  Lovely Waterfront Hotel in Menaggio – Perfect Choice!

  Invalid Date

  What a lovely hotel right on the water on Lake Como! It offers a beautiful setting full of classic old-world charm. We happened to book one of the newer, updated rooms that didn't face the water—the room itself was clean and modern, but we'll definitely hold out for a lake-view room next time! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the hotel bar is fantastic, featuring cozy indoor and outdoor seating alongside a live pianist.Choosing Menaggio over Bellagio was definitely the right move for us—it’s far less crowded, yet just a 5-minute walk into town. Plus, the ferry terminal is right next door, making day trips to Bellagio and Varenna super easy!

  Wonderful Home Base for Exploring Lake Como

  Invalid Date

  Within minutes of our arrival at the hotel, we knew we had found a great place for our special trip. Parking - while tight - was relatively simple and unquestioned. Our deluxe room was newly renovated, bright, and cheerful, with two Juliette windows overlooking Lake Como. The room had absolutely everything we might need for a multi-day stay, and we found the front desk and parking staff to be helpful and very friendly. Our initial positive impression was only magnified when a congratulatory and complimentary bottle of champagne for our anniversary was delivered to our room just after we arrived. This would be one of the few hotels/restaurants on our trip that acknowledged my note regarding the reason for our stay. As the days passed, we continued to be quite comfortable and happy with our room, the excellent provided breakfast buffet, and the prime location next to the ferry - which occasionally exposed us to horn and people noise but proved ever so convenient as we explored the area. The hotel was also within easy walking distance of many wonderful restaurants and, aside from one particular place, we found the front desk's recommendations to be excellent. Some commenters have been critical of the newly renovated spaces, which are admittedly very bold, blue and contemporary. But we enjoyed them as something well thought out and different from other places we had stayed. The price point for this hotel was a little high - but nothing like some of the other luxury hotels nearby which appeared to offer similar amenities at 5x the price we paid. Like other reviewers, I noted the spot could on occasion be a little noisy - either ferry or pool party. But the noise never lasted long and the convenience of the location and beauty of the shoreline view easily won out. For our part, this was a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion and explore Lake Como and we wouldn't have changed a thing.

  It’s ok but not great

  Invalid Date

  It’s ok but needs a bit of money spent on areas, we stayed late September and a few things needed fixing. Examples include frayed fabrics and the disabled toilet was missing a toilet seat. Some staff were lovely but I couldn’t recommend it. Great view from the terrace.

  Great location but rooms need a lot of attention

  Invalid Date

  Location great. actually on the lake and without a road in front like many others. pool lovely. views fantastic. little noisy due to being next to the ferry port but thats ok. service overall was good. the ladies in the bar were lovely and made great cocktails.downsides - whilst downstairs was lovely the rooms were not great. we had two rooms.we had a lake view junior suite with a private terrace (not so private it would appear as its just separated by a couple of strips of fabric from the terraces either side). the furnishings were very tatty. broken glass screen in the shower, frayed carpet, dents in walls, missing plaster, marks on the mattress and walls etc. We also had a regular room that had a shower over the bath but no curtain or screen to stop the water going everywhere. some of the room a little scruffy.Our room was also directly above the bar which was not that much of a problem apart from the last night where we could hear a group of people shouting and swearing at one another after midnight. doesnt appear anyone from the bar or reception went to ask them to be quiet. very disturbing.Mentioned about the state of the rooms to be told that they are currently refurbishing rooms but that seems to have been the same answer to everyone on here who has mentioned the state of the rooms
