While the property is beautiful the rooms are not $700 per night worthy. They are barren, bathrooms very tiny, air conditioning barely worked. The balcony was wonderful however we've started at other properties with balconies with views and have spent considerably less, even in high demand areas.

If you plan for your staying in Varenna to become a memorable experience then look no further than the Royal Victoria Hotel! We Indulge in late afternoon drinks/cocktails at the bar downstairs looking over at the beautiful lake in front of us. Service and attention to customers at this hotel makes you feel like royalty!

Everything about our stay was amazing!!! From the friendly staff, our beautiful room, the delicious breakfast, and of course the VIEW!!! The location is so perfect, simply breathtaking and so easy to get to/from the train and the ferry. Highly recommend taking advantage of the Botanic Garden in the sister property next door, it’s incredible!

Awful experience staying in this hotel. It’s a fabulous location and beautiful building but that’s where it ends. The room was small and we were above the kitchen so the room smelt of burnt cooking oil. We did make the staff aware but they didn’t offer to move us and were really unhelpful. They made out they had no idea of the problem!! But we found other complaints about the same issue from other travellers and also the porter mentioned they had issues with smell in these rooms.
