6.8/10

The hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the lake, but it does have some drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and had useful amenities like a mini-fridge and large balconies. However, I wasn't too happy about the service, as there were some issues with privacy and communication. The dining experience was just okay—adequate but nothing special. Overall, it's a good value for money, especially considering the view and location.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious and had great balconies. I appreciated the mini-fridge, which came in handy during my stay. However, I found the bed situation a bit odd, as it felt more like a mix of a double and twin setup.

Service

5.0

Service was a mixed bag. While the staff was friendly and helpful, there was a lack of communication about the windows being cleaned, which felt quite intrusive. They did seem eager to assist with requests, but I think some training in English would be beneficial.

Location

9.0

The location was wonderful, overlooking the lake and just a pleasant walk to the center of Sirmione. It's a bit of a hike in the heat to get to the old town, so I recommend using public transport for that.

Dining

6.0

The dining was decent but quite basic. The breakfast spread was plentiful, featuring pastries and cereals, but nothing that really stood out as exceptional.

Facilities

6.6/10

The hotel has a great location for exploring the Lake Garda area, and the staff is friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are quite small, especially for three people with luggage, and I wouldn't recommend the budget rooms unless you're just staying for a night. The breakfast selection is good, but some items weren’t warm enough, and there were a few cutbacks that were noticeable, like the lack of shampoo and hair dryers.

Rooms

5.0

I found the rooms to be pretty small and a bit claustrophobic, which isn't ideal for three people along with a lot of luggage. I would advise avoiding the budget room unless you're planning to stay only one night.

Service

The service was generally pleasant; the staff was helpful, always coming to clean and change towels. However, there was an unfortunate incident where they cleaned the windows without warning, which felt invasive.

The hotel is perfectly situated for touring around the Lake Garda area, just a short walk from Sirmione and next to a big supermarket. Parking can be an issue since it’s not secure for overnight use.

Breakfast was quite decent, with plenty of pastries and fruits available, but I found some of it to be a bit cold. It’s spartan compared to more English-centered hotels, but still adequate.

7.0/10

I had a decent stay overall. The hotel is conveniently located near the lake and the city center, making it easy to explore. While my room had a great view, it was a bit on the small side and was directly above the bar, leading to some noise. The service from the staff was friendly, although there were a few hiccups, like unexpected window cleaning. The breakfast spread was plentiful but could be improved in terms of temperature.
