Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Mixed cleanliness: several guests praised general upkeep, but there was a notable report of a dry urine smell in a bathroom and at least one guest cleaned it themselves — suggests inconsistent housekeeping that needs attention.
Service
7.3
Mixed to below-par service: a few staff (e.g., a kind gentleman at reception) were praised, but multiple reviews mention inattentive or uninterested staff, forgotten breakfast orders and lack of smiles, indicating inconsistent training/morale.
Location
9.7
Outstanding location: repeatedly described as 'perfect' or 'hard to beat' — right in the heart of Menaggio, steps from restaurants, cafés, ferry and with strong lake views.
Room Quality
7.8
Rooms are comfortable with great views, balconies and good air conditioning, but several guests note small size and dated/antique decor that could benefit from updating.
Amenities
10
Excellent amenities: consistently praised rooftop pool (panoramic views), sauna, private parking/garage, elevator and reliable air conditioning — these are highlight features for guests.
Value for Money
7
Some guests feel the hotel is pricey for a three-star property and mention peak-season pricing; overall value is acceptable given location and amenities but perceived as slightly high by several reviewers.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Mixed F&B: a few guests enjoyed the café, but several complaints about café/terrace food quality and breakfast service (orders forgotten) indicate inconsistent food & beverage standards.
Overall Experience
9.4
Very positive overall experience: guests repeatedly highlight the setting, views, rooftop pool and location as making stays feel special, though service inconsistencies and some room/cleanliness issues temper perfection.

Could not sleep due to a hard mattress
Cons:

The mattress was very hard like sleeping on a tablet barely slept and got up with very bad back pain. Why not get better mattress? Foam mattress in Amazon’s are cheap.

Beautiful location. Beautiful views.
Pros:

Brilliant location right in the square so can be busy and entertainment on in the summer but it all stops at 12am. Great for people watching. Parking is a wee walk away but worth booking as it’s safe and gives peace of mind.
Great location for restaurants and ferry. Lovely market outside when we were there.

Cons:

Pool area was very small but understandably as it’s a rooftop one. Beautiful views though.

Mooie plek, slecht personeel
Pros:

De locatie is top! Mooi aan het water, leuk plein.

Cons:

2 volwassenen 1 kind. En maar 1 bed.
Muziek uit het restaurant/bar is letterlijk te horen op de eerste verdieping. Zonnescherm en rolluiken uit en in maakt ongelofelijk veel herrie en zorgt ervoor dat je wakker schrikt of nog erger als je kind eindelijk slaapt is die weer wakker.
Personeel lijkt ongetraind, wij zaten 15 min voordat we werden opgemerkt ook nadat wij zelf de kaart hebben gevraagd. Dit gebeurde ook bij het ontbijt a la carte. En het er voor gezorgd dat er elders in het dorp zijn gaan ontbijten en ook avond eten hebben we daardoor niet hier gedaan.
Dit alles heeft ervoor gezorgd dat wij eerder zijn vertrokken en ook daarbij werd niet gereageerd of gevraagd waarom dit was.

Pas terrible, il. Ait mieux aller ailleurs, c’est pas les hôtels qui manquent…
Pros:

Sa position au centre ville, bon état de la chambre

Cons:

Pas de forfait petit déjeuner, du coup ça fait 30 euros le petit déjeuner à deux, c’est un scandale
Aucun responsable dans l’hôtel, que des jeunes qui doivent se débrouiller
Aucun numéro de téléphone pour joindre un responsable la nuit, un idiot qui avec oublié de prendre sa carte pour ouvrir la chambre, à taper dans la porte de 2 heurs à 4 heures du matin

Ok
Pros:

Property was clean and excellent location

Cons:

Property is outdated on the decor, noisy and you smelled what the kitchen was cooking. Had reserved two cribs, only had one. Got the second one a they told us there was a 14 euro per day charge. We finally didn’t pay.
