Centro Paolo VI
8/10 Good
"Unfortunately the air-conditioning was not working for our 4 nights at the hotel and the temperatures were in the 30's. Everything else was old fashioned, but working well, like the shower etc. One of the highlights is the restaurant, with an original chef, producing great food and excellent waiting staff. In easy walking distance to Brescia sites."
"The only positive was the location: it is near the shuttle bus and not too far from the center.
However, the stay itself was very disappointing and far below what we expected from a 4-star property. The room was advertised with a double bed, but we received two unstable single beds pushed together. The mattresses separated easily, making it very uncomfortable to sleep.
Bedding was inadequate: single blankets, no proper blanket covers, and unpleasant smells. Towels and sheets required extra payment, which was not clearly disclosed when booking. Wi-Fi also required an extra charge.
The bathroom had visible mold in the shower, broken sink and bidet fixtures, and almost no toiletries except one small hand soap.
We reported the problems to reception and were told they would be fixed, but nothing meaningful was resolved during our stay. Overall, cleanliness, comfort, amenities, and service were unacceptable."
"Clean and roomy room, friendly & informative staffs, walking distance to attractions, good breakfast and delicious menu from Mano Restaurant on the side. Property is right on the water and less than 5 minutes walk o ferry."
"A stunning old hotel right at the end of the peninsula of Sirmione. We had a long weekend in the gorgeous Vivaldi suite. It was spacious, clean and comfortable (except for the incredibly hard pillows!)
The staff are lovely and the breakfast is wonderful. The only criticism of the staff would be the owner who delivers the morning coffees. He was pretty rude and didn’t give the impression he was happy to see you.
Our stay was over a weekend and we hired a car. That was a mistake - the amount of people in Sirmione is incredible. There were a lot of restrictions around when you can and can’t bring your car into the town over weekends and special events - which we didn’t realise until we arrived!
I would stay at this hotel again and enjoyed our stay."
"This is a smaller hotel but nice and in a quiet location. The rooms as clean, comfortable beds, just very small in size. We had to put our large luggage on top of the cabinet as there was no space on the floor. The pool is small but clean. Check in was fast and the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night as they were fully booked for the weekend. There is a restaurant right across the street, looks nice, we didn't try it. Breakfast had a wide variety of choices and the hotel has plenty of parking around and under the property in the garage."
"The breakfast on the other side of the road was excellent, as were the kind, pleasant and helpful staff. We would like to return, but perhaps in not so hot weather!"
