Stunning views from tired hotel

Stayed in junior suite with lake view - spacious room with magnificent view. Room decor was tired and needs refreshing and modernising. Breakfast was not good - went 40 minutes before end of service and food was depleted, no tables set, and staff already packing away. Better food in local restaurants.

A beautiful hotel by the lake. Clean, spacious, and centrally located. It’s a shame that using the fitness facilities requires an additional fee; this should be included. The air conditioning did not work well (reported this to the hotel multiple times, but it was not addressed). Despite this, still a recommended place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property and surrounds are incredibly beautiful, the lakeside beach is a real bonus. Rooms are small but well furnished and clean. The hotel staff at check in are functional but lack warmth and personality. Parking is €20 a night, however there is a free car park a short walk from the hotel. The hotel gym comes at a cost, an iron could not be provided to iron a shirt, had to pay for pressing, a continuing theme of the hotel. A bit of a two-tier guest system employed at the hotel also. A huge amount of beds on the beach front reserved for suites and was removed from another non reserved area, along with other guests who had been there all morning, to make room for families who had turned up with dogs. This area of the beach was designated as pet friendly, not pet only. Overall a perfectly nice stay but the staffing and continual attempts to extract more money from guests left me questioning whether I would return. Oh and the final bill included a 5% tip for the hotel, alongside the local tourist tax.

Almost perfect stay…

Loved our stay here - friendly staff, beautiful room and hotel public areas, brilliant location. We had a standard room - didn’t pay for lake view but got incredible view of the mountains (on 3rd floor). Room was way more luxurious than we’d thought - great size and facilities . We ate at the bistro and pool bar - good food, not cheap but not silly prices bearing in mind the surroundings. Few downsides: There was a 5% service charge added we didn’t know about until we checked out - would have been good to know up front side of the pool is lethally slippy - I saw 4 adults fall on it including my husband who cut his foot quite badly. And lots of kids slipping - definitely needs sorting.

Grand Dino is truly grand!

We were recommended to the Grand Dino by friends, and they were right. The reception desk was staffed with the most knowledgeable and patient people; we asked them everything from nearby hiking trails to extra toothpaste, and they always provided excellent service. The daily breakfast worth the price with a great selection of foods and drinks. Although it was a buffet, the chef was kind enough to cook omelettes for us. The rooms were in great condition and super clean. We had no complaints about the room at all. The hotel restaurant, Last Hall, provided great food and service, especially the bread service, pasta, and beef. The pool was well-managed with plenty of towels, chairs, and umbrellas. Don't miss the fountain shows that run every 30 minutes between 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM each night. Can’t miss the fountain outside the front entrance.

A nice stay with a disappointing check out.

Me and my girlfriend spent the weekend in this hotel. Worth mentioning, this is a conference hotel and probably works best for bigger groups. Not a bad place for a romantic weekend but as an example the breakfast is served in a giant ballroom and not so intimate. The location with a private beach is perfect and in early September it was almost empty! Service was flawless and we even had an upgrade to a slightly bigger Junior suite with a fantastic lake view. However, here comes the criticism. There was a huge garden party taking place on Saturday which was probably the main reason for "moving" us. It would have been appropriate to get that information when checking in. Even though we were staying at the other side of the hotel we could hear the bass until the party stopped at 2am and my girlfriend didn't get a proper sleep. This was the only negative thing and when we mentioned this at the check out we got a very strange reaction. The lady at the front desk told us there were signs informing about the conferences and this should be enough for us to understand it could be noisy!? Then she made the weirdest move, instead of dealing with the complaint in a professional way she crumpled the bill in from of us and said she would deduct the 5% voluntary service fee. This was not my intention, I would gladly pay more to the professional room-service and staff in the bars and restaurants.

Place was wonderful! Fantastic views. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. The local area is lacking in shops and the like if that was part of your plan, but it was not ours except for a couple of souvenirs. And there are some available in the hotel, in Stresa and on the 3 islands. If I were to gripe, there are no in room drink facilities (tea / coffee) and the complimentary bottles of water were only for a welcome. Since I go up and down the country I have gotten in to the habit of waking up and having a coffee in the room before venturing forth, and what with having the balcony, I did feel I missed out a little having a morning coffee with the fantastic view! I also felt the price was a touch on the high side not to include breakfast, but the hotel seemed full so perhaps that merely ensures adequate service standard. However the hotel was fantastic, do not take anything else away from this review than that! Additionally upon check out we were offered water for the journey home and were given 2 packets of absolutely delicious biscuits made at the hotel. We are already thinking about going back next year!
