Having returned from staying at this hotel last month i just had to send you my views of the Grand Hotel Cadenabbia,Lake Como.Six of us travelled to Lake Como having booked through the Travel Department in Ireland. On arrival we were very quickly booked into our rooms, which were all pre booked lake view rooms.The views were magnificent and especially... more

Was the worst holiday experience I ever had in my life!!! It was like staying at an old peoples Recidential Home. The rooms were like a cheap French motorway lodge, the food was from a 1980s 'NHS' catering. The service, desorganized due to shortage of staff. The electricity cutts-off every day, mostly from 3pm until 7.30pm and there is not... more

Its not to say that our stay was necessarily "bad" but it definately could have been better at a different hotel. We arrived by bus because it was a long way from the train station to the hotel, which sucked for us because the C10 bus went by two times before it would stop to let us get on, so... more

This lovely old building has been well retsored - but lacks atmosphere. If youre looking for a holiday hotel with stunning views, accessible to reliable/cheap transport and within a walk of the beautiful Villa Carlotta & Gardens; and you dont mind lots of British Coach tours for company - this is the place to be. Hotel was very clean but... more

Beautiful on the outside, but the rooms are like a cheap motel. Dirty floors, REALLY small bathrooms. Breakfast is just disgusting - undercooked eggs, fatty bacon, a large bowl of prunes???? - yuck! Noise and traffic in front of the hotel was loud and dangerous. Won't be back. more

This hotel took us for a wild ride and didn't seem to care how badly they were screwing us! We booked our one night hotel stay two months earlier directly through the hotel's website which cost us $350. We arrived at 6pm only to be told that our room "had been given away" and that "there are no other rooms... more

Our family of 4 stayed here in early June for two nights. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a lakeview room with an amazing terrace looking out over Lake Como toward Bellagio. The views were stunning and the terrace (complete with lounge chairs and table and chairs) made hanging out on the terrace a real delight. The room size was... more

I had never visited Italy before and when this hotel came up as a special offer,I took the plunge. I had the most wonderful holiday due to the friendly and attentive staff of this hotel, nothing was too much trouble for them. I stayed in a single room at the back of the hotel with a lovely garden view. It... more

What can I say?! Could be a large residential home! Definitely not 4 star - more like a 3 star. It is tour bus hell - big groups bussed in for 1-2 nights. Think holiday reps punting their wares in the reception area. We stayed in a lake view room. Great views and the balcony is nice to sit on... more
