We loved the view of Lake Como and all the city lights across the Lake from our balcony. We loved our walks and enjoyed eating at the local Italian restaurants. Very cute and quaint village. We can not wait to go again. Very good location.

Beautiful spot. The location was perfect, o less then 5 min walk to ferry dock so access to all was very easy. Our room was great, we had a large deck which was awesome for morning coffee/tea or late night wine. amazing view out on to the lake. Service was very good, breakfasts were very good, better then many other hotels. upper floor bar was nice with music playing one of the nights we were there. Al;l in all perfect stay for 4 nights. I would definately stay there again.

The property overall is very nice and the rooms were comfortable. The view is also very nice from this property as well. I would say that the location isn't the best considering you need to take a ferry to the main villages in Lake Como. In addition the dinner here wasn't the best, it is very overpriced and restricted to a fixed menu. Considering the location of this hotel doesn't have many food options nearby it would be better if there were more options within the hotel. The service also was not the best - we were only given paper cups & couldn't get any room service.

I like everything except the hard pillows. They have friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was excellent as well as the service. I highly recommend this place. Once I parked my car I didn't need it. The boat service stations are very close to the hotel. I visited other villages via boat services. They were very riliable and very affordable. There are other restaurantscwithin waling distance as well. The views from my room were amazing and unforgettable. My wife was very happy with this hotel selection.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our room had a balcony which was beautiful with breathtaking views, but this is a very old hotel. The room and beds were clean, but did have an old smell and very outdated. At one time many years ago I’m sure this was one of the best hotels. I think they still use the same blankets they used when they first opened many years ago. We reserved the room that had a king and 2 twins which ended up being a king and 2 chairs that made a twin. My kids had no complaints they were perfect twins, but the room was very small and when the beds were made out it was very hard to move around the room. Obviously the hotel needs to update their bedding, paint the walls and refresh their lobby that has water stains all over the ceiling, they did update the floors there was no carpet in our room, but for the price we dealt with all of the down sides for the breathtaking view we woke up to.

Very dated and poor standard for the price paid.
The section of the hotel that our room was in was incredibly dated and in poor condition. Old broken furniture and very dreary. On checking in, they requested that we paid an additional 150, as the room was a double room, this despite paying an initial £200 via a hotels.com website. Today, I received a notification that an additional £64.99 was taken from my bank account, and we have no idea why. I have now raised a complaint about this hotel. Very poor all round.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Grand Hotel Cadenabbia. Extremely clean and loved our view and balcony. Our room had everything and more. The breakfast was excellent again with a nice view, the balcony was spacious and beautiful. Hotel staff were amazing greeting us and making us feel welcome as well as ensured we were aware of all the amenities. The hotel was super close to ferries going to Bellagio. Everything was absolutely perfect! Our favourite hotel by far for our Euro trip.
