What guests think

Across reviews of Hotel Sonenga, travellers praise the warm, family-run service, relaxing pool and quiet hillside setting, while noting the walk to Menaggio’s center is 10–20 minutes with steep steps on the return.

Many guests enjoyed the breakfast and on-site restaurant, though a few mention hot items running out or confusion and extra charges when breakfast isn’t included. Rooms are generally comfortable but dated, with recurring remarks about thin walls and occasional maintenance or climate control shortcomings. Most reviews rate cleanliness highly, with one noting mold and hair, and several flag parking as limited or fee-based. Expect a friendly, low-key stay with simple comforts and helpful staff.

La chambre était froide et pas chaleureuse. Toutes les éclairages fonctionnaient pas, la fenêtre de la salle de bain ne tenait pas fermé. Le petit déjeuner est bien préparé, copieux et frais mais reste onéreux. Le personnel est agréable Il y a possibilité de stationner devant l’hôtel mais il il n'y a que 18 places pour 24 chambres et est facturé 7€50 par jour... C'est au calme, une jolie vue mais difficile de descendre en ville à pied, donc en voiture.

The hotel stay was just what we needed. A quick walk to the downtown area (via sidewalks and stairs). But watch our for the relatively steep walk back. We had plenty of room, our car parked close, and a great view from our balcony. They have a great pool area as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The property is nice and clean. The pool was great. The staff was very friendly. There is definitely not air conditioning. The room was hot. I thought our room included the “free breakfast” listed on the hotel website. AFTER my family of 5 ate the breakfast we were informed that our booking did not include breakfast. It’s €15 per person. Definitely not worth the money. They should have informed us of the charge before we ate.

We arrived late and he picked us up . All the staff in the hotel are very polite and kind . Room is very clean ; sheets are so white and the room is big . Breakfast is also great 👍 Stay in this hotel when you go to Lake Como . Perfect location to enjoy . From the balcony of our room we have a partial view of the lake which is nice . You can walk to the ferry station -it is a good exercise 😀 Ruby -USA

There were ants on the Floor of the room and the furniture was very 80’s like. Also the walls and celings was very thin and you could easily hear your nabour. So very basic indeed. But, the staff was very nice, but had a hard time understanding basic english. The sourroundings and pool area was very nice and quite. The hotel is situated within 10 minuts walk of city square of Menaggio and the ferry port. But overall, compared to the Price level of hotels in Menaggio, it was very good.

Rooms did have option of Netflix and prime which was great. Breakfast delicious - continental with small amount of cooked food. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and polite, my children and I loved them. We didn’t have a car and walked everywhere but you must have good level of fitness to do this as hotel up very steep hills with many (many) steps. Has car park though if you have a rental. Gorgeous swimming pool and sunbed area. Play park with football goals opposite hotel. Loved it and will return Thank you Sonenga ♥️

This stay was terrible, from the check in to the checkout … The time for the checkin was awful, they only allow it from 3pm to 7pm which is ridiculous for a hotel. We had issues getting to Menaggio and tried calling the property to tell them we were going to be late … no answers and when we sent a message, we received no answer. When we finally got there the staff were not telling us anything, we had to ask the question. In the room there was a tv but had no signal … why even put it at this point. The AC in the room was not working and nobody was able to do anything about it. The restaurant at the property was slow and the food was not good, they messed up our order multiple times when there was barely any customers. They also charged us for something we didn’t order. The staff was not helpful and didn’t understand anything, only one person was able to speak English. Finally for the checkout the reception was not even open when we left the premises. Such a bad experience with this hotel and will never book there again.
