Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 5 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Palace Hotel Lake Como suits travellers who want to be within walking distance of Como's Cathedral, shops and train station. The lakefront setting includes garden grounds and a restaurant and bar that overlook the water, blending historic and modern buildings across the property. Its central position means limited quiet compared with more secluded lakeside hotels, lake views are not guaranteed in every room, and parking, while available, is private rather than free.
Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Lake Como is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel sits directly on Lake Como's shore within landscaped gardens, offering guests a scenic setting rarely found so close to the town center.
- Como Cathedral, a Gothic-Renaissance landmark, is only a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to combine hotel comfort with sightseeing on foot.
Things to Consider
- Since only some rooms offer lake views, guests specifically seeking a water outlook should confirm this at booking rather than assume it's standard.
- Being close to Como's cathedral and shopping streets means some traffic and pedestrian activity nearby, which may not suit those wanting total seclusion.
