My wife, son (6 month old) and I stayed at the Quarcino right around the end of May and beginning of June 2008. The accommodations and the included breakfast were very good for a budget hotel. The room was a good size, as was the bathroom, and both were very clean and comfortable. My wife and I found the hotel... more

Where do I start...... First, the owners were terribly rude! Second the beds were rock hard and the towels were like sheets! Third the breakfast was awful - just bread and juice. Fourth, it was very noisy; the walls are paper thin and there is church right next door with a loud bell. On a positive note it was a... more

My husband and I and our two young adult children stayed two nights at Hotel Quarcino. The hotel is in a charming location slightly uphill from a medieval church whose bell tower is next to the hotel. Though the hotel and breakfast were nice, we found the front desk staff to be unfriendly. This was especially disappointing after our exceptional... more

Don't expect any thrills, a basic hotel where the rooms date back from the 70s .But the staff is friendly, the room was small but sufficient and quite clean, and looked out on some trees and was very quiet. Location is slightly outside the historic center, but quite close to bus station, Norde Lago train station and the pier, although... more

This was our fifth visit to Hotel Quarcino - The Gatti family and Mrs Volante are wonderful- Room 103 with the terrace under the bell tower is a special treat- book it and you wont be dissapointed.- Location to bus train and ferry just around the corner- Plaza Carvour and the weekend markets 5 Min walk - Fresh bread ,coffee... more

Read some of the reviews on Tripadvisor - worried about the experience some had had with THE BELLS. Total nonsense. Our clean, well appointed en-suite room on the second floor had uninterrupted views of the belltower and streets. The bells ring at 7:30 in the am and again at 8 - presumably to let everyone around know the day has... more

Booked this hotel based on reviews in Trip Adviser and definitely was not disappointed. Stayed 5 nights beginning 2 October 2007. Wonderful family owned property. Clean room, adequate breakfast, ideal location, friendly and caring staff. What more could you ask for. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends wanting to visit Como. more

The owners of the hotel were very sweet and very accomadating to us. They helped us a lot when our friend was sick. Our room was big and had its own patio and could see the dome of the cathedral from there. Bathroom was a bit awkward but nothing too big. Breakfast was simple and nothing special. Would stay there... more

Having never travelled with three children to an untried hotel, I obviously didn't know what to expect. But from the Saturday afternoon of our arrival to our moist-eyed departure the following week, we were well treated. The seven and five year old girls were always greeted with a smile. As for the 11month old boy...well it's Italy. Our suite of... more
