Comments
I had to bring the towel from my room and there’s no water in the hotel gym either – but you can get tap water from the dressing room if you want.
The treadmill was broken and the hotel gym itself very dirty with dust – maybe because it’s partially outside and maybe because not so many people use it?
The hotel gym is open from 6:30am to 10pm.
Besides the hotel gym, there’s an outside fitness trail.

The hotel is absolutely stunning with an equally stunning modern hotel gym complete with core equipment for cardio and weight training.
Opening hours are 24/7.
Although dumbbells only go up to 50 lbs/22kgs, it suffices for a decent workout during a vacation which is the only reason to be at this hotel!
Only recommendation is to complete the equipment with a leg extension machine for quads and something for calf workouts.
There’s also has a separate yoga studio.

Comments
It’s a beautiful hotel with an elegant spa that has an adjoining small but compact hotel gym. Generally, the space could’ve been used better.
Limited weights and machines but enough to do a decent workout whilst in holiday or work – condition of workout equipment was good, some wear but nothing detrimental.
It would’ve been nice if they’d had dumbbells heavier than 44 lbs/20 kgs and another bench – they only had one.
Opening hours are 24/7.

No, the hotel gym is very basic, small and not very enticing.

Not sure. I would stay at this hotel because it’s lovely and within walking distance to the town and hiking trails.

Hotel Mennini

Hotel: Hotel Mennini

Time of visit: June 2021
 
Equipment
Two spinning bikes and a multi-gym…
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? No.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? No.
 
Comments
The hotel gym is located on the hotel’s top floor which gives you a great view of Milan whilst working out.
 
The weight-stack of the multi-gym goes up to 90kg and it’s a great piece of equipment in perfect working condition. You can do a good variety of exercises with it!
 
There’s a little bit of floor space but no exercise mats.
 
There’s a cleaning station, mirrors and good natural lighting. The big downside, other than the lack of equipment, is that there’s no air conditioning and only two windows that open slightly making it very hot in the gym.
 
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No, it was enough for a couple of days but I wouldn’t choose stay here again because of the hotel gym.

This hotel gym was extremely small resulting in very limited floor space!
 
That being said, the multi-gym machine is very good! It has a weight stack of 90kg and it’s adjustable allowing suitable range of motion. It’s in good condition and comfortable.
You can do lat pull-downs, seated rows, chest presses, chest flys as well as leg extensions on the multi-gym machine and with the cable attachment at the bottom you can do additional exercises.
 
The hotel gym has natural lighting, air conditioning and also a small balcony for ventilation.
 
Opening hours weren’t specified but it seemed very relaxed – you could walk in anytime you wanted, as the door was always open.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – the hotel gym is simply too basic lacking a lot of equipment and space.
