Bardolino Hotels

The location

The room was an exterior chalet type building. Generally everything looked worn and tired, except the front gardens and swimming pool. We asked for 2 glasses to have a drink outside our chalet and were given plastic ones. Mould on the ceiling. No hot water was running and the fridge was dirty and as we found out later leaked water all over the floor. We were moved inside the main house as compensation and had the price reduced with a bottle of wine given to us on our departure.

The location was outstanding and views from window spectacular (however we were fortunate to have a lake view room) The garden area was lovely to sunbathe in and beautifully maintained. The room we had was large. Stunning-looking building from the lake/gardens.

Typical Italian decor (dark, dated). Bath had a severe leak which flooded bathroom more than once. Air conditioning switch was broken so had to leave on for 5 days even though cold at night. The breakfast wasn't the best we had had in Italy (we went into town for our breakfast even though we had paid for it as the food was very tailored for Germans).

Hotel has worm atmosphere, kind and helpful stuff and nice restaurant. We have only good memories of staying there.

Helpful staff, very good breakfast with high quality fresh coffee. Only some 15 mins from Gardaland. The staff speaks also German not only Italian which is quite a positive experience in Italy.

Our room was sometimes noisy from the loud talking of drunken guests drinking at night in the hotel bar. Even so we were tired enough and slept well :)

the hotel has good location for shopping, and the Lake Garda is not so far.

no, there wasn't

A clean and comfertable hotel. All personel were able to speak english and our stay went very smoothly. As result of the fact that it was just a night's stay for us we were not able to classify all other facilities. The room however was clean, spaciues and okay.

a very welcomming comfortable hotel with excellent staff

access onto a busy road and steepness of access

Hotel staff, especially reception, were extremely helpful. The cleaners timed the cleaning well, coming in when we were at breakfast and when we returned, our room was spotless. The hotel is a lovely relaxing place to enjoy with a wonderful view and a great location right next to the lake. We enjoyed every minute of it and have recommended it to everyone back at home.

The only thing we would comment on is the selection of food at breakfast. Even though the cereal was lovely, there wasnt much of a variety of hot food. This wasnt something we disliked, just a suggestion to put more of a variety out at breakfast. The evening meals were lovely.

Surrondings

Staff was very careless;restaurant and breakfast is not organized well.Room was tidy; lot of beetles in the room. I would never ever spend holiday in this "hotel" rather hostel.

location is wonderful

hotel is too old and obviously needs renovation

Air-conditioning was excellent and badly needed as temp. were high. Pool and garden area was spacious & clean. Pool ideally suited to those who like swimming. Good selection for buffet breakfast.

Pool is great but has no shallow end. Not able to stand up in it so could be a consideration if not a good swimmer or confident in deep water. A 15min walk uphill out from centre of Garda, although there was a free shuttle bus to town from around the corner.

The staff were, as noted on another review site, quite friendly and pleasant. The gardens were nice, consisting of planted borders and olive trees

Air con was off despite 30 degrees outside (eventually it was switched on). The reception area of the hotel is not too bad, but does look a bit dated. The rooms, however, were not fitting of a so-called four star hotel.

The location and the staff were fairly friendly.

The room was very old fashioned in decor and design. It needed modernising.

bath, rest, excurtions

Privately run, friendly, relaxing, wonderful views, indoor & outdoor pools & gym.

Limited dinner menu & too rushed.

Staff superb, Location excellent and facilities eg swimming pools first class.

Nothing really . I would say that the rooms were a little small for the price but very comfortable

The view from my bedroom window.

I went for breakfast at 7.30a.m. and and left the piece of papewr DO NOT DISTURB. I returned at 8.00a.m. whereas on the floor just outside the room there where clean towels in a plastic bag. I collected, removed the paper and ten minutes after left the hotel. To my surprise when I returned later in the evening I noticeed that the maid did not do my room...........pity.

quiet and relaxing pool area with nice views of the lake.

the cleaners starting their daily room cleans at 8.30 am. they were very loud and we thought it was too early for holiday makers. breakfast buffet was very poor and a very poor selection of foods/breakfast juice etc. we also did not realise the distance from the lake and thought it was i bit far however we did avail of the free shuttle during the day when returning from the lake.

I liked the spa/relax spot even if I was not able to use it because their hours did not coincide with mine. The staff was very helpful.

The staff were very helpful and the pool facilities were great!

The food in the restaurant was very average. There were no tea and coffee making facilities (other than going to the cafe).

A very very good value

Nice place, a bit in the middle of nowhere, but ideal for relaxing. Rich breakfast.

