Hotel Du Lac Menaggio

The rooftop terrace and pool was something I'll never forget. View from up there was breathtaking! Don't know what the other guests were thinking & doing but never saw any of them on the terrace so we had the whole place to ourselves. Can't complain. For a Finn the sauna wasn't heated enough but it does have the best sauna stove in the world, Harvia. They probably heat it properly when the outside temperature gets colder. The noise from the plaza quiet down before midnight and we didn't have any trouble sleeping. Bed and the bedding were really comfortable. We we're really happy that we chose Menaggio as it was far less crowded than Varenna.

We were walking along the promenade through a beautiful place and decided to take a break and have a coffee and something to eat. After a relatively long wait, the waiter brought us half of our order, but the highlight was when they charged us 2.60 euros each for four glasses of tap water, a total of 10.40 euros. I've traveled all over the world but I haven't experienced it yet.

Absolutely brilliant. The most amazing location right on the water in Menaggio (the least busy of the three main towns in Como). 5 minute walk to the ferry, less to the bus stop. The pool has the most insane view of the lake. Pool area is very small with only 2 seats so often there is no space to sit if others are already there. Also the pool is metal so it’s a bit slippery. People on here rating the food is not relevant as you are not forced to eat at their restaurant - there are others nearby!!

Hotel was great- quiet spacious clean rooms, good beds, A/C, lovely big bathroom and great shower. Position right on the lake front is perfect- small pedestrian square directly outside with several cafes and ice cream places. Hotel has a cafe [Cafe Centrale] downstairs and we found it fine for breakfast [not incuded in room cost]- coffee, hot chocolate, croissants, yogurt, fruit all good. Not so good for anything cooked [we tried breakfast toasties, and one evening meal- very average]. Staff helpful. would happily return.

Worst Italian dining experience over 16 years visiting this coutry. I sent the un-fresh seafood linguine back, the tuna salad was still in the shape it came from the tin, the toilet was 3rd world, and flies in the dining room room were having a better time than us. AVOID at all costs. The staff who were friendly were almost apologetic before we even ordered

Great room, very clean great bathroom beautfiul beds. Staff is extremly kind. The location is great, waking up to this view is the best feeling. Also, you can get this for a great price. There is supermarket boat station, restaurant, ice cream, boat rental, laundry place,all in 300m from the hotel. Planning to come to como? Choose Hotel Du Lac

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel du Lac (Menaggio) in early September 2023. We arrived at the hotel early (9 AM) due to our early flight into Milan. They let us check in early (9 AM) which was nice and our room was exactly what we booked... a double room with lake view terrace overlooking the square below (room 103). The room appears to have been recently renovated, the toilet, bidet, sink, and shower all looked brand new. The French doors to the balcony/terrace were new double-paned and provided a great noise barrier (with the doors open, we had a nice breeze and could sit outside and enjoy the view, with the doors closed we could not hear anything outside, including from the restaurant below). So we enjoyed the best of both worlds. The location of the hotel is very nice, not too far from the ferries. And the cafe and cornetti were delicious in the mornings. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel du Lac.

Very nice hotel but extremely noisy with the restaurant under the windows. Superb view of the lake, but what's the point if the noise prevents you from sleeping. Very poor restaurant value for money Some of the staff were unwelcoming. A real mess.
