Great stay everything clean pool was excellent location great staff great rooms with view amazing breakfast very very nice. Pool showers nice touch for checkout day if you prefer to hang around the pool for part of the day, which we did.
Drain in shower needed attention.
All in all the VALUE for this hotel compared to other lakefront hotels, is unmatched in my opinion.

This hotel is amazing! The views are spectacular! The restaurant was the nicest restaurant in all of Italy that we went to and we went to a lot! They’re wonderful front desk staff and the fine dining room were the friendliest nicest most professional I’ve ever encountered❣️
Of all the places we visited in Italy and there were a lot. This was our most joyous spot to visit with spectacular views, wonderful hotel, and super kind and friendly staff from the kitchen to the dining room to the front desk when you check in. This is first class at it’s finest❣️

The hotel is right on the lake and our room had a lake front balcony that provided stunning views of the lake and the mountains. The pool is a great amenity.
The room was spacious and cheery. The staff that greets you is excellent. A shout out to Captain Roberto, who provides private lake tours by boat.
My only negative is the restaurant. The dinner menu is very limited and the staff, while well meaning, was incompetent. Of 4 meals we had there, something went wrong with 3 of them, including sending back a steak that was ordered medium rare and was delivered well over done. It was replaced by a steak that was merely seared and uncooked. I should have sent that back as well. In other words, avoid the restaurant.

This is a true gem! Right on the lake with a lovely pool. The setting is fantastic. We loved the old fashioned touches such as turn down service in the evening with towels refreshed at night as well as in the morning. The hotel has been recently refurbished so the bedrooms are well thought out and nicely appointed without being too formal. We had a room overlooking the lake and loved waking up to the sun streaming in through the windows before heading down to a gorgeous breakfast. It has to be said that the food is amazing! The added bonus is that the ferry is just along the road which makes it really easy to hop over to other towns for the day, although the little town of Menaggio is charming and nowhere near as crowded as Bellagio. We will definitely be going back to this great hotel.

If you make sure to get a newly renovated room, all is good. If you don’t, it’s a completely different stay. The rooms that are not renovated are dingy older and need a deep cleaning. Shower is small, etc. If you get a newly renovated room it’s completely opposite. Air-conditioning is fabulous. Beds are comfortable pillows are wonderful, etc.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the pool and pool chairs were fabulous.
The concierge staff need to get a little more training. They were unable to really answer questions about the area, the restaurants things to do, etc. They were young locals who really didn’t seem very trained. For example, when I asked if they could make a reservation for dinner the concierge said “you want ME to call?“ That was a little surprising. She was very sweet, but they need training on what a concierge’s role is in a nice hotel.

We stayed for two nights and the experience was shockingly poor.

We had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door from the beginning, but hotel personnel entered while we were out, moved our personal belongings and threw away papers I had placed with my medication.

Another occurrence while we were sleeping in the afternoon a male staff member entered the room without knocking and walked all the way to the bed, and after realising he said he had the wrong room. This is the staff who’s usually at the entrance and helps with parking, probably he wanted to clear or help with luggage for another room..
Around 20–30 minutes later, another housekeeping staff member entered again, probably for cleaning or who knows why despite the same Do Not Disturb sign!! Unacceptable!

The personnel has no sense of being cautious and at leat knock. Instead they all just to barge in!

The room also could not be locked from the inside, which made the situation even more uncomfortable.

We reported everything to reception immediately, but there was no proper follow-up, no real apology from management and no gesture at checkout. Felt like they didn’t really care.

The room was decent, but the staff training, privacy standards and guest safety were completely unacceptable for a hotel in this price range. I would not stay here again and do not recommend.

An excellent hotel, very well maintained, right on the lake and next to the ferry terminal.

The breakfasts are particularly superb and the dining options are very good indeed. Plenty of helpful bar and dining staff.

Only minor criticisms are:
- tourist advice at the front desk. Certainly they try to help but are generally very very busy. While everywhere else is, if anything, overstaffed the front desk is understaffed.
- no turndown service to the bedrooms and a small complementary chocolate
- a Nespresso coffee machine in the rooms!

Great choice

Good hotel, convenient; very kind friendly staff. It is dated so we did not have hot water first night. The rooms decor is old but okay. Spacious enough. The AC does not turn on because it is cooler times, no choice but need to open the semi balcony door for cool air / circulation however bugs will come in. Had to clip the curtain together with hair clip and spray curtain with bug spray to prevent bugs from entering. Have to close doors by dawn to stop ferry noises, or mum the public’s chit chatting voices. The piano bar is classy when someone is playing. The pool is semi warm, swimmable for sure. Short walk to town square.

The location and positioning of this hotel is hard to beat. The building is still very grand, although the check in lobby is very underwhelming and the breakfast room is rather sterile. The once elegant interiors are tired and peeling wallpaper is evident throughout. Despite that, it is still a lovely hotel with a beautiful garden and pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, and a superb location.

The hotel is a little 'older' in style, but very nice. It's not in the tourist area but it is right next to the ferry area. If you are traveling using pulic transportation, taking the train to Varenna and then Ferry across to the hotel is easy. Better than taking the bus from Como S. Giovanni. Although the bus stop is directly in front of the hotel. Menaggio side of the lake you will see the sunrise. Varenna side sees the sunset. Bellagio sees both but is larger and full of tourist.
The Grand Hotel Menaggio allows you to be close to tourist areas, but be away from them enough that it's quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again.

An old and worn-down 3-star hotel

This is by no means a 4-star hotel. At best it’s 3 stars. The rooms are old and tired and have a damp odor. The staff is wholly unhelpful - they wouldn’t help make restaurant reservations and weren’t really helpful for providing advice for activities. The food at the hotel is mediocre at best.

Also (and this is more of a hotels.com issue) this hotel shows is being something like 1.5 miles from Bellagio. As the aero flies, this is true, but there is a lake in your way so to get to Bellagio you must take a ferry - or drive around the lake for about two hours.

This Grand hotel was unlike other higher priced Grand hotels. Located right next to the ferry landing, the hotel is lake front. Views of the property and lake are breath taking. The rooms are spacious, breakfast plentiful, and had a Victorian decor in the lobby.
It was a 5 min walk to the square where all the restaurants are located. Ask for Mario, an outside taxi driver that helped with other towns on the same side of the lake.
Although restaurants close at 10 pm the hotel barman was able to make pizza and sandwiches that were delicious and much appreciated. A fact that the hotel receptionist did not know, the bellboy knew!

Beautiful, idyllic hotel on Lake Como

We had a wonderful time staying at the Grand Hotel Menaggio. We originally planned to rent a car but you can access it easily using train, bus (C-10), or one of the boats. Be sure to check the last boat departure time from one of the ports. The hotel was clean with beautiful views. Even when it rained one day, it was beautifully idyllic. All the staff were helpful with suggestions, directions, and help. The breakfast buffet was delicious! You have easy access to Varenna, Como, and Bellagio. We highly recommend staying here.

The view from the swimming pool was mesmerizing. The air conditioning did not work incredibly well during record-breaking heat however. The front desk staff were very helpful with very specific questions. The dinner in the restaurant was one of the best dinners I've had in my life and I'm 62. The property has not been updated since 2007 and it does sort of show although I understand that there has been a pandemic. But finding a relatively affordable place to stay in such a spectacular setting was really wonderful.
