Staff were excellent and very friendly, really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Only two minor negatives to speak of:
- The shower was old-fashioned and very weak
- tea and coffee in the room was only replenished once in the entire week we were there.
Overall we had an excellent stay, great location right by the lake (had a balcony with a lake view), would happily recommend this hotel.

We stayed as a family of 3 with a baby
Breakfast options were excellent. Great balcony view overlooking Lake Garda, very clean and friendly staff.
So convenient to the train and ferries for transport to Sirmione, Garda, Peschiara del Garda, Venice and Verona. All great day trips. Desenzano itself also a great wee place.
Would stay again!

Staff friendly & helpful, room & dining area bright & well furnished.
Beautiful outlook across lake from dining room & balcony, nice to have good standard patio furniture on balcony.
Breakfast very good with lots of options.
Easy walk from train station, but we did take a taxi back as slightly uphill & a warm day.
Lovely walks into town or lakeside, plenty of dining options.
