Hotel du Lac

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel du Lac! The location was perfect, and the view from our room's balcony was truly breathtaking. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and meeting the Leoni family was a memorable highlight. Breakfast was both delicious and beautifully served with a stunning view. Our room was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The drinks at the bar and the food at the restaurant were both delicious, and watching the sunset from the rooftop bar was a truly marvelous experience. We absolutely loved our time there and can’t wait to return!

This is a very nice hotel in a wonderful location right on the lake. We had a deluxe prestige room with a balcony and a beautiful lake view. Unfortunately it rained a lot when we were there so we didn’t get to sit on the balcony, but it was still nice to wake up every morning and open the curtains and look out on the lake. The room was a good size with plenty of storage space and a very nice modern bathroom. The hotel was very clean and had a wonderful buffet breakfast with fresh cooked eggs, other hot items, cereal, yogurt, beautiful pastries, fruit and cookies. They did a great job of always replenishing everything promptly. The staff was always so helpful and friendly, especially Judith who worked at breakfast and Kiera who worked at the front desk. It was so nice to be able to step out of the hotel and be right at the lake and the ferry port and be able to walk everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay in spite of the rainy weather and if given the opportunity, we would definitely return!

We stayed here for 3 nights and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Perfect location to the ferry terminal, shops, restaurants and the stunning views from our balcony. We arrived by car and the hotel did a great job reaching out prior to our arrival to provide options. They reserved a spot at a parking garage as we had a large van. You can park the car for 20 min at the hotel to unload your luggage and then park. Driving thru Bellagio is not easy due to people traffic and very narrow streets. We just left our car in the garage for the entire stay. Our room was on the 4th floor spacious with seating area. Hotel has a rooftop bar open from 7-9 I think, we went once and enjoyed the ambience just wished they played Italian music vs. American. Drinks were very good. Breakfast buffet with a view @7:30 offers something for everyone. Staff was very helpful with answering many questions and explaining how the ferries work and how to read the schedules as it was very confusing. After visiting many other towns we were happy we stayed here it does get very busy during the day but that’s when we went to other towns lol. The morning and nights were amazing to walk around and enjoy Bellagio beauty. Would love to return someday.

The hotel staff were most welcoming and helpful. Our room was beautiful and immaculate. We particularly loved our nightcap on their breathtaking rooftop terrace. The breakfast selection and views were outstanding. We absolutely loved our stay there. We would return in a heartbeat, highly highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this hotel. Excellent location in front of lake. If you take a taxi, there is a street in front to get dropped off and you can roll your luggage into the hotel. All vacation rentals and some hotels are located up on the stairs so you will have to hand carry your luggage. The breakfast is very nice outside on the terrace with a lake view. My favorite part is the spa. There is a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, shower with multiple jets and functions. They have a very nice room for massages and their masseuse is excellent. We would stay again at this hotel.

Hotel du Lac was truly outstanding! From the moment we checked in, everything was perfect. The staff was amazing and so helpful with any questions we had about the ferry and helped provide solutions so we would make our train leaving the area. The rooftop bar had amazing views & the breakfast was really hard to beat. Could not recommend this hotel enough!!

Seriously this hotel should be minimum 4 star! I would reccomend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Lake Como! We had an amazing stay here and they made it incredibly special for my sister in law who was getting married! We didn't even get a chance to do the Spa but if I go back to Lake Como I will definitely be going back to Hotel du Lac! The location is perfect! The breakfast was with a beautiful view!

Unfortunately my wife and I had some very bad news on our trip when we found out her father/my father in law had passed away in Australia. Our two boys were at home on their own having to cope with the loss of their grandfather without us. Well, the support and genuine care and interest from Chiara and Graziano, was exceptional. They also did not charge us for the night we were unable to stay in Bellagio as we had to go home to Melbourne straight away. They organised the transfer to the airport. These people really cared and treated us so well, we can do nothing more than recommend them and the hotel. Thank you to Chiara and Graziano.

*Important to note we did not stay at this hotel, this review is in regard to the water front and rooftop bar only. Visited the waterfront bar on our first night in Bellagio. It was lively and a good atmosphere. Service was good for what you would expect In Lake Como. The old fashioned was watery. The dirty martini was lemon based, so be prepared if you are more accustomed to olive. Too sweet for my girlfriend. We then got an Aperol spritz and Espresso Martini, both which were good and the Espresso Martini was a frequent drink throughout the next few days. Two nights later we made a reservation for the rooftop bar at the hotel. Simply go to the front desk receptionist and ask for a reservation. Each employee we encountered was very nice and helpful. On the rooftop the views are just incredible. I ordered a Passion Fruit Mojito, which might have been the best drink I've had in Europe so far(I never order mojitos but it was suggested by a fellow tourist, great suggestion). Again, the espresso martini and aperol were good as well. Highly recommend checking this place out. Service up top was very good and every employee we encountered was happy to take pictures for the guests.

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Du Lac. The staff was outstanding. The young women working at the front desk (was so sorry I didn't get her name) helped us out with reservations, ferry schedule, you name it, she was there to help. She was wonderful. Our room was nice. The bed was nice and big and pillows comfy. I could never figure out how to use the thermostat so it was a bit stuffy in our room. The last night I slept with the window open and it was much cooler. Our patio overlooked the lake and had a small table and two chairs. Beautiful views to behold. Breakfast was ok. I missed the fresh fruit and made to order cappuccinos we received at other places. They have a great roof top terrace bar which was great. Again, outstanding views. The central location makes it ideal for hopping the ferry, going to the botanical garden or finding a place to eat. Very nice stay.

Love this hotel! Staff are friendly and accommodating. It's quaint clean the bedrooms have a lovely balcony overlooking the lake. Drinks are reasonably priced and it has a nice roof top terrace. It even has a spa which is included in your hotel reservation.

