It’s a very simple hotel gym. There’re no dumbbells which lets it down.
However, there’s a nice outside area by the pool area which is good for body weight exercising and adds a little more space.

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

Comments
It’s a tiny little hotel gym, but the hotel was in a spectacular location! I doubt anyone uses the hotel gym. It’s a ski and hiking town.
 
This hotel gym is here only as a back-up if you can’t go outside.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
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.

Comments
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.
