We loved almost everything about this property. The location can’t be beat -we stayed in room 9 and the only criticism is that this very small (but has a great balcony). The shower is comically small. I understand other rooms have appropriate showers . Even with this issue we loved our stay in this hotel. Highly recommend

Fantastic hotel in a very nice area. Walkable from the train station in around 10 minutes. There are loads of bars/ restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The ferry to other areas of Lake Garda is just around the corner. The air con in the room worked very well in the heat! Breakfast had lots of nice options, although you needed an engineering degree to work the toaster. Would recommend to any family/ friends and would stay here again if we return.

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
