Como City Life is a guest house in the historic centre of Como, 600 metres from the Basilica of Sant’Abbondio and just 500 metres from Como Borghi station.
The property offers four room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with a wardrobe, designed for those looking for an affordable and functional solution to visit the city and the lake. The bathrooms are shared, as is the kitchen available to guests, a detail that makes Como City Life particularly suited to independent travellers, groups of friends or those travelling on a limited budget.
The location is convenient for reaching the main points of interest in the centre on foot: Como Cathedral, the Broletto and the Basilica of San Fedele are all within a kilometre and a half, while Baradello Castle is about 600 metres away. WiFi is free throughout the property. It’s a practical option for those who prioritise a central location and the freedom to manage their own meals, rather than the services of a traditional hotel.
The rooms at Como City Life share a simple and functional setup: air conditioning, wardrobe and heating are present in every room type, while the bathroom remains shared on all floors, as is the kitchen available to guests for preparing meals. Room sizes range from 10 square metres for the single room to 15 for the largest double, covering different needs, from the solo traveller to couples or small groups of friends.
Those travelling as a pair can choose between the room with a large double bed, the one with two matched single beds, or the twin room designed for those who prefer not to share the same bed. The single room, the most compact, remains the best option for those staying alone who still want an air-conditioned, well-organised room, with access to the upper floors via lift.
Air-conditioned double room of 14 square metres, with a large double bed, wardrobe and heating. The bathroom is shared with other guests of the property, and the upper floors can be reached by lift.
This is the largest room in the property, at 15 square metres, fitted with two matched single beds forming a double bed. Air-conditioned, with a wardrobe and shared bathroom.
A 14-square-metre twin room designed for those who prefer separate beds rather than sharing: two distinct single beds, air conditioning and shared bathroom, with access to the upper floors via lift.

Como City Life is located in the heart of Como, on Viale Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in a residential area a short walk from the historic centre and the lake shores. The neighbourhood is quiet but well connected, with bars, ice cream shops and small restaurants a few hundred metres away, such as the historic Oreggia Anna Maria or the Greek restaurant Mithos, both about 150 metres from the property.
Como Borghi station is just 500 metres away, while Como San Giovanni station can be reached in about 1.2 km: two convenient rail links for those arriving from Milan or travelling along the lake line. Milan Malpensa Airport is the closest, about 31 km away, followed by Linate at 40 km and Orio al Serio at 49 km. The historic centre with Como Cathedral and the Broletto can be reached on foot in about 15-20 minutes, while Baradello Castle, which overlooks the city from above, is just over 600 metres away.
Como is well suited to being explored on foot in every season: in summer, the lakeside promenade and boat trips to Bellagio or Varenna are the most popular activities, while in autumn and winter the historic centre, with its medieval towers such as Torre Gattoni and Torre di Porta Vittoria, offers a more intimate atmosphere. History enthusiasts can visit the Volta Temple, dedicated to Alessandro Volta, or the Silk Museum, which tells the story of the city’s silk-making tradition, both just over a kilometre from the property.
