Clarion Collection Hotel Griso Lecco - Malgrate

Would absolutely stay at the Clarion again. Staff was great, food was incredible at an affordable price, and the views were unbelievable!

Nestled on the edge of Alpine Lake Como high in the Lakes Region of Northern Italy, a visitor to Hotel Griso looks out onto a panoramic vista of the sleepy town of Lecco on the far side of Lake Como, guarded by the towering, snow-capped mountains of the Italian Alps. It was a bit of a drive from Malpensa Airport in Milan, but well worth the effort to […] spend the night here in this lovely, warm hotel. Read more

Our stay at the Clarion in Malgrate/Lake Como couldn't have been better. The room wasa huge, very modern, and clean. The view was incredible! the twon of Malgrate is very charming. The boats were not running our of Malgrate, so we drove to Belagio to catch the ferry. The drive to Belagio was beautiful. The "narrow road" winds around the edge of the […] lake, and the views are breath taking. There is not much going on in the direct vicinity of the hotel, but it was not a problem with for us. The hotel staff was very friendly. We did not eat in the restaraunt, so I have no comment to make. The hotel was a bragain and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Hotels dot com! Read more

I'll try to shorten it as much as possible - a huge error is the address - it is viale roma or something like that and not strada provinciale on google maps. It took us 1 hour swerving around Lecco to find it! Beside that - Breakfast was awesome! Room is extremely comfy and nice. Staff at desk could be better - When they recommend a restaurant - […] 1. make sure it is open 2. make sure they don't recommend a 20+ euro meal. Guys you can get a 12 euro main course! Read more

The location is great for views of the lake and the town of Lecco, but is a long walk to restaurants and shops in town. If you don't want to eat in the restaurant in the hotel in the evening, it is inconvenient. Breakfast was included in a beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The scrambled eggs should have been cooked longer, as they were runny every […] day. Most of the staff were helpful and courteous, some were not. The Jr Suite rooms were nice and spacious and had large balconies. Read more

My friends and I were thrilled with this hotel. The view from the balcony was amazing, and there was more than enough space for all 3 of us (in a junior suite). It was very modern, comfortable, and clean, and the continental breakfast was wonderful (not just because of the nutella!) You have to walk about 10-20 minutes to reach most of the restaurants/shops […] in Lecco, including the ferry to the other towns on the lake, but we didn't mind, as the weather was nice. The front desk staff was helpful in locating train/ferry schedules and calling a cab for us (and we didn't have any problems speaking English with them). Overall, highly recommended- we're planning to stay there again! Read more

We selected this hotel for its lake view and we were not disappointed. You must get a junior suite that overlooks the lake - fantastic! Best breakfast on our whole Italy trip with an even better view of the lake from the top floor restaurant. The blood orange juice is the best juice I have ever tasted. Very modern/stylish room, comfortable bed, nice […] bag. Large balcony (10 ft by 20 ft) with chairs and table. Its approximately a 1/2 mile walk to the city and on a main road heading north. Cab is a bit expensive at 20 euros but we took the bus back to the train station on the way back for only 4 euros (depends on how many bags you have whether you need to spend for the cab and what time of day). There was a little confusion at the front desk about whether we needed to buy a ticket in advance for the bus to Bellagio (stop just outside the hotel). We ended up walking to town and buying our ticket there. Don't miss Bellagio - very quaint and great view of lake. PS the man at the newspaper "tabachi" at the top of the hill bent over backwards to get us bus schedule information - grazi. Read more

My husband and I stayed here the last couple days of a 3-week stay in Italy. This was our favorite spot out of Aviano, Venice, Rome, Florence, Maratea and one day in Slovenia. However, all these places had their own special unique beauty and greatness. Maratea would be our second favorite being ocean lovers and it being right on the Amalfi Coast. But […] the town of Lecco on Lake Como is so quaint and lovely, and the beautiful room/balcony lake view we had at Hotel Griso made the experience even more breathtaking. The room was close enough to walk into town and explore it thoroughly on both sides of the lake, and the side roads off the lake up the hill was a fabulous stroll. We were there in September and the weather was just perfect. A swimming pool would have been nice since I love to swim, but there was so much to see in town and just relaxing on the balcony taking in the beautiful scenery made up for not having one. The hotel dining experience is a gorgeous view and the food was fabulous that they put out for breakfast each morning. The dinners looked very appealing, but we ate earlier in town. The market up the hill, Euro Spin, had great prices on wine and snacks. I have already highly recommended this hotel for the Lake Como area as a very professional, high-quality place, with a very comfortable bed by the way that we didn't have earlier in our trip at any of the other places. Thank you! Read more

