9.0 / 10.0
Great location overlooking the lake. A short walk into the old town and harbour. Good choice of food and drink at breakfast. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, it was cleaned daily. Roof top terrace was a bonus, great to relax on the loungers with amazing views. No private parking but 2 free car parks a short walk away behind the hotel. Good value for money, would stay there again.
Our room was at the back so we didn't have a view of the lake. Apart from that, no complaints.

We liked the location by the lake with a deck overlooking the water, the friendly and helpful staff, and the amazing breakfast.
Nothing to say here!

The breakfast was lovely. The view from our Comfort Room was divine. There is a bar downstairs for drinks and a nice restaurant next door. A couple of minutes walk to the ferry and main shopping square. The market on Tuesday morning was also amazing.

We stayed one night as a stopover during our trip. The breakfast was very tasty, with beautiful view on Garda lake. Unfortunately there was no elevator to our room and the soundproofing was quite poor. On the positive side, the location offers a beautiful view of the lake and delicious breakfast!

The staff were very accommodating - when we got there early we asked if we can leave our bags and were friendly enough to accept. They went out of their way to also book us a taxi for the next day, which arrived promptly. Very friendly staff! The lake views from the hotel room balcony were amazing - very relaxing
The hotel was quite far from the station especially if you have luggage. Accessible by taxi or by bus, but the bus only takes you halfway into town and have to walk the rest. But the lake views are worth it

Loved the location. Very helpful friendly staff.
We got a dated room. It was very clean though and everything worked great.

Views from our bedroom balcony were amazing. The breakfast selection was one of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. Hotel was only a short walk to the beach to the left and to the bars and restaurants on the right which was ideal.
Lights shining on to the balconies at night attracted the midges which meant we couldn’t sit out on a night. Hotel is on a busy road which made it noisy to sit on the balcony during the day but we were prepared for that and it didn’t spoil our stay. Noise couldn’t be heard inside.

The staff went above and beyond to help us: 1) with the parking nearby as they get better prices for the customers 2) when providing advice of events beyond their control (our rental car had an issue in the highway and they were more helpful than the insurance we hired, and were constantly checking on us).

This was one of the nicest places we have stayed at. We cannot fault anything, the staff were welcoming friendly and helpful, the bed was super comfy, views were amazing and the food was plentiful and delicious. If or when we decide to go to lake Garda again we will be staying in this hotel. Not sure why they only have 3 stars we feel it deserved a 4 star rating
Nothing to dislike

Well located to the ferry stop. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was basic but OK. The beds were not so comfortable but was fine for one night stop over. Bus tickets to train station for our onward journey could be purchased at reception and again, the bus stop was only 50mts from hotel. Fantastic breakfast with everything you could imagine.
Beds were not so comfortable

The location of the hotel is the main selling point. It's very central and offers an amazing view of the lake. Beautiful sunset & sunrise experience which was incredible.
Breakfast was good, a little bit of everything, not vast options, but good for 3* hotel.
Although the parking wasn't provided by the hotel itself, we were advised on the options around (free and paid for) which was helpful.
The location is very walkable, it's 5 minutes to the central square with all the shops and restaurants and boats. Same to all the beaches (there is a small beach just outside, but if you want a bit more space and to be a bit further away from the road there're options nearby). Close to Sirmione (20 mins by car), and a 40 min car ride to Verona, which was great.
There is NO FRIDGE in the room. Not even talking about a minibar, there is not even just an empty fridge to cool drinks or food (we had yoghurts which we brought but weren't able to store properly). There's no cutlery or glasses in the room either, but we were able to get some from the bar downstairs.
The aircon was quite old and wasn't warking properly, the temperature you chose on the remote didn't matter, it was either going to cool the room significantly when the chosen temperature was 24 or heat it when it was 25. So not great.
Although the staff were friendly, they didn't help us with luggage on our way in - the man watched from the building as we struggled with the bags.
There were some rooms which weren't renovated and some that were. We weren't lucky and got the old room which looked tired and worn out. However, perhaps that won't be an issue soon once all of them are done. Check pictures before booking if you want a renovated room.

the location was superb and the bed was very comfortable . the mgmt was super helpful for anything one needed . there is a little beach right across the street that has chairs and boats . we will return for sure !!
breakfast only started after 7 so a coffee maker or kettle in the room for those waking to watch the sunrise or early risers would be very helpful. tried waking to the center to find a place for a coffee no luck. everything else was perfect but I highly recommend to mgmt to get in room coffee and kettles

The view over the lake; excellent staff - nothing was too much trouble; the breakfast buffet was very good; air con worked very well
A fridge in the room would have been very useful; and a kettle for tea/coffee making

The staff was very friendly and useful! The location of this hotel is great too - good restaurants and the center in walking distance. Close to the train station to so it is really easy to go for some day trips too. A big plus was that we did not need to use the AC and our room still had a nice temperature even though it was pretty warm outside.
Our double bed was just 2 beds joined together so I often woke up in the gap between when it moved during the night. Also, it was a bit noisy - our room was at the first floor and we could hear literally every person going up or down the stairs or taking the shower.

We liked the modern style of the room with the very large and very comfortable bed, making it cozy and comfortable for a small and young family,(we were two adults and a child).
The stay was very relaxing...unfortunately I was unable to take any photos as it was very late and we were tired from the trip when we checked in!
I really appreciated the breakfast area, very rich in typically Italian options with a beautiful view of Lake Garda..
The staff is of a unique kindness always ready to help at any occasion even for small information on the local town.
The hotel is located just two minutes walk outside the pedestrian area, which helps in check-in and check-out and for visiting Desenzano.. I would say it is a perfect location if you are looking for relaxation outside the crowded and full of downtown life..
Yes we really enjoyed it and will take it as first option in our next visit to lake Garda.

Great location on the shore of the lake, breakfast had a good selection.
Very dated rooms in need to decoration and new bathrooms, air con was not switched on as it was ‘out of season’ but still very warm overnight. Double room was two single beds pushed together, very uncomfortable and constantly sliding apart, mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. Staff at reception did the bare minimum when checking in, didn’t tell us when breakfast was or give any details about the area - there was a car rally and parade the weekend we stayed right outside the hotel but this was not mentioned.
