Best possible location. Biggest complaint is the staff would entwr your room and turn iff the airco when you left the room, even with do not disturb sign hung. This is a no frills but adequate hotel. The location is what makes it great. Lake view rooms right in the heart of town

Very well situated next to the Lake and close to the car park. Hotel was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately UK adaptors do not work in this hotel but we found an adaptor on the room kettle so were able to use this with our own adaptors. Staff weren't particularly friendly.

Very beautiful hotel, very well situated just in front of the port. Very easy to transfer to other cities on the lake. A bit noisy because in central piazza but fully soundproof so no problems for sleeping . Because in center of city very good selection of restaurants and shopping.

Lovey room and a nice view of the water from our balcony. Air conditioned room with all you could need and very clean.
Staff were friendly and helpful and allowed us to store our cases at the hotel on our final day so we could head out on the ferry. Location is ideal as you can see the ferry stop from the hotel.
Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely recommend
The location was incredible. We had a room not facing the streets so it was quiet enough although we hear very well what is happening in other rooms. Overall, it was quite clean, except under the bed which needed vacuuming. We had a very nice stay here. Breakfast was also amazing and staff was friendly and helpful.

Centrally located hotel
Very nice hotel in a beautiful central location close to the ferry port and with a view of the lake. It is a ten minute walk from the train station. The rooms were comfortable with all the expected facilities. Breakfast had a wide range of continental choices as well as scrambled eggs and bacon. The coffee was excellent. There are a wide range of bars, restaurants and shops close by. If I were visiting Desenzano in the future I would have no hesitation in staying at Hotel Tripoli.

Positives: location is excellent. Breakfast was really good. The hotel is generally in really good condition
Negatives: the bed sheets had several stains including one which we think was blood. Staff were reluctant to do anything about this and only after two members of staff had been into our room to confirm the sheets were stained were they reluctantly changed. Also the Wi-Fi signal was very weak in our room and kept cutting out. Wasn’t really a problem for us but could be for others.

Nice Hotel in a great location
We enjoyed 3 nights at this hotel. It served as a great base for exploring Lake Garda, and all interactions with the staff were friendly and positive.
PROS
- Very convenient location, ferries are just across the road, and is around a 15 minute walk from the train station.
- Room was nicely presented, bed was comfortable and decent air conditioning kept the room cool. Seemed to have decent soundproofing from the outside.
CONS
- Nothing major and I would not mark the hotel down for this, but the WiFi didn't seem to be strong enough to reach all of our room on the 2nd floor.
USEFUL INFO
- The room only had Type L power outlets, which means that the standard euro adapters with the earth clips have prongs that are too thick. We were able to borrow an adapter from the hotel.
- The hotel provided us with a promotional deal to get a discount on the ferries.
We would happily stay here again if we were to return to Lake Garda in the future!

Had 3 rooms reserved for a family trip to Lake Garda, and the hotel is in an excellent location just opposite some water frontage... it is opposite the ferries that can take you about on the lake, but they were closed because, from my understanding, March is low season. In the big paseo in front of the hotel, there was a lovely open market on Tuesdays (local produce plus retail items), some beautiful small flower gardens, good dining and shopping areas around, and I paid a little extra so that our rooms had lake-view, one of them even had a balcony. I am not sure if there was A/C but as we visited in March the weather was cool and sometimes chilly, and the lift worked. The breakfast was excellent (eggs, bacon, all assortment of pastries and breads, cold cut meats, juices, yogurts etc.), staff were courteous and helpful, generally the hotel was clean, the area seemed safe and not very noisy and our rooms were a very nice size with every amenity, and comfy beds. Perfect for a short stay. It is a short drive to the Castle Sirmione, we paid $30-35 Euros for a van ride over there. It is also a convenient distance from the train station Desenzano, we actually walked it though in future for a big group with luggage probably a taxi is better (the walk was not bad, it was downhill and the surrounding residential areas were beautiful - but it would be a different experience going uphill).
I am happy to recommend Hotel Tripoli to family and friends who are planning to visit.

Loved Hotel Tripoli. Location is perfect and right at the port. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Updated bathrooms were very nice. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was nice . Wish we could have stayed another day to experience the Tuesday market, which looked really cool and fun right outside the hotel. Definitely would stay here again.
