    The property is dated and should be refurbished . The lobby staff could have been a bit more welcoming . They were courteous but very business like . A little affect would cement a warmer connection between guests and staff . When you’re staying there one week, it makes a difference. What was missing for us were some friendly exchanges to feel More welcomed.

    Location was excellent. Breakfast was excellent

    Loved our stay, but the rooms and beds need improvement
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The rooms are small and the rooms facing the lake are even smaller(somewhat claustrophobic), the beds are hard as a rock and very uncomfortable! The front desk kindly arranged to have a mattress topper added that was a little improvement. If you are facing the street, it can be very noisy - day or night. The bathroom lighting was very dim, one could hardly shave or put on makeup. The hair dryer was tucked in a tight corner of the bathroom that made using it awkward and difficult. There was a leak from the shower, which we reported to the front desk. Breakfast was fine, but not fantastic as some other 4* hotels have offered

    The location of the the hotel was great, it's right next to the Menaggio ferry terminal which is very convenient. It is also an easy walk to restaurants and the main square. The common spaces in the hotel were truly beautiful- the lobby, dining room, and the outside patio overlooking the lake. The pool was heated and we had the opportunity to swim.

    Beautiful & expensive – but worth the splurge!

    • Standard Double or Twin Room with Lake View

    Rooms are a little dates but I overheard they are actually about to close for renovations to update which is good to hear. Being told to not sit at a 6 person table at breakfast when there were 30 other tables free would also have been nice. One waiter did say this, and the audacity I was shocked. But that's Italy for you. Other than that my stay here was perfect.

    This was quite the spot! While it is a little bit pricey given the room decor – you are in Lake Como and the views were worth it. I arrived at midnight so there were minimal staff around, so had to wait a bit after travelling 8 hours via train to check in - I picked this spot specifically because it was close to the ferry port which was so great, and an easy 4 min walk into Menaggio town was great. After spending the last 5 days hiking in the dolomites an easy stress free stay was what I was after. As a solo traveller it was a great place and felt safe. I booked a lake view room so it was everything I could of asked for, for the classic Lake Como view.

    As noted above, the carpeting of the rooms was disappointing in that It was clearly shabby rather worn out and occasionally spotty! The bathroom was very tight in space to the point of great discomfort. Some of its fixtures such as air-fan were dysfunctional and useless and couldn't be repaired. Dame applied to the Safe. Water Taps were also apparently outdated unlike the shower and waterflushing sysyem that were in very good condition! I'd say the Bathroom followed by carpeting were clearly behind the rest of the facility's excellence.

    Location is outstanding. View and proximity to transportation was the best for both Bus & Ferry. Interior decoration was outstanding; beautiful and maintained the essence of the era it was built in even though a few items were quite shabby and iccasionally some figurines and statuettes were oddly modern. Staff was excellent everywhere especially Restaurant except for only one blonde lady at the reception (she repeatedly gave us wrong Info Re# transportation schedule!) Quality of food was great. Sleep quality was very good with the exception of the AC which could not be properly set up (either too cold or too warm). Mattress and pillow quality was excellent and inducive to relaxation and comfort. Despite the excellence of the food quality, the Chef probably needs to be less innovative! When one orders a Tiramisu -for example- one expects a particular dessert, not quite a modified looking and tasting alternative even though it might taste good but still not what you expected.

    The parking at the hotel is limited and can be crowded, and the elevator to the rooms is small and slow. The room that we chose had two twin beds and was on the small side, as was the bathroom. The room decor was a bit dated, but still comfortable.

    The beautiful hotel, pool and grounds are on Lake Como, which is spectacular! The air conditioning in the room was excellent. The breakfast (the only meal that we had at the hotel) was varied and delicious. The staff was courteous and efficient. The ferry and the town of Menaggio are both within short walking distance (the ferry is basically right next door!) There is a little corner store nearby to buy sundries, and the bus stop is right in front of the hotel (we took the bus three or four stops to visit Villa Carlotta!)

    However......the beds we had was a joke! Me and my friend had both a single bed, since there weren't two double beds. But the beds were so small and had an old woolen blanket and very old looking bedspread, which made the room look so outdated! Also the rest of the room was looking like it really needs an update.

    The hotel is beautifully located on the water with a great pool and nice outside seating area, next to the ferry. All super easy accesable and very friendly and helpfull staff.

    The hotel is lovely but rather tired and could do with updating for the price they charge. The location was great but we were disappointed with the lack of decent restaurants in the local area, we only managed to find one on our last night.

    Rooms could use a redo. Bathroom a bit small. Need robes in room.

    I previously stayed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and I realize it would be very unfair to compare this hotel with that one. Hotel was ok, not great. Needs some TLC and bathroom was quite small. The staff was very nice.

    The room was small. Worse was the very tiny bathroom and having to step over the toilet to get into the shower!! I asked for a room change on the first day and it was never organised for us despite another guest being given a different room two days after I had asked!

    The location was central to everything and situated next to lake Como so the views were spectacular

    The one thing I was not thrilled with was in front of the patio of our room there was a big ledge filled with rocks. It took away from the lake view and there were cigarette butts in it. After a day or two that did get cleaned. The bathrooms are extremely dark. New lighting is necessary for the bathroom and new hair dryers that you can use anywhere in the room would be helpful. They are attached to the wall in the bathroom so you must blow your hair in there. Also, the wallpaper needs to be updated in the room because you can see it is incredibly old and it is pulling away at the seams. The mattress was also rock hard. I had an incident with one of the waiters. He was very rude and threw down a plate of food on the table. I did report him and later I spoke with him and said let's start again. I think we had a communication problem, and he was frustrated. The Maitre'd in the restaurant needs to take a cue from his wait staff to be friendly and to smile more. He is too uptight. Everyone else was awesome, especially Julia!!!!! The staff at the front desk were very helpful too.

    The old-world charm of the hotel is beautiful. We loved having the lake view with a spacious patio. Our room was very spacious, and housekeeping kept it exceptionally clean! The bar area and lounge are beautiful places to sit. Outside is spectacular by the pool with a stunning view of the lake and mountains. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on the patio were wonderful. There were plenty of choices for breakfast and lattes and cappuccinos were delicious. The ferry dock was right next to the hotel which made it so easy for transportation. The walk into the village was a short one and there were several wonderful restaurants to dine in.
