Great location for a short stay in Como
For the price, this was definitely worth it. We were no more than five minutes from the port to catch a ferry to Bellagio. It is an EASY and direct walk from the train station. The last time I stayed in Como, my hotel was nicer, but was much further away. The location alone, makes this hotel worth it. The alley way outside stunk a bit, but I think that was because it was trash day. The staff was nice, the bathrooms were clean and looked new, and the accommodations were adequate. When I booked, my expectations were a bit lower (as we went for the cheapest available), and I was very much pleased with what we got! I’d recommend this hotel to those who are budget conscious and want a nice place to stay.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
If you visit Como/Bellagio, do it between March and Sept/Oct. We went in February and Bellagio was a ghost town! The place closes up for the winter months...so much that the hotels are even closed! There were only 2 shops open in Feb, as opposed to everything being open in Sept. Definitely worth a visit though. Be mindful of the ferry times though...the slow boat will take just shy of 2 hours to get there and the last boat back to Como is 5:15pm.

Near Piazza Volta
Como’s centro has several delightful piazza - near the water is Piazza Cavour, a little further in from the lake is Piazza Allesandro Volta, and then another block in there is Piazza Mazzini. The loveliest of the 3 is Volta - and the Hotel Plinius is just down the street from Piazza Volta . A single room taken for 4 nights was comfortable, clean, if not an ample room, it was an economical use of space and the bed was not bad at all - but most of all, an ample bathroom with new fixtures and enogh space to move around. Not always typical in hotels of thuis type in Italia.
Traveler's tip on dining
Lots of decent restaurants near the lake - try the risotto with fried perch - it is a local dish on several menus - the perch is from the lake and it was very nicely done the evening that we had it.
