Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Metropole Suisse is often praised for its prime location right on the lakeside, making it easy to access the ferry and explore Lake Como. The spacious rooms, some offering amazing lake views and balconies, are frequently mentioned as a highlight. Guests typically enjoy the buffet breakfast, though a few have suggested adding more hot options. Being just a short walk from Como Lago station and close to many restaurants adds to the hotel's appeal.
