Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Mayer & Splendid is a popular choice thanks to its convenient location in the center, close to the lake and ferry services, making it easy to reach Sirmione and other local villages. Guests often enjoy the spacious rooms, some of which are junior suites with balconies offering beautiful lake views, and appreciate the spa facilities.

Acceptable, but Some Issues Need Addressing

uncomfortable furniture missing chair

The hotel's location proved acceptable.

I booked a Junior Suite, but it lacked comfortable furniture. There was not even an easy chair available for relaxation. I had to sit on the bed to read or watch television, which I found unreasonable.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

pool access fee thin walls

The location proved convenient for exploring the area.

I was quite frustrated by the pool access, considering the cost per night. I also encountered some noise issues. Thin walls allowed sounds from neighboring rooms and the hallway to filter through. I found it difficult to relax, given the lack of quiet ..

EXCELLENT stay!

superb location convenient breakfast lovely staff amazing view

The hotel's location opposite the port was SUPERB. Breakfast was decent and very convenient. Staff were lovely. They took me back to the train station in the minibus FREE of charge. The hotel had a fantastic view of the lake from my window, which I REALLY enjoyed.

The courtesy daily toiletries are now similar to economy hotels. They were not even refreshed daily. I only received a single sachet of coffee and milk per person in my room daily, which I found unusual.

The hotel has a spa, with a range of treatments. It also features an indoor pool open to guests for an additional charge. A shuttle service to the train station is available, facilitating convenient transportation for travelers, VERY useful.
