The location of this hotel is fantastic, just 5 minutes walk from both train stations and being surrounded by shopping and eating options, as well as the lake itself. Rooms are simple but good enough as a base since you probably won't spent much time indoors around here. I didn't notice the much talked about street noise on either of... More

This is a decent budget hotel. I was traveling Europe and staying mostly with family or in hostels and this was close to the train station, clean and easy to walk to most of the attractions. It can get a bit noisy at night, but I just turned the television on and it was fine. I wouldn't want to have... More

We had a pleasant two night stay at the Hotel Plinius in October and loved its central location. We arrived by train from Milan so had just a short walk to the hotel. The room was small but we were expecting that and it was by no means a problem as there was plenty of storage space to keep our... More

it's very central. good value. clean. the room is smaller than average. we only had one pillow each on the first day and it was a bit low. think the cleaner noticed that we folded up the pillow for the first night and gave us extra ones on the 2nd day which is quite sweet. they have free wifi :)...

Good central location, and close to the train station too. Good sized modern room and bathroom too. This was the best 3-star hotel we stayed at in all of Italy for our 2 week vacation. But it really needs some new windows and soundproofing, which is surprising considering the overall state of the hotel and rooms. We thought the windows... More

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and I was pleased with it. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Giovanni station and a few minutes' walk from the lake and the main square. The room is on the small size and the bathroom was large considering the size of the room. In order for the air conditioning... More

Rooms are small but comfortable with tasteful good quality decor and fittings. Breakfast included in rate and it is usual continental style served in small breakfast room. Internet available... More

We stayed at Plinius at the end of our 18 day trip around Italy. We were there for 4 nights. The hotel is in a good location, it is clean, the staff seemed friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are quite small and the air conditioning in our room was not working properly. We asked about it several times and... More

The hotel has an excellent location. the roooms are abit on the small side. the hotel web site is ait misleading as some of the pictures are not of the hotel but in the surrounding area. We stayed for 1 night and it was adequate. We had not been to Como before, so if we return we would book other... More
