I was initially given this recommendation via a travel forum before I went to Italy, and am so glad I got it. Lake Como is a very big lake and unless you like staying in busy, expensive touristy areas listening to accents other than the locals, that's fine... But I don't! We were lucky to arrive in Como the day... More

My husband and I are staying for our honeymoon. The rooms and the hotel itself is quite simple but at this price,it is well worth it. A quick walk to the ferry and Villa Charlotta. The hotel manager and her daughter are wonderful and courteous. I don't recommend the attached restaurant though.

So you have booked your room at Hotel Riviera way back in February, and are paying for a single room.

Decided to take a break from AI at next door Hotel and try this one for evening meal as reviews seemed very positive. Seated next to bush and scooter park on road side. Fumes and traffic .. ugh!!

A very nice family-run hotel. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a good restaurant next to the hotel and other eating places in the vicinity. I much preferred this small, cosy hotel to the massive and impersonal Britannia Excelsior next door where my parents were staying. If you want luxury, go elsewhere, but a good chat... More

Passed though Cadennabia while on Lake Como and stayed for 2 nights in the Riviera. Nice family run hotel with friendly staff. Beautiful and un obstructed views of the lake if you have a lake view room.