A very nice hotel on the outskirts of Lecco, a small picturesque town on the shores of Lake Como. Although, the staff are not the most communicative they serviced our needs well, including a nice recommendation for dinner at a restaurant at the center of town. The rooms were nice and big and they hotel had Sky TV (the equivalent of cable TV) which had […] a number of US TV shows. Read more

A nice hotel. Big rooms for European standards with big balconies overlooking the lake and the beautiful mountains if you are on the higher floors. Friendly staff. Great breakfast served in a beautiful room with fantastic views. The location is a little far from all the activities if you don't have a car. It's a 20 minute walk from the train station, […] which could be quiet difficult if you have a lot of luggage. Read more

The hotel is hard to find, even with GPS. The name Clarion or signage is less than adequate. Once found however, it is easy to get to. The location is superb. and the views from each room balcony onto the lake and town of Lecco are just marvelous. The breakfast was fantastic and breakfast room on top of the hotel with great views of the Lake was out […] of this wrold. The people behind the desk seem to not understand too much Englaish but were helpful. The location was simply perfect and ideal for exporing the Como Area. We woudl stay again and again and again.

The hotel has beautiful views of the Lake and is in a great location -- about 20 minutes from Bellagio. It is a great value for the the lake view and terrace that you get as part of your room. I would not recommend eating in the restuarant for dining unless you are looking to spend an exhiorbant amount of money. But it is great to have a the free breakfast […] each morning with the wonderful views from the rooftop of the hotel. Also with the free parking you can easily drive to and around the Lake Como region. Read more

Very nice and clean hotel. It is in a small town called Malgrate, very close to Lecco (10 minutes walk). Beatiful view from the room I stayed, good size balcony to enjoy the view. Room size is big, not like other small European Hotel rooms. If you have a car, definetely stay in this hotel. Otherwise there are other hotels in Bellagio or Como that are […] in the town centre. But I am very happy with this hotel and would definetely stay there if I ever go back to Como, which I hope will be very soon. Read more

Thoroughly impressed with this place. The most amazing view...with huge private balconies overlooking the water. The rooms are modern and in pristine condition. The setting couldn't be more perfect and the staff was so friendly. Absolutely a perfect piece of paradise that I can't wait to return to.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms are a little small with not much drawer space, but overall the rooms were very comfortable, clean, and quite, with fabulous views from the balcony. The breakfast is simple but good with fresh fruit. The hotel is just a short walk into town. There is a laundromat downdown if you need to do laundry, and it took just a very short time...we read […] our tour bookks while we waited. If you drive and park, be aware of the scam artists who "help" you with your public parking....they loiter around the parking lot and do some minor gesture implying they deserve a tip for their "service".

Had a very pleasant stay at this moderately priced, very clean well maintained hotel. Room was excellent, view was great, hotel staff very helpful.

This is a resort hotel at a very reasonable price. The quality of the amenities and the very competent and friendly staff were much appreciated. The only issue was the distance from the main train station in Lecco. It was a 2k walk from the downtown area of Lecco to the hotel which was located across the lake in Malgrate. Once the hotel staff and the […] TI representatve provided the pertinent information about the local public transportation options (in this case, bus), all was perfect. Read more

My wife, 5 years old son, and I visited Lecco on Lake Como for a 3 day trip in early July 2010. The hotel is very modern, clean, and located right above Lake Como, with an incredible view of the lake, city of Lecco, and mountains. Staff was very professional, and helpful. Breakfast was excpetionally good, served in a nice large dining room with lake […] view. The room was large enough, and the bathroom was large and modern. Very nice hotel! Read more

Unfortunately we did not have a room with a good view but the room itself was very clean and comfortable. Wifi worked well (important to us) and parking easy. The restaurant was closed the night we were there but it is a pleasant walk into Lecco. A room with a view (most of them seemed to have a view) would have made a huge difference.

Very clean, modern and functional hotel with all the amenities you could hope for. The staff are generally helpful and the restaurant facilities are exceptional.

This hotel was very clean and plush and well-located. The views are absolutely spectacular!!

The views from our room and the breakfast room were fabulous. The room was clean but basic. The hotel lacked atmosphere, both nights when we went to the bar for cocktails we were the only guests. There is very little in Malgrate however Lecco is only a short walk and is lively on a weekend. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel is reasonably priced […] for something so close to the lake.

