Super accommodating. We booked last minute because another hotel booking fell through & upon checking in we were upgraded to a lake view room. Mohammed at the restaurant was very good to us.

When we arrived at the Hotel Funicolare we were greeted with a breathtaking view & this really is one of the hotel's best features. We were also pleasantly suprised to be given a family room (which we had booked) which was actually 2 rooms that were adjoining giving us lots of space, 2 bathrooms and 3 balconies. The rooms had, I believe, just been renovated and they were very charming and clean as were the stairs and entry area. There were a few niggles though. The lights in the hallway were on a sensor and timer and so if you were entering the hallway from your room, it was pitch black until you were within range of the sensor. Now for the worse bit, the restaurant! Breakfast was wonderful with amazing croissants and everything else was yummy! However, I was not impressed with the evening service. First of all, the pizza oven was not working for the 2 nights we were there which made up for 70% of the menu. When we requested one of the 6 other choices we were told that that wasn't available and the wine I wanted wasn't available either. What we did get that night was pretty good. The 2nd night (Wednesday) was so busy and they just couldn't cope, service was slow, there was no 'sorry', there were people walking away because pizza wasn't available. When my Spaghetti alle Vongole finally arrived it was nothing special and hardly had any sauce, I could have done better myself at home! Very disappointing and really put a dampner on what would've been an amazing stay!

Outstanding location

Outsanding and unique property. The views are stunning and breakfast is great. We were worried that it will be hot at night with no AC. It is higher up aka cooler at nights anyways so had no issues there (they have strong fans anyways). Super friendly staff and amazing ambience. Rustic and unique - definitely returning!

We had an amazing 6-day stay at Hotel Funicolare. The family suite provided to us was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The location is excellent — just a short drive to both Lake Como and Lugano. The views from our rooms were absolutely breathtaking. The staff was friendly, courteous, and always helpful. We also enjoyed the good breakfast each morning. We look forward to returning to this hotel in the near future. Sharing a photo of the beautiful view from each room!

Unbelievable View! Amazing breakfast!

Try finding a hotel with that view for that price anywhere in the world, the pictures just can't capture how amazing it is. Breakfast was the best I've had and worth £30+ but was included. Rooms were the cleanest by far I've stayed in and we are on a roadtrip around europe. The receptionist was very helpful and the owner went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For the fact they have only just opened I'd get in while the prices are cheap as they will surely go up with popularity. Top recommendation from the owner, go and see the Balcony of Italy that is 15mins away WOW!

Dejligt hotel med den flotteste udsigt

Dejligt ophold - helt fantastisk smuk udsigt. Blev opgraderet gratis til balkonværelse, virkelig god service. Personalet taler fint engelsk. Dejlig morgenmad, ikke kun kage :-) God kaffe. Ingen AC, men en ventilator er også fin. Tip mht. turen op/ned: Kør via Como/Argagno, vejen fra Lugano er rædsom! (Hårnålesving, smal vej og signinger på 18%)

Le point fort essentiel de cet hôtel est sa localisation avec une splendide vue plongeante sur le lac. L’hôtel en lui même par contre a besoin d’un relooking complet (alors qu’il a réouvert il n’y a que quelques mois, ce qui est très interpelant), la nourriture du restaurant n’est pas bonne et le service est lent, le petit déjeuné est décevant. Beaucoup de potentiel mais qui n’est pas exploité.

A la place d'une chambre avec vue sur le lac comme montrée sur la photo d'accueil, on a eu une chambre au fond de l'hôtel, avec vue sur rien du tout. Ou plutôt avec vue sur la cuisine du restaurant, avec les odeurs de la friture et de la nourriture, etc... Et vue sur le désordre... Un peu décevant en tout cas. Par contre, petit déjeuner très bien. Assez de choix. Rapport qualité/prix très bon en tout cas. Personnel très chaleureux et gentil. TOP!

Wir waren nach einer langen Anreise schon um 14Uhr angekommen. Uns wurde mitgeteilt das wir erst ab 15:00Uhr einchecken dürfen. Andere Hotels sind da etwas kulanter. Auf dem Zimmer war kein Fernsehen möglich da nur über Fire TV sich anmelden musste und es kaum Netz gab. Das Zimmer war sauber aber sehr schlicht eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war nicht besonders Appetitlich angerichtet. Man hat sich Mühe halt gegeben. Das beste war einzig die Aussicht die sehr schön war.

Gode familieværelser

Værelserne fine og meget rummelige, og udsigten er helt fantastisk, men det generelle indtryk når man ankommer er ikke videre god. Familiensuiten er perfekt indrettet til en familie med 2 børn, så der er børneafdeling og voksenafdeling. Der skal så lidt til at løfte det hotel til et 5 stjernet hotel. Lidt algerens, friske blomster ude, få istandsat de offentlige toiletter ville gøre meget. Men til prisen er det et godt bud til billige penge og personalet var søde og hjælpsomme. Så potentiallet til højere bedømmelse er der helt bestemt.
