Hotel Meandro - Lake View

Meandro hotel is perfectly situated for visiting stunning Gargnano. (But be prepared for an uphill walk from the centre back to the hotel.) We were warmly greeted by the owner who was consistently helpful during our stay. The other staff were mostly average in my opinion. We were rather disappointed with our room, which was classed as a suite with a lake view balcony. Rather overpriced, in my opinion, and no comfortable seating, not much space, a rather small and dated shower room, and a small balcony (cheaper rooms seemed to have bigger balconies). Stunning view. Lovely bed and bedding. We were rather disappointed with the restaurant for the dinner service. It was rather cold in there, so I had to go back to the room to get our coats to wear. The food was ok, but quite overpriced compared to what you can get in Gargnano. Breakfast was very good. The indoor swimming pool was stunning and I made good use of this. Large and warm. The garden took some finding as it really isn’t much of a garden, unless of course I didn’t actually find it. Overall, a decent place to stay, but relatively overpriced, and issues that we had were never resolved.

Would you stay in a place where the owner/manager told you to ‘I do t give a f**k about your review!!!! Our safe would not open and I needed medication. We had just come back from our room after beautiful dinner in the restaurant and when I called to see if I could get some help I was asked do I need access to the safe as the person I was speaking to was now at home. I said are you serious this is a hotel and there is no one to help. I will be leaving a review. We had to use the bottle opener to get the safe to actually open and when I called back to say that we had managed it what is said at the start is what I was met with and he hung up. I am told he was either the owner or manager. I am seriously unsure as to what happens here if there is an emergency say a fire or something else as it would appear there is no one on site after 10.00 pm. A very expensive place to be to be abused by the owner.
