Excellent Lakeside Hotel Experience

local travelgreat bedexcellent selectionlimited storage

The reception staff helped me with local travel information, including ferry schedules and taxi services. My room had soundproofing. It also featured a great bed, bathroom, and readily available sockets. The breakfast provided an excellent selection and I found the staff accommodating. They even drove my elderly father to coordinate a taxi to the airport. I am grateful for their extra assistance.

The room had minimal storage space, specifically, the closet had only one shelf. There was space to add an additional small shelf.

Dining

The breakfast included croissants, scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese as well as cereals, fruit, and cakes. I also found a true Italian cappuccino, ensuring there was something for everyone and a satisfying start to the day.

Facilities

The location of this hotel is perfect. It is situated directly on the lake Garda and is also a short walk to restaurants, the ferry dock, and various shopping areas. I found nearby parking available at a reduced rate, very convenient.
