After reading some of the earlier reviews regarding the refurbishment, we were initially apprehensive about booking the Hotel Britannia - but given the excellent value (all inclusive for less than £350 per person in July) thought we'd go for it.

Just back from our first ever holiday in Italy. Never written a review before either but we have had such an excellent time at the Hotel Britannia Excelsior in Cadenabbia that we felt that we have to tell.

Staff; The staff were brilliant and incredibly helpful, special mention to 2 of the girls who worked at the reception desk who helped us with a few problems that arose during the week.

We travelled to the hotel with no great expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely room, exactly what we had asked for. Most of the hotel was beautifully decorated.

We stayed at this hotel last year and thought it was wonderful. This year we returned and it was even better! The hotel is spotless, the rooms are beautiful, the food is very good but the staff are what make the hotel so good. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and they remain smiling no matter what.
