Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a fantastic location right on the lake front with steps leading into the lake from the hotel patio/sunbathing area. The rooms had some drawbacks like a stale smell and unconventional furnishings, and the service seemed lacking in enthusiasm although they served reasonably priced delicious meals. The dining options were adequate with a decent variety, and the location is unbeatable, right in the center of town near restaurants, bars, and shops.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The quirky rooms were a bit cramped with odd furnishings but had some traditional charm. The service was hit or miss, with friendly staff but unhelpful with certain requests. The prime lakefront location was bustling but offered great views, and the dining options were average at best.
Although the hotel is lakeside in the center of Malcesine and offers a good view of the lake, there were some service issues and lack of room decision authority. The charm of the location and the beautiful balcony view were offset by the unenthusiastic staff.
The hotel is in a prime location, directly on the lakefront and in the heart of Malcesine. The rooms were a bit challenging for four adults due to space constraints and lack of accessibility for those with mobility issues. The service had its ups and downs with some staff appearing weary and not fully addressing certain issues. However, the overall experience was enhanced by the amazing location and access to Lake Garda.
The hotel is perfectly situated on the lakefront in the city center, offering easy access to restaurants and bars. The rooms, although double for single occupancy, were a bit dark and stuffy due to the split-level layout. The service was polite but lacked helpfulness in addressing some concerns. Dining options were decent, but there was room for improvement. The location is fantastic, with direct access to the lake and a sun deck right at your doorstep.
