breakfast was unimaginative. I took my own fruit. It wasn’t value for money. Good point: location right by railway station and an easy walk to the lakeside, restaurants and shops. The guy on reception tried to be helpful."

"It has a nice view"

"The Hotel Alberni was less than a 10 minute walk from the train station, just perfect. The hotel is located next to the lake and is close to everything. Our room was really clean and comfortable with black out curtains, a small balcony and a lake view. Breakfast offers good, tasty choices, including traditional, local cake. Plenty of local restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. Thank you."

"The room is nicer than in the photos, and it's a 5-minute walk from the train station. The problem was that there was no reception, and even though I warned them that the train was delayed, there were no signs for the place when I arrived. So I called, and a very rude woman told me I didn't have a reservation. I told her I had made it days ago, and only when I was already annoyed did she find it. She told me someone would come to open the door in 10 minutes. When I arrived, a man showed me the room, but he didn't speak English. I asked if he could leave my suitcase there the next day so I could go sightseeing, and he said it cost €10. I told him that the room rate included that service, but since he didn't speak English, he told me I should call the number when I arrived 🙄… He left, and when I went to sleep, the bedspread was stained, and there was no one I could ask to change it. I didn't think the service was good. The bathroom was clean, but the furniture in the room was covered in dust."

"Nice views, friendly owners but you need a car as it’s up steep hills. Also air conditioning didn’t work and WiFi hardly worked either. The rules about not bringing food in should also be changed as there are no local shops around"

"Since my first visit in 2018, I always stay at Hotel Don Abbondio when I am working near Lecco. Staying here is akin to receiving an enormous hug! The hotel is family run and, as such, you will receive a welcome as though you are part of the family! Giuseppina greets you with a smile and will stop whatever she is doing, pop on a jacket and help you find a place to park. It is street parking but not more than a 2 minute walk. Luciano is an absolute gentleman and, if you ask, will perform a concert for you in the lobby. Luciano is an organist and an excellent one at that. The hotel is old style; expect a personal welcome as opposed to a generic check-in, expect classic functional rooms with everything you need and know that you will leave Hotel Don Abbondio with memories and stories to tell. Luciano and Giuseppina are charismatic, endearing and will do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There are rooms with balconies, restaurants and supermarkets nearby and the lake is waiting for you outside the front door. Seriously, an absolute gem. If you visit Lecco, stay here."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Agriturismo Deviscio. We had 2 rooms with shared with our adult boys and stayed for 3 nights during our 2 week stay in Northern Italy. We visited during the Italian Grand Prix and found Agostino's place so pleasant and away from the craziness of Milan and the race. Agostino and his family were so helpful in directions and advice on how to get in and out of Monza easily. The rooms are beautiful and the view, breathtaking. If possible stay on a Saturday and enjoy their apertivos with generous samples of the goat milk products, wine, beer and assorted meats. The breakfast provided every morning was plentiful and delicious. We felt so relaxed and comfortable here. It is such a peaceful oasis but so easy to access the lake region and so many local hikes. We would love to return again someday."

"We spent an excellent week, a house too beautifully decorated, everything was functional and very spacious , The owner very niceAnd a very beautiful view to the Lake of Como"
