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.

Location was great but the staff was lacking. Front desk was horrible. Did not give knowledgeable information on dining, not help resolving problems, was told we would have a porter to help at 3 am but they do not report to work until 7 am. They did nothing to help make this trip pleasant. Will not stay at this hotel again or recommend it

Very good experience!!

It was a beautiful, quiet hotel. Great views of the Lake and next to the Ferry to explore the surrounding areas. Walkable to the small center city area and not too crowded.

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.

Beautiful location, beautiful property. A bit pricy though

My wife and I and our 9 month old baby stayed here and the staff were excellent. They were friendly, only too willing to help/offer advice and made a real fuss of our baby! We had a beautiful view from our view and the location was excellent being close to both the ferries and centre of menaggio. We are already planning our next trip!
