We have stayed in lake Garda before and loved it. We stayed here this time because we thought we’d do a trip with the theme parks for the kids. Hotel accommodation in the area surprisingly limited but this looked like the best. This hotel was disappointing. Good things: pool is nice temperature although you have to wear a swimming hat (a first for me) which you have to buy. Food quality is good but limited choice. Pleasant bar. Bad: you have to pay a local tax when you arrive (£60). The room- damp in the room and bathroom, toilet so close to the counter you have to sit sideways! Tissue dispenser instead of loo roll - all cheaper quality than a premier inn. No tea and coffee facilities, no minibar/water. Nowhere to buy water, small hotel shop only open week days for two hours. Facilities: the hotel feels tailored for conferences, nothing for families, no games room etc. no entertainment of any sort, nothing at all to do other than the pool which is pleasant but basic. Surprising given it’s the closest decent hotel to the theme parks. There is a shuttle bus to the parks (limited times) The lake is a good half hour walk away and a bit of a climb, no ferry here so no way to get around the lake. Thee is not really a local village, this hotel feels like a business centre in the middle of a field on a main road. We anticipated this a bit but assumed we’d be able to get around. Amazingly the hotel could not get us a cab - they said all local cabs were airport only. So if you haven’t hired a car you are stuck here with not much to do other than the parks. Hardly any British tourists (don’t think this hotel is covered by package companies) and English is not always spoken so be mindful if you don’t have a bit of basic Italian. Worst was our experience one morning. Breakfast is buffet style. My wife grabbed a croissant to take back to the room for our daughter who didn’t feel well enough to come down, and she got screamed at by one of the staff (who spoke no English) literally screamed at. Wife in tears, disgusting way to treat any guest. Really shocking. We would certainly never stay here again.
