Very clean and comfortable room with all the amenities. The included breakfast buffet was exceptional and we had a view to the lake from our table that we we will remember forever!! A free shuttle to and from the train station was an asset. Very friendly personnel. We ate at La visteria in the hotel and had the most wonderful culinary experience , michelin type experience, although not michelin starred or Bib awarded restaurant , certainly was at this level. Highly recommended.

This place is worth every penny. So convenient from the train station. Be sure to ask them for shuttle service. It’s free from the train station. Then you don’t have to carry your luggage for 15 mins up and down the cobbled streets. The property is the most gorgeous lakeside view. Everywhere you look it’s beautiful here. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I can’t recommend this place enough.

To start, just walking thru the village in Varenna was amazing! Then we got to the piazza that was all lit up with twinkling lights on every tree. The Hotel Royal Victoria didn’t disappoint. The staff was warm and friendly and our room was absolutely beautiful! There was a hand written note and treats waiting for us. The view of Lake Como was incredible. The room was clean and we enjoyed a wonderful nights sleep in the comfortable bed. The breakfast spread and view from every table was a bonus. We hope to return again someday!

Breakfast was filled with lots of choices, from fresh fruits to croissants and fresh juices. Our room was very clean and very comfortable with lots of amenities that made for a very nice stay we had a balcony with the most amazing view. All the staff were cheerful and very professional. We ate many of our dinners at the Victoria Grill. The menu offered many choices and the food was of high quality. Service was also top notch. I would highly recommend this hotel for its central location on Lake Como.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed staying here. It’s a very well-maintained hotel in a perfect location. The staff was great. Breakfast buffet was wonderful (loved the included mimosas!). The hotel’s restaurant was very good (we ate there for dinner 3 times; easy to get a table and delicious food after long days). Special shout out to Paola at the restaurant-so friendly, lively … she really made us feel so welcome. The only current downside is that hotel’s shuttle is out of service. We were unable to get a taxi or Uber to the train station at checkout (even though we ordered a taxi the day before with the concierge and confirmed the reservation twice). We had to make a mad dash on foot with large bags to catch our train. So be aware you will be on your own to get to/from train station. For the high room rates, the hotel should make other accommodations for its guests (or at least make them aware that transportation is not available).

We had a lovely stay for our wedding anniversary. Varenna is a great little town. If you stay for a week definitely plan some day trips to surrounding areas via ferry or boat taxi. The rooms were clean and staff were very accommodating and kind. Willing to help with anything we needed (airport transfer, dinner reservations, spa, boat routes). We had a junior suite with a great view of the lake. There are some beautiful swans that live on the lake and came by the beach at the front of the hotel everyday.
