Pobyt uważam za bardzo udany.
Pros:

Śniadania były bardzo dobre, wszystko świeże, duży wybór. Hotel położony przy porcie, bez hałasu głównych ulic, sporo lokali gastronomicznych w pobliżu. Pokój bardzo ładny, zadbany, sprzątany codziennie. Widok z balkonu przepiękny.

Cons:

Brak negatywów.

Absolutely fabulous!
Pros:

We stayed here for 4 nights on arrival we were given an upgrade on our room, which was on the third floor, really spacious and comfortable. The hotel is in an excellent location right in the historic centre and overlooking the old harbour. It has a terrace which too looks on to the harbour. Though in the centre it was a quiet hotel. There was a fantastic choice for breakfast which we enjoyed outside under the porticoes looking at the small boats. The hosts and other staff were extremely helpful and friendly. This is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location in beautiful Desenzano del Garda.

Hotel muito bem localizado em Desenzano del Garda
Pros:

Hotel pequeno, familiar, em Desenzano del Garda, no Lago de Garda. Excelente localização (imbatível), quarto um pouco pequeno, mas nada que comprometa a estadia. Bom banheiro, boa cama, boa roupa de cama e banho. Perto de tudo (das barcas, dos restaurantes, das lojas, super bem localizado, o ponto mais forte do hotel)

Cons:

Café da manhã básico, sem maiores expectativas, mas atende bem. Não compromete a estadia, até porque não é nenhum 4 estrelas. Hotel para quem privilegia localização, segurança, conforto básico

Pros:

Lokalizacja super

Cons:

Zarezerwowałem pokój z klimatyzacją niestety była ona nie sprawna. Po zgłoszeniu do recepcji usłyszałem odpowiedź że to są Włochy i to normalne. Nie to nie normalne bo poprzednie 3noce spaliliśmy w Riva del garda i klima działała jak należy. Mieliśmy nocleg na 3 noce po pierwszej uciekliśmy bo w pokoju było 30stopni. Śniadanie bardzo skromne żadnego ciepłego dania typu jajecznica czy parówki.

A gorgeous hotel in a perfect location.
Pros:

Perfect location in Desenzano. The staff here are so helpful and friendly. The room was a bit small but we had everything we needed. Clean with air conditioning a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Also shower products to use ( although we didn't use them)
We had a beautiful shared balcony which overlooked the lake. Really quiet at night so a good night sleep is guaranteed! A Simple breakfast but fresh and plenty to choose from. There is a little bar next door that is great for a pre dinner drink!

Хотелось бы кофейный аппарат в зоне завтрака, чтоб самим выбирать кофе и его количество
Pros:

Матрас для меня был слишко мягким, хотелось по плотнее. Заврак был обычным, но в восторг пришла от свежайших апельсинов.

Cons:

На завтрак не хватало сосиски или жаренного бекона.

Absolutely loved our trip to Desenzano
Pros:

The perfect location!! Friendly and helpful staff. Our room was on the small side but we had everything we needed including a beautiful shared terrace to relax on. The breakfast was simple but fresh everyday. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in beautiful Desenzano, the perfect place to stay on Lake Garda. The bar next door is brilliant too for a coffee during the day or drinks before dinner.
