Lovely hotel - I agree with all the positive comments made by previous reviewers. It was nice to be greeted by name by the management and staff every time we passed through the reception area (though the fact that the hotel didn't appear to be full at the time probably helped). Breakfast a little boring but the evening meals were... more

My husband and I loved our stay here. We booked a room with a lake view but could not have it for the first two nights because a guest had been taken ill. To make up for it the hotel gave us some money back and upgraded us to a suite - then they sent us some complimentary Prosecco. The... more

Menaggio must boast some of the best Italian ice-cream (from the stall in the main piazza, which had queues at 11pm!) that we have ever had! Having said that, our self-catering holiday had problems in that the largest of the 2 supermarkets there was of course down in the town, and we stayed at the top of a very steep... more

We had prepaid a three nights stay at this extremely disappointing hotel. When we checked in, we asked, as we usually do, if we could have a silent room. We were told that we were given a room with the standard we had paid for. We paid around 450$ a night. We got a room in the attic, with a... more

Must admit that I was really worried about staying here when I'd read some of the reviews but had nothing to worry about. Both my husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We had a 1st floor room with a balcony which was spotlessly clean with AC which we really needed. The view was wonderful. The hotel was in an... more

The hotel looks grand from the outside but is a little tired on the inside in certain places, damp patches in some of the halls, and in our bathroom and stains on the carpets. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was good but not anything special. My wife and I were staying here for... more

I stayed at this hotel earlier this month & had a very negative experience. The hotel itself is basic & somewhat outdated, but in a gorgeous location. We did have a room with a nice balcony overlooking the lake. However, this was truly the only positive to our stay here. There is one person on the entire staff who I... more

We can only re-iterate the reviews about this hotel. The location is brilliant - right in the middle of Menaggio overlooking the lake. Price is reasonable considering the position. It hasn't got a bar but there is one right next door -Cafe de Pess. Plenty of eating places around. It is deceptive that the restaurant at the front is called... more

This is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff, particularly the owners, were incredibly rude. They never smiled and did not help with information about restaurants, etc. Other local people in the town said they were known for being unfriendly. We were wondering until then if we had done something wrong! The room was clean but... more

When we arrived there was a wedding and the front desk employees were reacting like chickens with there heads cut off so check in was a little electric and not professional. The room was very dissapointing as it's furniture was like a school dormitory. Cheap cabinets and closets with a musty smell. The carpets were stained in the room as... more

Booked a long weekend in Italy as a surprise for my boyfriend. I was looking for a nice hotel, in a good location, with a pool, good standard accomodation, lake view and walking distance to a village / reasonable restaurants. I'd read reviews in advance and felt 50/50 before we went away to change the hotel, I'd read a really... more

I took my 2 children to this immaculate, friendly hotel this summer. The staff were friendly, the hotel and the grounds immaculate and the atmosphere was relaxed. We only went out once and the children begged to be able to go back to the hotel itself because it was such fun. This wsa good for me because I could read... more

Superb location. Small 3 star hotel right on the lake. Rooms basic but clean and comfortable. Tip: It is worth paying extra for a room with balcony and lake view. We had a huge balcony on the 1st floor over the terrace. Good value for money. Nice breakfast buffet. Some staff extremely nice, some had a non interested attitude. Very... more

We have just returned from Lake Como, my husband and son played golf at the club which they thoroughly enjoyed. Yes it was very demanding and as you are going round you wonder how on earth did they build this golf course into the side of a very steep hill, but this adds to its charm, and the views of... more

Great hotel. We spent five nights and enjoyed every minute. The hotel was in a prime location on the water, a few minutes walk to the ferry and center of the village. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, even booking us a reservation at the famous Il Gatto Nero restaurant and the rooms were recently renovated. We had... more

We have just spent a week at Grand Hotel Menaggio on Lake Como with beautiful weather. Like previous person we were on half board. We don't think Italy have the same * ratings as we do. We believe it to be a good 3*. Mostly the staff are friendly. We found one of the waitresses at the evening meal particularly... more

We stayed four nights at the Hotel Bellavista on Lake Como, and thought it was very nice. The first night, we stayed in a street-front room. It was a bit small and pretty noisy, but the night was cool enough to close the windows, which helped. It did have an American-style shower, so that was nice. We arrived in Menaggio... more

We were very excited about visiting Lake Como, after an energetic week in Switzerland. We had read good reviews about the hotel, it's service and food, so looked forward to experiencing Italy's finest. This is not it! Upon arrival we were met with spectacular views, which must be some of the finest in the world, and a beautiful looking hotel.... more

I loved everything about the Grand Hotel, Menaggio. We travelled with Alitalia and received excellent service, private car from Milan airport and a cold platter was on offer when we arrived at 12;30am. The room with balcony was adequate, breakfast was really everytning you could have asked for, the dining room was beautiful but the star attraction was the breathtaking... more
