Grand Hotel Cadenabbia's Guestbook


Back to Grand Hotel Cadenabbia

Dear In Italy,

Italy was great, as always. I have a good review and a not-so-good review. The Grand Hotel Cadenabbia wasn't so grand at all. We paid for a superior room with a balcony and lake view. When we arrived, they gave us a room on the first floor, with twin beds and no shower curtain. At our request, they did move us to the third floor. The view was, in fact, wonderful. However, the rest of the service/amenities was not up to par. The one bright spot was Sonia who worked at the reception desk. She was great. The other staff were not as friendly/helpful. I would say that for the cost, the value isn't great.

We LOVED the Hotel Abbazia in Venice. It was in a great location and even though it's a two minute walk to the train station, we never once heard a train. It is absolutely beautiful and since it was a monestary, you feel a sense of history. The staff was amazing (Matteo in particular) and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Having breakfast in the garden every morning was very relaxing before heading out for the day. And when we wanted to go to Murano, they had a private taxi pick us up and take us out there. I'm sure you know the owner of the hotel also owns one of the factories in Murano - I think it may be the largest one called " Cam".

Even though our experience at the Hotel Cadenabbia wasn't great, we didn't let it spoil our trip.