The hotel offered good quality accommadion and an excellent restaurant. The views across the lake from the all lakeside rooms were spectacular. Some areas of the hotel are out of commission which suggests it has seen better times. The lack of a sunbathing area is a serious omission given the excellent climate but poor options for relaxing in the sun […] in the Lecco area. The town itself is not the best location around Como and is more industrial than most. Read more

The hotel was excellent beautiful view. Lack of wardrobes in the room irritating, we were not told that breakfasts was not included and presented with a hefty bill at the end of the stay. Our friend's air condition did not work they said they will repair hopwever this was not done. Staff not so friendly.

Lovely Hotel in a brilliant setting just yards from the Lake and 10 minutes walk into Lecco. Lots of lovely shops and resturants in Lecco and plenty of nightlife if that is want you want but if you would rather a quiet holiday then that is there too. Easy to get around on buses and trains which are so cheap. We arrived at Milan airport and got on a […] shuttle to the station with a fast train to lecco which cost us 8.5 euros each. The ferry boat can take you to anywhere on the lake where you can spend a lovely afternoon just wandering or eating or both. Hotel rooms are huge with balconies overlooking the lake, nice to relax and watch the world go by. Read more

The hotel was fine but the staff at breakfast clearly had something to be desired. And it would have been better if the eggs and sausages were hot. And the food was cleared away promptly at 10 am when breakfast time ended! Not very nice and clearly not relaxing.

This hotel went straight into my all-time top ten because of its stunning location overlooking Lecco on Lake Como and its clever design giving all rooms a lake-side view and plenty of space within. The storage is discretely hidden, along with the bathroom, behind a glass screen and the beds are wide. The bar has a fabulous view and the hotel is generous […] with welcome drinks and snacks.

Excellent for a weekend break, but it really has the feel of a business hotel. The bar is not a lounge bar, the top bar is closed, although it appears to be open to non residents????

The hotel is situated superbly, overlooking lake and mountains, and a short walk across a bridge to Lecco, which is a much more peaceful and scenic place than Como. All staff were very good except on check in where the receptionist was not that friendly.

Excellent hotel with spacious balconies overlooking beautiful views. Beautiful restaurant! However, it's a bit on the remote site so if u want to go to Como it needs about an hour and it's not easy to find taxi on the street (u need to call). It's a very quiet town but the residents are friendly:)

Arrived in Lecco by train and decided to walk to the hotel. Takes around 15 mins, a taxi costs 15 euro's !!. A little tip, take the lower road to the hotel, as there is a lift up to the reception floor. The hotel is very clean, and all staff understand English very well and are all very helpfull. We stayed in room 508, with an unbelievable view of the […] lake. Breathtaking !!!! The room was large, with 2 double beds and a decent sized bathroom. Things to note though, was no brewing facilities and no bath. The restaurant was on the 6th floor, giving a panoramic view of the lake. Not a great selection on the menu, but the service was first class, as was the quality of the food. The hotel bar was shut over the weekend, but they did offer a free selection of soft drinks and 3 bottles of wine - nice touch, as we were the only ones in there. Lecco itself, in February, was obviously very cold, with not a great deal to do. Shops that were open were limited, and again obviously there was no activity on the lake. But after a day trip to the over hyped Bellagio, we definatly stayed in the right town on the lake. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel for Bellagio, which was very handy. Plenty of little cafe bars, which serve you a plate of nibbles with every round was very welcoming. The train station is easy to reach, and easy to use. A train to Milan takes 40 mins, and cost around 5 euros each way. All in All, a great little town, with a fantastic hotel in Griso. Stunning views, big rooms and a peaceful romantic getaway.

Well-maintained hotel at Lake Como/Lecco. Spaciouse rooms with huge balconies, most of them with a nice view (esp. ones on the upper levels). Lower levels are less attractive. Room design and facilities are quite good, we liked 360 deg. turning TV in our junior suite. Wi-fi was so slow that it couldn't be really used at all. The hotel's restaurant […] was fully booked at the specific night we needed it. The selection of the restaurants within walking distance is extremely limited; the closest restaurant was in 15-min walk. Neighbourhood is mostly motorways. Lake shore next to the hotel is not suitable for sunbaths, walking or swimming. Some construction work is in progress where, hopefully it's gonna be a beach not a gas station. Read more

Wonderfully positioned hotel on the lake, within easy walking distance of Lecco. We had a balcony with a lovely view of the lake. only stayed one night but we were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel, which does not look particularly appealing from the outside. lovely breakfast with another lake vista.
