Grand Hotel Dino

A beautiful property in an amazing location…lots of ways to enjoy the view…great room with a view and property amenities

Good to be alive
Beautiful location couldn’t be better superb setting lovely staff been going there for 40 years so that says it all highly recommended. Thank you.

The hotel was generally quite nice, not sure about 5 stars nice, but it had a lovely overlook of the lake. The serve at breakfast and meals was fantastic and the food even for a large group event was very good. They were great about accommodating gluten free options and other allergies/food preferences which is very appreciated. The front desk experience was very strange and at both check in and checkout they were very distracted and bordering on impolite sometimes. The fotness area was nice but I did not use anything else as there were surcharges which is a bit strange given how expensive each night was. I will likely go back as my company has events here, but I would not choose it personally.

We have stayed at this Hotel a few times & is very comfortable. Various rooms to choose from depending on your budget. A lot of up dates have taken place, adding a beach area. In the center of town where numerous restaurants are available but do a search to find the right ones.

Beautiful hotel. Beautiful location. Lovely room and staff. The only complaint was climate control in the room really wasn't working to cool it down. It was too hot for us. I ended up opening the balcony door to the much cooler outside air. The room cooled down quickly. I wish that I had done it hours before because we would've slept much better. But other than that, this hotel is just lovely and I would certainly stay here again.

Nice, big and convenient hotel and room (2 adults and one child). Excelent reception and kindness

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.

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!
