We stayed as a family of 3 with a baby Breakfast options were excellent. Great balcony view overlooking Lake Garda, very clean and friendly staff. So convenient to the train and ferries for transport to Sirmione, Garda, Peschiara del Garda, Venice and Verona. All great day trips. Desenzano itself also a great wee place. Would stay again!

We had a lovely stay in Desenzano at Hotel Riviera, where Desenzano provided the perfect base for us to explore Lake Garda as we had been travelling Italy via trains. We had a balcony and lake view room, which provided gorgeous views and caught the morning sun. For us that was definitely worth upgrading for. The room felt spacious and modern. There was only a mini bar fridge in the room though, so storing any drinks to cool was a challenge, especially with the 30 degree heat. Only gripe with the room was that the shower had poor temperature regulation, where often it would cycle. The roof terrace with sun loungers was a cracking touch, especially for days of just relaxing. The hotel was only a short walk to the ferry port, and < 20mins walk to the train station. I would highly recommend this hotel, and would opt to stay again in the future!

The hotel is in a great location, right on the front and less than 10 minutes walk from the main area for restaurants and the ferry. We didn’t book a lake view room, and our room was right at the back past what looked like a block of apartments and through a glass walkway and it felt disconnected from the main hotel, hence the reason for the fours star review. Worth considering paying extra for the lake view room.

Staff friendly & helpful, room & dining area bright & well furnished. Beautiful outlook across lake from dining room & balcony, nice to have good standard patio furniture on balcony. Breakfast very good with lots of options. Easy walk from train station, but we did take a taxi back as slightly uphill & a warm day. Lovely walks into town or lakeside, plenty of dining options.

We stayed for 3 nights and found the hotel an excellent choice. Our room was small but more than adequate with modern decor and a large well equipped bathroom with a hot and good pressure shower. The prices of the bar were really reasonable as was the in room mini bar. The balcony was large and the view of the lake was simply stunning. On first look you may think it will be a bit noisy as there is a bar/restaurant next door and a main road in front but the second you close the balcony doors you won’t hear anything. Breakfast was great too. Overall a fab stay and they seem to be making more upgrades and improvements. Would definitely stay here again and in Desenzano it was just perfect.

Nice at quick town close to attractions

We stayed in the comfort room which can only sleep 2 people comfortably(maybe a baby as well) site states can sleep 3 but that’s not the case. Other than that the hotel is lovely with free breakfast which is the standard offerings, coffee was really good. The hotel if centrally located with lots of good eating options around and the lake across. Definitely book the lake view rooms we made great use of the balcony for morning coffees and people watching. The hotel also was able to accommodate our late check out for a reasonable fee. We found the paid parking close and easy. If your planning at trip to Gardaland(by car) the morning traffic around the town near Gardaland is crazy(1 hr+) it was quicker to go to Venice.
