    Room wasn’t great, bath was very small with little storage, air didn’t work well, not much storage for clothes(lived out of our suitcases) and just generally not impressive for the price.

    People were great, breakfast great, location great, views great , pool great dining and bar great.

    The hotel was excellent, great staff and brilliant location.

    • Superior Double or Twin Room with Lake View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The hotel is an old building and some of the facilities could do with refurbishment. For example the shower screen in our bathroom leaked, leaving a pool of water every time we had a shower. The main evening menu in the hotel restaurant could do with a revamp. It is almost all red meat, which we don't eat. More variety would be better.

    Location was excellent, right by the lake with pool, having breakfast out by the lake and with the ferry terminal within less than 5 min walk. I would definitely recommend spending extra to have a lake view room. Town side rooms overlook the main road.

    I was disappointed to find that the lunch menu offered significantly fewer options compared to the dinner menu. For someone staying a longer period – and especially in my case, where a health condition makes lunch the main meal of the day – the lack of variety became a real issue. Over the course of 7 days, I had to eat the same dish on 4 separate occasions simply because there were no other suitable options. The most unpleasant part of my experience, however, was the interaction with the head waiter during lunch service. I truly believe that his presence is entirely out of place in an establishment otherwise filled with kind, professional, and dedicated staff. The way he treated me – a guest who came to relax and be treated with respect – felt, in my opinion, inhumane. Although I had ordered the same dish two days in a row due to dietary restrictions, when I asked if it could be replaced with another type of fish, I was immediately told "no" – without him even consulting the chef. The second time I tried to change the dish because I had eaten it so many times already, he told me it was a different fish on the plate – which simply wasn’t true. I was lied to, straight to my face. I felt humiliated and discriminated against, as if it were somehow my fault that I had a medical condition. His attitude completely shattered my sense of comfort and trust. Had I stayed any longer, I would have preferred to eat elsewhere – or not eat at all – rather than endure that kind of treatment again. This experience affected me deeply and, honestly, should have no place in a setting that prides itself on hospitality. If I could rate this part of my stay separately, it would be one star without hesitation. That being said, I want to emphasize that the rest of the restaurant staff were extremely professional, and the food itself was delicious.

    Everything was excellent! The location is stunning, and the room was impeccably clean. The housekeeping ladies were very kind, especially Mrs. Dorina – a true professional and a wonderful person. I wholeheartedly recommend this place! If you get the chance to visit, don’t miss a boat ride with Mr. Roberto – an amazing person who gave us interesting explanations and treated us exceptionally well.

    Needs refurbishment and upgrade

    The pool area is great and the front lake location. But the hotel is old. You can not change that and it kinda adds to the charm. But you can not beat the value and the convenience of the location. No air conditioning in the rooms and breakfast could be better. Whole hotel and rooms need an urgent upgrade. It feels like you walk back into 50s

    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.

    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.
