A nice hotel that offers a wonderful view of Lake Como as its best feature
Pros:

WE actually paid almost 50% of original room price to get relocated to a room with a view. But that was essential as the small terrace was lovely and views of Lake Como was what gave the hotel value. But when assessing the value of the hotel we felt certain things were missing -- free water was only available on the first night? Minimal tissues, an empty fridge, and the shower feature was not up to standard at all. Probably due to the overall age the bathroom facilities were poor and the restaurant and bar were being run by another company completely which took away some of the grandure the hotel. So a nice hotel that could do better. Our stay was also helped by the attitude of one staff member who was exceptional in her efforts to offer service which was Eleonora.

Cons:

Bathroom , limited features to meet the value being paid, and needs to offer more than just a wonderful view....i

Pros:

Der Ausblick vom Balkon (kleines Dachzimmer zur Seeseite) war fantastisch. Da wir einen Parkplatz mit angemietet hatten (dieser befindet sich gegenüber vom Hotel im Parkhaus), war parken kein Problem.
Menaggio hat eine schöne Strandpromenade.

Une chambre très bruyante dans une hôtel très bien situé (pour les chambres sur Lac)
Pros:

La position de l'hôtel au bord du Lac de Côme, la piscine et le petit-déjeuner face au lac

Cons:

Les chambres sur rue ont un bruit infernal. Il faudrait a minima des doubles vitrages et une ventilation. L'upgrade pour la chambre sur lac coûtait 60€ par nuit pour un prix déjà élevé de 230€ par nuit

Wenn Menaggio, dann Hotel Bellavista
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels und die sich daraus ergebende Sicht über den See dominiert alles.

Cons:

TG ohne Aufzug..
Der Lift im Hotel entwickelt Geräusche als wenn ein IC im Bahnhof einfährt.
Hotel und Restaurant mit gleichem Eingang aber offensichtlich ohne Zusammenarbeit.
Wird aber alles übertroffen durch Lage und Aussicht des Hotels (s.o.)

Great pick!
Pros:

Location was unbeatable, clean, beautiful property, my favorite of the Como towns. Views from my balcony were just incredible. Quiet at night. Wasn’t hard to find parking, less than 10 min of driving around town (October).

Cons:

The beds were not very comfortable. The pillows were such that 1 was too little and 2 were too much

Ein wunderschöner Ort, um auf einer Motorradreise eine Pause zu machen und sich zu stärken.
Pros:

Sehr netter, Empfang und Apéro am Swimmingpool, danach ein Dinner direkt am Comersee mit Blick auf Bellagio und Varenna und die Berge rund um den See, das Dinner war exzellent und der Wein (ein Sforzato di Valtellina) war hervorragend. Das Frühstück ist für die gebotene Qualität gar nicht teuer und am Ende durfte ich auch mein Motorrad alleine in der Tiefgarage mit einem Oldtimer Motorrad von Moto Guzzi (eine Superalce, ich glaube es war älter als ich) übernachten lassen, ich glaube, die beiden haben gar nicht geschlafen, sondern die ganze Nacht über gequatscht und sich bestens amüsiert.

Cons:

Eigentlich ist mir dazu gar nichts aufgefallen, da kann ich leider nicht weiterhelfen, sorry, ausser, dass beim Apéro das IPA von der lokalen Brauerei ausgegangen war, das war etwas schade, aber das Amber war auch schon sehr gut.

Hard to better the location in Menaggio
Pros:

Don't be put off by the poor reviews. The hotel probably has the best location in Menaggio just 2 mins walk from the ferry port and the same from the cafes of the main town square. Our room was spotlessly clean and the hotel appears very well looked after. Room had a kettle, safe, fridge and very effective air con which was welcome when outside temperature exceeded 35! We paid extra for a balcony and lake view and whilst I dont think it was particularly good value I think Lake Como is just generally quite an expensive place to stay, so when in Como and all that !!! View was spectacular across to Varenna and Bellagio and balcony was a wonderful spot to enjoy breakfast or an aperitivo so definitelyglad we upgraded. Swimming pool was again well maintained and we always managed to get loungers despite it being small. Such a treat to have a dip after a hot day's sightseeing. Staff were helpful and told us how and where to get bus tickets to Luggano for shopping. We did have a couple of issues - the beds weren't made when we arrived but the lady on reception was very apologetic and did it straight away and we had an evening without any cold water in the bathroom so we couldn't take a shower or flush the toilet. This was rectified the following morning and thankfully didn't happen again. So in summary the hotel provided everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. It is 3 star and if you want 5 star accommodation there are other options in town - but they cost 5 times the price!

Wonderful
Pros:

A very grand feeling hotel. Menaggio is all about the ferries and Hotel Bellavista is 2 mins walk away. The view from the balcony is of both Varenna and Bellagio, with snow capped mountains behind. The pool was a real treat for a lakeside hotel. Lovely staff. A very memorable stay.

Past Due on a Remodel
Pros:

This place is in need of a serious remodel. Tiny room, hard bed and the AC only worked sometimes. The bathroom was nearly inoperable. I’m 5’1” and had to duck for a shower, with water going everywhere. It also didn’t drain The hallway, eek! The location is picture perfect with a lovely balcony view. But don’t expect to sit by the pool and enjoy a cocktail, that’s not allowed. Also the pool closes at 6:30 so no down time after walking all day. Overall a beautiful location but needs a lot of work.
