"The room was clean and spacious for the rate, quite silent despite the neighbouring rooms being also occupied. There was a wasp nest outside the window so opening for ventilation was not an option, unfortunately - but it wasn't too much of a problem given we had A/C on almost all the time (it was about 35-40C outside and the A/C could cope perfectly). Breakfast was good, served in a downstairs room with the option to sit outside. Variety was just fine for continental breakfast with some cold cuts, scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, fresh fruit, cereal, pancakes and excellent variety of traditional Italian pastries and cakes / pies. The pool was in great condition, the gym was excellent and the only area that could do with some minor better maintenance was the spa. Overall a super pleasant experience."

8/10 Good
"Reception staff were excellent and were extremely helpful when taxis needed ordering. Very clean and Rituals toiletries a nice touch. Breakfast was good and the pool looked good although we didn’t use it. The hotel is fairly close to Gardaland although feels a long walk in the heat. Otherwise, it is a fair distance away from the train station, public transport is poor, and taxis are expensive. Don’t use Uber-quoted 40 euros plus for a 10-12 minute journey. My lower rating than I would usually give is for the absence of a kettle in the room. There was not one available from reception either so you had to go to the bar for hot water. Inconvenient for anyone but if I had a young baby and needed hot water for sterilisation or a bottle, then really not ideal. On a related note, rooms which are numbered in the 4000s are quite a walk from the reception area, so when booking, worth requesting a room close to reception if walking is difficult for you."

"A truly special place. The staff are incredible and genuinely can’t do enough for you. The facilities are excellent, the rooms are lovely and very well maintained, and the free spa access is a fantastic bonus. The spa was also very quiet during our stay. The sun loungers on the lake are fantastic, with very attentive lifeguards who even move your umbrella to make sure you stay shaded. The thermal pool is lovely too. The breakfast is very comprehensive, with a great selection of hot and cold food, hot drinks, as well as the option to order eggs exactly how you like them. The location is excellent, right outside the entrance to the historic centre. It’s also close to bus routes, making it very easy to get around, including getting to Verona. 10/10 experience. If we return to Lake Garda, we will certainly stay here again."
