In Book IV of the Odyssey it's clear that they both feel positively about Odysseus, Helen relates a story which shows his mastery of disguise and Menelaus says Odysseus was a close friend of his and he desperately wants to see him again (as Odysseus has been missing for 10 years), the story of the Trojan horse is also told, showing Odysseus' cunning and intellect. Both of them hgave nothing but praise for him.
Homer tells us this story repeatedly throughout the whole story as a contrast to Odysseus' relationship with Penelope. Not only in the first four books, but also when Odysseus visits the land of the dead and other places the story is mentioned we get a good look at exactly what could have happened if Penelope weren't as faithful.
Odysseus was part of the Trojan war and after the Trojan war Odysseus was sailing back home but blown off course and he began his quest.