My husband and I chose Hotel Du Lac for our 3- night stay in Bellagio based on its location and Trip Advisor reviews. The location is perfect, on the street that goes along Lake Como, and directly across from the boat that takes you around the lake. The people who work there are very nice and super informative. They were quick to make lots of recommendations on restaurants nearby and circle spots on a map. They were also very kind about letting me practice my rudimentary Italian skills. We reserved a superior double room and were happy to have a bit of a lake view from our small balcony. I would have enjoyed a full lake view but most rooms had been sold out by the time I made my reservation. The room itself is small, and not terribly interesting. I really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching people pass by on the small street underneath. The bathroom was renovated with a nice shower, bidet, and heated towel racks. Breakfast is included and there is a lovely sitting area with a lake view. The breakfast offers a large variety of items, including eggs and bacon, cereal, fruit, and pastries. I had a couple of delicious sweet croissants. There is a beautiful terrace overlooking the lake on the fifth floor. There is a bar that was closed the first two nights due to weather. The third night we enjoyed cocktails on the terrace. Staff was friendly. It seems that the bar is only open for two and a half hours or so, but they let us stay there and enjoy the view for as long as we liked. All in all, the room is just ok, but location, staff, and extras make me recommend the hotel.

The hotel is in a great location and the roof top bar is fantastic with great staff and an amazing view. That is why I gave it 3 stars. What ruined the stay for us was the incredibly rude front desk staff. They would not help us with any travel plans, train tickets or tours. Also, the rooms over the restaurant smell like cooking from the breakfast and dinner. The smell trend my stomach. Also, you can hear everyone walking and talking in front of the elevator and going up and down the stairs. It was very noisy if you wanted to sleep late in the morning as the noise/talking etc started at 7am. I would skip this hotel and book the hotel Florence a few doors down. The front desk people there could not have been nicer and helped us when hotel du lac wouldn't.

We really had a perfect stay. The front desk concierge was helpful with a few bookings and also suggested the rooftop bar for drinks at sunset which became our standard fare. Morning breakfast was also quite a bit more than we expected with hot food, fresh pastry, lots of fresh fruit and salad, along with meats and cheeses. And of course, the room; just large enough with a balcony to relax and take in all the lake views. Really, it couldn't have been better-and at a very reasonable price.

Overall pretty bad experience 1. Terrible rooms - only some are updated, they don't tell you this and then call every room a Delux room. Half the rooms are not renovated and are extremely old. THE ROOMS ARE NOT AS PICTURED ON THE WEBSITE! 2. Bugs - I get it it's on a lake. But there are bugs all over the rooms, live ones and dead ones. 3. AC- didn't work! When we complained the said they had an 'engineer' come look at it but it was still broken! It was sweltering hot, we asked for a fan and they brought us one from the kitchen which smelled horrible and was super loud so we couldn't use it. Ultimately they brought us another one and we finally got to sleep super late. 4. Rude staff - the manager or whoever sits at the front desk was very unprofessional. When we informed him of the unrenovated room not being delux he started almost scolding us. Then when we complained about the ac in the morning he started almost threatening us with nonsense. Overall it was a pretty terrible experience. We will never stay here again and we recommend that you do not either.

My husband stayed here on our honeymoon way back in 1999 and we swore we would some day return with our children. Just returned (with a 14-year-old and a 9-year-old as well as my parents in their 80s) and were extremely happy with the service, the location, the room, everything. The views out the lakeside rooms are stupendous and of all of the hotels this one seems to get the least of the street/cafe noise. The hotel restaurant is the best place we ate in Bellagio, and we tried most of the recommended places we found on Yelp. Would heartily recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

In a country and city of fantastic restaurants, Belkagio's Hotel Du Lac's excellent upper level restaurant prevails due to the small number of tables, awesome views, remarkable food and gracious and attentive staff. Led by an informed and professional maitre d, the staff provided a fluid and exquisite array of food and wines. A must with reservations advised. Mangia!

A terrific location in Bellagio. Being lakefront is nice. Having breakfast or dinner on the veranda with a view is a must do. A very special spot. The food is good too. The service is very nice and they really pay attention to the details.

The location of Hotel Du Lac couldn't be any better! It is right across the street from the water taxi station, on the water front. The hotel has an elegant lobby and friendly staff. The breakfast served on the second floor overlooking the lake is wonderful way to start the day! The hotel was very quiet despite being on the main street and across from the water taxi station. The rooms are a nice size with modern bathrooms. The hotel was immaculate while we stayed there. My only detractor would be that the decor in the rooms is very dated and feminine (lots of pink and floral). However, you don't go to a destination like this to stay in the room! I would stay here again based on the location and service, but I'm holding back the 5-star rating based on the decor.

Fair. Best part was location and view of Lake Como from the room. But the room... we travelled with friends, booked our rooms at the same time and for the same price, but their room was twice the size. Not a single drawer so we lived out of our suitcases for three nights. Breakfast... scrambled eggs that were so runny there was a puddle on the plate. Frankly, they seemed like Egg Beaters. Staff was friendly and helpful. Still, if we return to Como, we'll find another place.

Their café out on the street was my favorite place to sit and watch the water. Best tiramisu in town, and trust me I've tried them all!

The Hotel Du Lac is exceptionally good. We have a nice large room overlooking Lake Como providing spectacular views in both directions. The staff here is absolutely the best I've encountered anywhere. My other half was sick upon arrival and the staff went out of their way to get her a cup of soup to help her feel better. They are truly concerned about her and offer assistance in any way needed. The Hotel Du Lac also has a beautiful roof top garden where you can bask in the sun. This is an all around winner.
