The hotel is nice and in a great location for the price. More on the older side and can use some updating but still a decent hotel. The bathroom was large although shower is on the smaller side like many in italy. The bed is on the harder side but still usable. it’s pretty clean overall, but could use some deep cleaning of areas and things maybe replaced or retouched to feel cleaner. Overall great hotel that has a pool and ocean view.

Paradise...but bring your own pillow.
We were greeted by the most delightful woman at the reception desk! From there, her partner at reception and the rest of the staff continued a great performance. The view-spectacular. The food very good. Housekeeping-outstanding. The beds were hard, but only need a pillow top mattress pad. The pillows were hard, but again only need a soft one in the mix. Would stay again, especially the terrace units.

A nice hotel
We stayed at Estée for 3 nights while visiting Lake Garda. The hotel was conveniently located near restaurants and shopping as well as a lovely walk to the ferry. The breakfast was good with hot and cold choices. Staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. We had some trouble regulating the room temperature and figuring out how to adjust the shower temp.

Relax by the Lake
Perfectly situated with a view of the lake. Great for relaxation, listening to the waves. The service was friendly, the breakfast was small but there was plenty to choose from (more than at a lot of places). Very easy walk from the train station and the main part of downtown/castle. Several of the pool chairs are broken and need to be replaced or fixed. Other than that I have no complaints and plan to visit again!

Convenient to Tour Lake
This was a comfortable hotel with a very good like you. The staff was very friendly and able to speak English. We normally stay at five star hotels, but needed to have driving convenience to the Verona airport and also touring the perimeter of the lake and it's very charming towns. Note that the swimming pool while adequate is not as large as it appears in their website photos.

A liitle under rated gem
We had an enjoyable and memorable stay in this hotel. I feel this hotel is the best kept secret in Desenzano Del Garda. It is located literally on Lake Garda which means the terraces and balconies offer stunning uninterrupted views over this beautiful lake and mountains. We had a room with a large terrace overlooking the lake offering uninterrupted views of this stunning location. This meant the room was not large which was of no concern to ourselves as we were either out and about or when we were in we were on the terrace. There are larger rooms available if this is important to you. The staff were very friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfasts offered a wide choice of options all of which were nice and the breakfast room had stunning views over the lake as well. The Estee has a restaurant which equally has unrivalled views over the lake whilst enjoying a drink or meal during the day or evening. No other restaurant in Desenzano Del Garda has views to rival this restaurant. The Hotel has a small pool again with stunning views over the lake whilst swimming and sun bathing

Great location. Nice some thought to breakfasr
This is a great hotel for location with some fantastic staff who are very happy to help. The property is a little dated but is very comfortable and appealing. The breakfast is ok but not exciting when the spray is for more than a few days. Overall I would stay here again but would strongly recommend rooms with a lake view and balcony

disappointed
This was supposed to be a four-star hotel. It wasn't. The room was very bare-bones without a kettle or any kind of coffee maker. There were only a few people staying there and the very stale breakfast looked like it had been dragged out repeatedly. The hotel does have a good view of the lake but our room only overlooked the traffic at the front of the hotel. Admittedly we had booked a cheap room but when I asked about an upgrade they asked for an additional cost of £30 which I thought excessive, especially given that the hotel was virtually empty. The pool does not open until May and even the terrace bar with a supposedly panoramic view was not open. Next time out of season I would be tempted to stay at a less expensive hotel in the centre of the town.

It is about a 20 minute walk downhill from the train station. Good size room overlooking main road. Reasonable breakfast. Good location for walking into town or for ferry over to Sirmione. Only issue was with the wifi. It was unusable in the room. Fortunately we had our own dongle to use.

Classic style, great location, walk to everything
It had the usual facilities you’d expect, and to the standard you’d expect. No surprises there. The things I absolutely loved, were the view from the breakfast area; you look out over Lake Garda, and when combined with a classy breakfast, and such a beautiful vista, it makes for an amazing way to start your day. The food itself was a delight. The attention to detail really shows through. As an example, the bacon was cut up into tiny squares. This is a step beyond what is needed to prepare such a dish, but the fact they do it, shows their attention to detail. I could discuss many similar items, but suffice to say, it was noticed, and favourably. The kids loved the pool overlooking the lake, and the bar area was nice for a drink and an ice cream. In life, I ask people "would you do it again", and that tells me how good or bad the topic at hand is. Well, this is our 3rd time at this hotel, and it has not disappointed. When we return to Desenzano, we will stay here again, without question. La dolce vita.

I'm not sure it's worth the money
I stayed here almost off season, paid €215, after a nice stay in a 3* hotel in trento (130 € per night) and before a 3* hotel in Venice (€230). To my opinion botg surpassed Estee, in all aspects: size of rooms, status, breakfast etc. To my opinion Estee is good on all aspects, but nothing special...

Lovely quiet Hotel Estee Lake Garda Desenzano.
Our room had a lovely panoramic window. We woke up every morning to a beautiful view of the lake and distant mountains from our bed. The hotel was only a few minutes walk from the ferry, the town and the station, ideal for all excursions. Hotel staff were most helpful. Our executive room was well cleaned and laundered every day. It was great having breakfast looking out over the lake and you could set your watch by the ferries.
