Lizard Hotel is a 3-star property located in Como, a few minutes’ walk from the historic walls and the city’s main shopping street.
The hotel offers simple and functional rooms, all with air conditioning, minibar, satellite TV and private bathroom with courtesy set, but it also offers a range of apartments with kitchen and separate living room, ideal for families or extended stays, some of which are located in a separate building with garden or city views. A true Suite with an independent living room is also available.

Lizard Hotel offers a fairly wide range of options, from classic double rooms to independent apartments with kitchen. The standard rooms, all around 15 sqm, share air conditioning, private bathroom, minibar and flat-screen TV with cable channels, and differ mainly in bed configuration, between an extra-large double bed, a large double bed or combinations with a single bed.
For those looking for more space, the hotel offers several apartments located in a separate building or in the main property, with two separate bedrooms, a living room with sofa bed, a kitchen equipped with dishwasher or oven and one or two bathrooms. The Suite, with its own living room and patio, and the 1-Bedroom Apartment complete the offer for those who want more independence during their stay in Como.
Air-conditioned room with simple furnishings and free WiFi connection, among the most flexible in the property thanks to the combination of a single bed and a large double bed.
