Hotel Glavjc

Stayed on 2 occassions back in the 1990's so on a recent road trip to central Italy decided again to go back. Pretty much un-changed, yes dated by todays standards but very clean. Found the parking to be not as difficult as I remembered but can see some people would struggle. Food in the Restaurant is very good being freshly cooked, although service is slow due to it's popularity with both visitors and locals alike. All in al,l for the money it is good value, stay in Como and you would pay triple. Have booked again for 2 stays in Spring 2024

Just don't go here! We arrived and were faced with the steep parking area. On entry into the hotel it is very dark and drab and the corridors reeked of smoke. We went up to the room which was very basic and apart from the great view the rooms furnishings were basic and more akin to an army dormitory than a hotel. We went down and asked how to get down to the lake (since on one site a private beach is alluded to) were told to follow the path at back of hotel. It does not lead down to the lake. We asked at front desk again and were told that there was no beach (the website stating such is incorrect). My wife, granddaughter and I rapidly decided we needed to find another place to stay since the hotel was nowhere near what was advertised and is certainly not worthy of 3 stars. The front desk lady was quite angry that we were leaving but we accepted that we had to pay the rate for one night and gladly paid it to leave the hotel and find somewhere else. We went on an excursion the next day and the guide asked where we were staying in Torno and we conveyed that we had found the hotel poor and had moved, he quickly responded without any prompting from us "Hotel G.L.A.V.J.C" and said he had heard similar reactions before! The place has a local reputation of not being as good as people expect!!

Une nuit décidée dans cet hôtel à la dernière minute, quelle bonne idée ! Vue imprenable sur le lac, un dîner délicieux et un service impeccable. Une pépite ! Ne pas se laisser décontenancer par l'aspect très vintage. Je recommande surtout le très bon restaurant

Das Hotel ist zwar in die Jahre gekommen, trotzdem war alles sehr sauber, die Betten rückenfreundlich und das Essen superklasse. Sehr freundliches Personal. Alle Zimmer haben Seeblick, und glaubt mir: Das lohnt sich sowas von! Der absolute Hit ist aber das Restaurant. Dort stehen zwei Schwestern (Mutter und Tante des Juniors) in der Küche, die sich vor Sterneköchen nicht fürchten müssen. Großartig waren die gegrillten Meeresfrüchte, der Vorspeisenteller al Mare, und die Crespelle ai funghi porcini. Vielen Dank an Alex (mein Namensvetter) für Tips in der Umgebung.

Camera con balcone privato con veduta spettacolare, pulitissimo, cibo eccellente. Se non cerchi il lusso ma la sostanza è il luogo ideale per godersi il lago di Como a prezzi accessibili senza rinunciare al meglio.

Dit hotel dateert van 1976 en dat straalt het ook uit qua sfeer. Zeg maar gerust vintage of retro. Dit doet echter niets af aan de kwaliteit en service. De bedden liggen comfortabel, er wordt goed schoongemaakt, de ligging en het uitzicht is uniek en het restaurant is prima, maar niet echt goedkoop. Parkeren bij het hotel is gratis, maar door het hoogteverschil en stijle bochten soms een uitdaging, het vergt meerdere malen steken. Om iets te ondernemen moet je met de auto eropuit. Nadeel is dat er weinig parkeergelegenheid is. Je kunt met de taxi-boot verschillende uitstapjes maken naar nabij gelegen plaatsen (o.a. Como), als het je lukt de auto ergens te parkeren. De hotelkamer beschikt over een balkon met uitzicht op het meer. De inrichting is praktisch, al zou de badkamer wel wat moderner mogen. Het personeel is bijzonder aardig en gastvrij. De (vermoedelijke) eigenaresse -een krasse bejaarde dame,-houdt het reilen en zeilen goed in de gaten, checkt de kamer op hygiene voordat je de sleutel krijgt, en spreekt goed Engels en Duits. Wij verbleven hier 4 nachten.
