Pleasant stay

Location is good around 15min walk into town. Very close to the lake. Hotel is quite dated, rooms are large and spacious with a nice balcony - we had a view of the pool. Hotel is being renovated so building work being undertaken which spoils abit of the view.. Beds comfortable, bathroom needs some TLC - mould around shower, cracks in tiles. Staff - friendly and very helpful about things to do and places to see. Breakfast - hot food was not very hot, eggs bacon and hash browns was very bland however fruits, pastries, cold meats and cheese were nice. Again decor could do with an update.

As above

This is not a 4 star hotel. It’s mid-rennovation and could be great given a lot more investment and better front of hous

The location is slightly out of town so quiet. The swimming pool was good, lots of beds and just about enough shade. Breakfast was quite good.

The first room we were shown was very outdated and we would not have been comfortable at all staying in it, it was extremely disappointing. We then paid 50 euros extra a night to stay in one of the renovated rooms which was reasonable but poorly renovated. I didn’t think the hotel was very clean in places. I hated that we had to pay extra for towels around the pool. Staff were not particularly welcoming or helpful.

Excellent location for a Lake Garda visit

Location of the hotel is brilliant for walking to Descanso del Garda. Great restaurants and views of the lake and mountains.

Rooms are a little small and there is not very much evening entertainment available at the hotel.

Major construction site - cancel if you can !!

Inside the room

Arrived at the hotel on the 10th of June only to find the hotel was under major building construction, not just a renovation, we asked about this at reception and were told we had to contact booking.com as we had booked via them. We checked into our rooms both Junior Suite lake view rooms that we had paid extra for. We noticed a crane outside the front of the hotel but didn’t realise it was immediately in front of our rooms. I tried to call Booking.com the following day but could not get through, the hotel reception again said there was nothing they could do. Another massive lifting crane arrived on the 12th in front of our Lake View room, so even less lake view, at the back of the hotel the pool bar and restaurant were not there anymore, in its place is a large extension under construction for new bedrooms. This is not shown on their web site. Booking.com asked for a response from the hotel, their response was a complete fabrication, Adriano from the front desk said they had moved us on arrival to rooms away from the construction site, this never happened in fact they would not discuss it with us. There was an infestation of flies, we were advised not to open our balcony door in the evening. Not great. The whole front of the hotel is a construction site but nobody advised of this or we would have cancelled. They are not responding to Booking.com at all now. We stayed at the hotel 2 years ago and it was lovely so we knew what it looked like then. This should be removed from Booking.com.

8.0 / 10.0

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Room was a touch on the small side, but overlooked the pool with a large communal balcony. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety. Large pool was none too busy and sun loungers were great with an adjustable headrest/sunscreen

No buses passed the hotel and centre of town was a fair distance to walk.

7.0 / 10.0

It was okay.

Nice and clean rooms. The Hotel is very nice looking. The breakfast was ok but nothing really special.

The Check In took way too long for two person. We also wanted to rent three bikes. We waited 15 minutes because they couldn’t open the locks?! He didn’t get the lock opened, so we asked nicely if we maybe can have a E-Bike instead. Unfortunately they didn’t helpes us out.

Its is not a good hotel for the price they want.. at least the rooms with saunas and jacuzzi.. its an old and dirty hote

The view of lake Garda is nice, breakfast was good, but the food that should be at least a little worm was cold.. cold eggs, cold sausages, cold bacon.

1. The floor of the room was dirty, my white socks became black when i didnt wear the room slippers.. 2. The shower gel bottle in the bathroom was completely empty.. 3. The sauna did not work, when we turned it on the whole electricity went off and the room went pitch black.. and no one knew how to fix it.. 4. then when we turned on the bubbles in the jacuzzi, dirt came out so we couldnt use that either.. they only changed our room to the one with only a bathtub, they said they will talk to the manager in the morning for some refund but they didnt… 5. so i paid for the room with a sauna and a jacuzzi and only got a bad experience with it and no sauna in the end with no refund.. 6. Also no other tv options than a lot of italian programs..

8.0 / 10.0

A relaxing stay in very pleasant surroundings, a short walk from town, with attentive staff.

The outdoor pool is a very good size with plenty of adjustable chairs and sunshades. The outdoor bar with tables in the shade is very good. Breakfast buffet is excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to give good service even though I arrived quite early. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing generally (I was there the weekend of some Euros matches!) which suits me. The room was comfortably cool in the heat.

The restaurant is very good but I would have liked some more simple, typical Italian food as well as the fancier dishes. I was at this hotel in 2013 and had the best risotto alla Milanese ever! However the food was served promptly and was delicious.

Great hotel with great staff

Staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was very comfortable and cleaned everyday. Great facilities.

Location was about a 40 minute walk from the main train station and the town lacked good taxi services.

Beautiful room, nice city.

The bedroom was very nice with a balcony and we loved the swimming pool.

The fact that they put me to pay the towels If I need them for the swiming pool, it is the first time I find something like this in an european civilized country.

Lovely Town

It was raining when we were there but the pool did look good. the restaurant wasn't to bad, Breakfast was good.

The rooms were tiny. barely any room to even put a suitcase. it is a little dated. it was a bit of a walk to get to the central area.

10.0 / 10.0

Great value and location.

The location. Breakfast and meal in restaurant were great.

Shower tray overflowed due to sliw drainage. Had to pay for use of indoor pool (but we had it to ouselves and was lovely) and leisure facilities.

The pool outside is lovely there is also a poolside bar with drinks and snacks. We also used the spa which was very nice.

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Oliveto. It was the ideal location for us walking into the centre of Desenzano every day (20-min walk), and a 30-min walk to the train station so we were able to explore other places. You can easily walk to the boat which goes to other parts of the lake. The room was very clean with fresh towels, robes, slippers and toiletries. We had a big corner balcony with fantastic views. Plenty storage space in the wardrobes which also contained a safe for valuables. The bed was comfortable enough. There was a mini bar and snacks available for purchase within the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor and indoor pools are fantastic and seemed ideal for families. The spa area was also nice. Be aware that you have to pay an additional fee for the use of the indoor pool and spa but the outdoor pool is free. The breakfasts were good.

The food at the restaurant was not the nicest, I would advise eating at other places. The air-con was quite noisy but it didn't keep us up at night.

it’s location

the tiles were coming off the shower floor. the shower flooded while in use. the restaurant food was poor in taste ingredients and quality. i raised these issues with hotel staff. they offered a 10% discount on bill but that’s not why I raised these issues with them. bed was extremely uncomfortable.

The ability to book the indoor pool was really great and offered us a private swim which we hadn’t experienced before. The beds were really comfy and the balcony offered a nice view of the lake.

Breakfast could’ve had a wider selection of foods

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

Spa was lovely much better than I expected, location was great . Beds were comfortable.

Walls were very thin , could hear talking in next room and flushing of toilets , doors slamming . thankfully as this was during the week I think it was not too bad , most people went to sleep at a similar time to us so it wasn't a problem and didn't keep us up .also felt it was a bit of a rip off having to pay to use the pools , the spa fair enough,but thought when we paid to use the spa that it would be included in the cost of the spa entry .

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

Nice rooms, nice location. and reception staff were very helpful.

Breakfast choice was poor and restaurant & bar staff attitudes left a lot to be desired.
