Cons:

De parking moet toch eens aangeduid worden. En per persoon die er logeert een sleutel van de kamer.

Die Lage ist sehr schön und man hat einen tollen Blick auf den See.

Ich habe das Hotel 3 Tage bewohnt, würde jedoch kein zweites Mal buchen.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, reichlich und für jeden etwas geboten.
Die Zimmer waren prinzipiell sauber (siehe was nicht gefallen hat).
Personal war sehr freundlich, auch die Hausherrin.

Cons:

Die Lage direkt an der Gardesana ließ sich im Internet nicht eruieren, sonst hätten wir nicht in diesem Hotel gebucht. Großer Autolärm, sitzen am Balkon nicht sehr gemütlich, Pool direkt daneben nicht fein.
Die Zimmer waren prinzipiell sauber, aber das Putzmittel roch extrem nach Chlor und man bekam Kopfweh davon. Lüften neben Gardesana und bei einem relativ kalten Wetter nicht gut möglich!
Bettdecken waren ziemlich alt und löchrig.
Wellnessbereich leider nie verfügbar!

Nice location in need of update
Pros:

The hotel is well located on the edge of Malcesine, an easy 10 minute walk into the village center. The view over the lake from the room is magnificent. Breakfast was apple, with many options.

Cons:

The decor of facility is a little dated, beds were not especially comfortable, and towels in the bathroom were threadbare. There is parking included at the rear of the property, but getting your luggage from the parking space to the room is a bit of a hassle. The matron of the hotel seemed a little put out when we ask her for ice a couple of times.

Pros:

Great location, very nice breakfast, comfortable and clean room. Free parking at the back of the hotel.

Cons:

Both WiFi and mobile network reception were quite bad. Tourist tax only in cash. No big issues, just something to take into account when you visit.

Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel et le parking privé.. La vue de notre terasse.

Cons:

Le chemin de l'hôtel vers le centre et le lac, il faut longer la route à pied sur une route sans trottoir, un peu dangereux.
La cabine de douche vraiment petite.

Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Gefehlt hat uns die Herzlichkeit und ein Lächeln die wir von Italien kennen.

Die Lage, große Terrasse

Cons:

Relativ unfreundliches und unflexibles Personal, etwas eintöniges Frühstück. Sehr kleines Zimmer.
