What guests think

At Grand Hotel Menaggio, travelers praise the lakeside setting with beautiful views, immediate ferry access, and relaxing garden and pool areas, while many highlight friendly, helpful staff that contribute to an enjoyable, convenient base for exploring Lake Como.

Rooms are commonly described as dated, with cramped bathrooms, firm beds, and occasional maintenance or Wi‑Fi issues, and seasonal limits on air conditioning can leave some spaces warm. Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and variety, though bar service and selection receive mixed feedback. Expect a scenic, well-situated stay with classic charm and some trade‑offs in room modernity and services.

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.

Staff was great overall but gave us wrong info for the ferry so we missed the ferry leaving because of it. Overall not bad but not worth the cost.

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.

Lovely hotel from the waterfront. Breakfasts were wonderful and restaurant staff excellent. At check in, we did not feel warmly greeted at all. The staff seemed a bit too busy for us. We also needed their help because our luggage was lost for the first day, and we had hope that they would help us work with the airline, but there was no one to help us at the front desk at all. The rooms also are dated and the bathrooms very uncomfortably situated with the showers very small and the whole bathroom very dark.

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.
