Nice hotel and reasonable price. Shower very small as in many hotels, but great view from the…read moreroom's nice balcony. Many people may not be in shape to walk around the area - we took a stairway that was 92 steps plus other steep inclines - but it's that way all over Bellagio, and well worth it (and I'm not one that's in shape!) Happily we went during the off-season so could get around but not everything was open either. Included breakfast was good.

Getting here was pits. We took the ferry option. Sounded like it was the best option. From Como…read moreto Lezzeno took only 30 min with only one stop at the dock across the lake. Had to walk to the hotel from the dock (drop off) which was good 10 minutes with luggage but no side walk and very narrow road. Not good, not to my scale, unsafe. Once at the hotel, all went well. They had to scan the passport, do the welcome drink, surprised us with bottle of champagne. Went to eat at the restaurant at the shore level. Very attentive service. For American, easily Michelin rated service. You know the kind where they come and change the plates and utensils every time you finish the dish. Also, paying attention to you at a distance (not to hover) and immediately responds. Awesomeness. Shower? Wow. It was very soothing to ise waterfall option. Not a rain shower but water fall. Stream of hot water falling from the ceiling, easily one of the highlight of this location. Forget about the weak water pressure, restricted water flow, dirty and moldy bathrooms of USA. Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton! Need to send your US people to here to learn the basic. Actually I did see 4 star rating. I m gonna check on this. Room is spacious, well appointed and comfortable. Glad to stay here!

After touring the fabulous Villa Melzi gardens and traversing the hilly cobble stoned Bellagio streets adorned by abundant shops and restaurants, it was time for lunch. The Hotel Metropole is conveniently located in the town, and the alfresco dining offered provided a perfect view of the lake. There were plenty of tables available when we sat down, so we selected one with an optimum view. It was a great spot to watch the public ferries traversing the lake, and the private water taxis buzzing about in this busy little town. We selected the Salad with Prawns, and Spaghetti Carbonara. Both were nicely prepared, the prawns were fresh, and the spaghetti cooked perfectly al dente, in a tasty sauce. Service was good, and the patio venue unbeatable on this beautiful day. This was a solid four-star experience for our pleasant lunch.

We had already had Lunch and we were in the mood for either coffee or ice cream. The Hotel Metropole Snack Bar has some nice scenic outdoor seating and yes it's a bit pricey. But so what? We were on vacation and we were only snacking. My ice cream sundae (see picture) was delicious and refreshing, and of course the people watching was worth the cover charge alone.

The location and view from here is jaw dropping. The hotel also has a private van you can shuttle from the hotel to Bellagio for free, just have to book your times in their available slots before hand.

Highly recommend and will be back next time we visit!

Hotel has nice large rooms with ecellent views from my 6th floor. Noise level on 6th is not bad for city hotel as long as you keep balcony door closed. Btw, nice balcony.

But normal for this area. Typical setup in lobby, return key when you leave for the day. After all too big to take with you. Staff is helpful with directions, reservations, provided umbrellas as well. Great stay here.

The artistic atmosphere with the friendly owners and their pets brings out the best from any holiday.

We will definitely come back!!
