Positive Reviews

positive:

Lakefront lovely as can be.

The selling point of Britannia Excelsior definitely has to be the location; sitting right on the beautiful shore of Lake Como, you have fantastic views of Bellagio, Villa Carlotta is close by and the ferry which travels across the lake is just a few minut

positive:

Well-serviced stay.

Guests have found the rooms to be well-cleaned and in good condition and the staff has proved to be very helpful and welcoming to all.

positive:

Floating pool area.

During the summer opening season, you will find the pontoon pool to be a great attraction and the bar staff good at mixing up exactly what you need.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Too many British tourists.

Some people were unhappy to find Britannia Excelsior full with British package-tour tourists, most of whom are fairly elderly. If you are looking for somewhere small and personable, then perhaps look elsewhere.

negative:

Food not enjoyed by all.

While the dining seemed fine to some and the bars well enjoyed, a fair number of guests found the fare to be disappointing, the breakfast to be dire and the coffee worse.

negative:

Needs refurbishment.

A number of guests have been unhappy to find furniture old, the halls rundown and in need of refurbishing and some hotel items simply left standing in the corridors.