The spa is ok, but I expected something much bigger and fancier based on the photos and the website. Well, you should not believe what you see there.

Super!

spacious and well-cleaned rooms with a nice landscape over the open field to Lake Garda. comfortable indoor pool. dishes in the restaurant also fine. all the staffs were friendly. we really relaxed the stay.

Nothing

Just by the train station; 10 minutes form Verona Center. Nice staff, even they didn's speak English, we had a perfect communication! Generally good.

This is a 10!! The palce would deserve 4 stars- wonderfully decorated, great atmosphere -rooms are huge, beds so comfortable! Super helpful staff and the owner/manager even offered a drive to the airport which was really helpfull as due to current road closure it's a bit confusing. Absolutely fantastic restaurant - imaginative menu and a superb chef - I'd recommend this place even if you're not searching for a hotel close to the airport! Definitely my best hotel experience in Italy (in over 15 years)

Very convenient to down town in Bardolino on the lake and lots of walking areas. Parking on site, easy to get to and from roadways.

All very good, nothing we did not like.

good location and comfortable

There were not many rooms booked in the hotel and yet they chose to put us in one of the smaller rooms at the back of the hotel over the kitchen when many rooms with balconies where free

Great service of the twin sisters

Especially the staff, atmosphere and location.

No

we loved the fact is was in walking distance of the lake. the dinner was good value for money. the staff were very polite ,friendly and helpful.

the rip slide in the playground was a bit annoying.

Hotel was spotlessly clean, staff helpful and friendly. Good location just 5mins walk to the lake.

The food was a bit limited, not great for fussy eaters like me! Although the hotel itself was extremely quiet and relaxing (no children when we were there) there was a childrens park next door to the hotel which became very noisy from 4-9pm. Bangers were let off for about 2 hours every afternoon one after the other which wasn't great if you were trying to relax around the pool.

Friendly staff, good value, very few guests when we stayed in October so there was no waiting for service. Convenient for the town & ferries. Attractive interior.

Login system for wi-fi proved irritating to use - new 16 digit code required each day - repeated failures to accept code needed support from outside to rectify. Slightly awkward walk to the bus station with cases. Usual uninspiring Italian breakfasts with self serve coffee machine.

Stayed at hotel 1st week of Oct 2010.Small friendly hotel and all staff so chatty and helpful.Breakfast a feast !!! Our first time in Lake Garda and Hotel Benaco.Would definitely stay here on next visit and highly recommend hotel to friends and family.

A lift would be beneficial but not a necessity.

A really relaxing family owned hotel of 21 bedrooms.Excellent friendly professional staff.Gardens and swimming pool area immaculate.A beautiful hotel with wonderful food at breakfast and evening meal.

There was nothing I disliked about this hotel.

Excellent helpful and friendly staff. Brilliant location- really central to centre of Garda, but 10 minutes off busy road and all rooms have view over lake. Food is fantasic and you can have champange, strawberries and smoked salmon for breakfast!

No

All the staff we encountered were extremely courteous, helpful and friendly.

No facilities for hot drinks in the rooms.

Hotel was exactly the excellent quality we were expecting and the staff were very efficient and friendly. Excellent location and views over the lake..

Friendly staff, convenient location

Range of bar meals did not cater for gluten-free diet, although the staff were accommodating in this respect

The staff were extremely helpful and could not do enough to ensure our stay was comfortable and went above their call of duty to assist me after having an accident in the resort and was unable to walk. They organised all our needs and were very sympathetic.

The hotel is very conveniently located near to the bus station, shops, restaurants and the lake front. The bedroom had all the basic facilities required and was kept very clean. The staff were generally pleasant and helpful. The swimming pool is lovely but rather a strange underground route in order to reach it. Breakfast was nice with a good selection.

The bedroom balcony overlooked a municipal car park with no view. The smoke from the residents on the balcony in the next bedroom, kept wafting into our bedroom and was very unplesant. The bedrooms are very small and both the bedrooms and the public rooms are rather shabby and dull. Little fresh fruit was available at breakfast.

The pool was much bigger than those of other hotels which we could see. There was also a more private garden area which was quieter than being next to the main pool. Also the hotel arranged transfer to Brescia airport at the end of our stay by taxi for only 6 euros each. It would have taken a lot longer and been more expensive had we tried to organise this ourselves.

We found that the beds were a little uncomfortable and the walls quite thin. In the mornings we could here lots of knocks on doors as other guests were going down to breakfast. Sometimes it sounded as if our door was being knocked on but it wasn't.
