The hotel was very comfortable and well located. The owner was extremely supportive in helping us arrange transport to Milan when all the public transport was non-operational and taxis fully booked.

Owner seemed more focused on the restaurant business than hotel customers. Didn’t receive any information about breakfast at checkin/ later on, and owner didn’t seem to care when we were to pick up our luggage and leave. Hotel itself is clean and what you would expect.

I would highly recommend the Hotel San Giuseppe. It is a must stay if you are traveling to Cernobbio Italy. It is a family owned and operated hotel which is beautifully maintained and decorated. The owners and their children are all pleasant, friendly and eager to assist which has created a welcoming atmosphere to all guests.

It's a cute little hotel in Cernobbio, just a few minutes walk from the lake. The lobby and restaurant were visually appealing, and our room had a little outdoor space as well.

Home from home away atmosphere and the friendly demeanour of the family running the business made us feel comfortable and helped us with a few tricky issues we encountered.
The food and service was also excellent..
We would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in a small community atmosphere but only 5 km from Como.

Beyond All Expectations!
This hotel is truly a gem located just a short walk from the lake and the Cernobbio ferry station. The rooms are large and comfortable and the lobby is beautifully decorated. The best part, however, is the amazing family that runs the place. I could not recommend this place more!

Very nice place
This is a family-run hotel, with very warn hosts. The couple and a young man run the show. The entrance to this cafe+inn is greeted by some very warm and attractive pieces of furniture and LED lighting. The ground floor is basically the cafe and the rooms are all on the upper floors with limited parking at the rear of the property.
The host is very friendly and was ready to provide useful information about the town, places to go. The ground floor cafe is not open for lunch but for breakfast and dinners (both of which are paid and not included in your room tariffs)
The rooms are very clean and comfortable beds to sleep. The bathrooms are slick and modern with eco-friendly packaged toiletries with natural ingredients.
Property is centrally located and easily walkable from town centre, ferry station and beautiful villas around.
Parking is charged at $10 per night but is needed as there are no off-street parking options around.
The property is beautified by ivy running all around the cafe, which itself is decorated with plush wooden furnishings and trailing LEDs. It has got some beautiful chandeliers in the cafe. Coffee at the cafe was delightfully tasty!

A beautiful family run hotel. Such lovely people that are so friendly and helpful.
They have put a lot of love and thought into their hotel. The restaurant doesn’t open every night but served lovely food when they were open. The room was nice and we slept OK. Don’t expect much of a view from the room but it was clean and comfortable which is all tgat matters..
