Great location

Lovely location looking out at the water. Staff were friendly and hotel was clean. Room was smaller than appeared in pictures and shower was tiny but I’m told that is typical in Italy. Room was a little on the hot side with a/c controls not allowing you to adjust below 23 degrees Celsius and would automatically turn off every time you left the room. Location was great and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Lake Garda

The location is beautiful and right in the centre of town. 20 minutes walk from the train station and 5 from the ferry terminals. The balcony on our terrace had plenty room for the 2 of us to sit there and enjoy the view. Our room was comfortable although the shower cubicle on the small side. The room and hotel in general, although rather dated was spotlessly clean and well maintained throughout. The service from the breakfast team was superb as was the choice and quality of food on offer. Sitting outside on the sheltered terrace enjoying the view of the old harbour each morning is something that will be sorely missed by ourselves. Unfortunately, there was one downside to our stay when we had an issue with something in the bathroom one evening. The "no can do" attitude of one of the reception staff really let down our otherwise superb stay at this beautiful hotel and town.

Great hotel in excellent location. Worth noting that not all rooms are accessible by the elevator so when booking i would recommend asking for a room that you don’t need to take any stairs to if you have mobility issues

The hotel is at the prime location with all restaurants surrounded. Step away from the ferry and in the middle of the town center area. Small hotels with about 30 something rooms. Love the balcony looking out the marina. However, the shower is so small. I am petite but still had hard time to get into the shower stall. Can't imagine for people with bigger size figure.
