Great hotel on edge of Milan, close to conference centre and a mall.

What can I say? This hotel was absolutely amazing, from the top-notch hotel service at the front desk to the property cleanliness; it outshined every hotel I’ve ever been to in my life. The town of Menaggio is very walkable and can be seen in half a day, so if you want to fill up your itinerary, you can take a ferry to Bellagio, or Varenna. We opted for breakfast, and oh my goodness, it was amazing. I absolutely loved their orange juice, as well as the variety of food they offered, from the charcuterie to the main dishes to the snacks. Absolutely amazing. The hotel itself is a pretty big property for being in Maggio. Its cleanliness, gym, indoor spa with an indoor pool, sauna, and resting areas were absolutely amazing and should definitely be utilized. I want to thank Lorena, who was so helpful throughout our stay, from beginning to end. She was absolutely amazing, and the women at the front desk who assisted us absolutely deserve a raise because they work so hard and helped us with absolutely everything. I proposed to my girlfriend right in front of the hotel, and the hotel staff accommodated all my requests in helping me propose to my girlfriend of nine years, and it was just so perfect. They were helpful, kind to all of us, and we would definitely go back in a heartbeat. This is well worth your money because who knows if you’ll ever be back again so make those unforgettable memories with Grand Hotel Victoria!

The hotel is conveniently located for visiting Lake Maggiore and Como with a rental car. The train station is a short walk away for a day trip into Milan without the hassle of driving there. There is very limited parking at the hotel itself. There is a parking lot about a five minute walk away. Not an issue for me but it could pose a problem for those with mobility issues. There is an elevator in the hotel. Breakfast was very fine with a wide assortment of choices for all tastes. My only problem was noise. The first night I was over a dining area which was very audible in the room. It was quiet after 11:30 pm. I tried the same room one more night because I was told this dining room area was only used as an overflow on Saturday evenings. However, it turned out that what I thought would be a rather quiet street had non-stop traffic in the weekday morning rush hour. I then moved to a higher floor away from the street and the rest of the stay was quite quiet except the for the neighbour's barking dog throughout the day. I would recommend that travellers who are light sleepers like me ask for a room on the second or third floor away from the street. The staff were all lovely and concerned to be helpful.
