Albergo Terminus

Overall we enjoyed our week long stay at this hotel. It has the perfect location on the lakefront and we had a great view from our room. The room was spacious and comfortable. We had a few maintenance issues during our stay which were dealt with promptly. The breakfast selection was great and the morning staff in there were wonderful and welcoming. Our main issue was with the lack of bathroom privacy - the shower was a glass cubicle in the bedroom with zero privacy. The toilet had a semi frosted screen and door but was not fully private so not ideal. I’m sure not all rooms are like this so perhaps we were just unlucky! I feel the hotel is overpriced for the standard of room - it was comfortable but certainly not luxurious.

My wife and I had a a great experience at the hotel for our 2 days here. We arrived into Milan early in the morning. We emailed the staff and they graciously accommodated us with an early check in time which was greatly appreciated. The room was nice with a comfortable bed and very amenity you could ask for. My wife and I looked forward to the breakfast every morning. The food and juices were fresh and delicious. Would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Milan.

We loved our 2 day stay. There was a lot of tourists and commotion around Como at this time, but once we entered Albergo Terminus, it was like being in a lovely, quiet, Italian oasis. The location is great - right by the ferry terminal, train station and multiple restaurants and shops. Rooms were nice size and comfortably furnished. Others have said “old fashioned,” but we thought the hotel was appointed in keeping with the building, its history, and the general vibe of Como. One of our rooms overlooked the piazza next door, and there was a festival happening with music playing until about midnight. This didn’t bother us at all. The hotel restaurant is absolutely lovely - such a beautiful room with the finest breakfast perhaps we’ve ever had. Coffee was superb. Dinner was also wonderful with delicious food and top notch service. The people at reception were lovely and accommodating. As for the housekeeping staff - we never saw them. It seems like they had a way of knowing if we were in the room or not. Would definitely return!

We had a fantastic few days in Como in mid March this year. The Albergo Terminus exceeded all our expectations. Brilliant location- right on the lake shore and the old town. It’s a beautiful building both inside and out and with a lovely calm atmosphere. As others have said, the breakfast is outstanding and I particularly liked the bar and can highly recommend the Bloody Mary’s! Service throughout our stay was friendly, efficient and charming. Ignore the losers who have given this hotel poor reviews. It’s really excellent. You won’t be disappointed. Unreservedly recommended.

The approach will truly put you off. Right across from the ferries, which, while convenient, is far from charming. The hotel feels like an upscale pensione. Rooms are small, not a deal breaker, as they often are everywhere in Italy (at this price point) But the bathroom, ugh! Teeny, tiny - no place to put toiletries. Worst of all is the bathtub/shower situation. You are taking your life in your hands every time you attempt a shower or a bath. Dangerously slippery and narrow! Husband & I both almost slipped even while taking precaution. What else: public areas nice enough if modest. Very good breakfast spread (though spoiled milk one day in my cappuccino). Staff: waitstaff for breakfast & cocktails, very accommodating, front desk nice enough, tried to provide info requested, but not always accurate (hours of operation or locations, sometimes off base). What you do get is cleanliness, and a fabulous location to get around to the lake towns (as mentioned: ferries are steps away),, the main square & the other sites in Como.
