Eine schöne Auszeit vom Alltag... 🤗
Pros:

Der Hauskaffee war sehr sehr schlecht...
Aber wir konnten auch anderen Kaffe aus der Maschine bestellen... der war O.K.
Sonst war das Frühstück in Ordnung...

Cons:

Sonst war alles sehr schön...
Wir waren schon oft in Desenzano...
Das Hotel ist mitten in der Altstadt... aber trotzdem leise... man muss kein Auto nehmen... denn man viele Spaziergänge machen...
Außer man will die anderen hübschen Orte besuchen...
Diese kann man auch ganz wunderbar mit den Schiffen erreichen...
Vielleicht sollte man noch den Lift erwähnen...
Sehr eng... kein Spiegel drinnen, denn dann würde es optisch etwas größer...
Und man sollte die Leute gleich aufmerksam machen, daß der Lift etwas Zeit braucht... bis er sich vor dem Aussteigen öffnet... Sonst bekommt man einen Schweißausbruch... denn man denkt... die Türe öffnet sich nicht...
Personal... Es sind alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit...

Pros:

Frábærlega staðsett hótel í Desenzano, labbar í ca 10 mín frá lestarstöðinni niður í miðbæinn þar sem hótelið er staðsett. Hótelið er staðsett við litla smábátahöfn og vöknuðum við með útsýnið yfir höfnina sem var dásamlegt. Herbergin eru komin til ára sinna en þrif voru til fyrirmyndar sem bætti upplifunina. Mæli hiklaust með þessu hóteli sem vilja rólegheit á kvöldin en mikla nálægð við líf á kvöldin, þar sem allt er krögt af veitingastöðum í kring. Einnig tekur ca 2 mín frá hótelinu að labba til hafnarinnar þar sem ferjuþjónustan til annarra áfangastaða Garda er í boði.

Cons:

Eins og ég nefndi þá eru herbergin komin til ára sinna, og var t.d. sturtuklefin mjög lítill.

Pros:

La habitación con balcón con vista al Porto Antico. Cómoda y limpia. Muy bueno el desayuno y la atención del personal encargado del mismo. Muy simpática la chica que se encuentra en la recepción por la tarde.

Cons:

Qué, habiendo llegado 15 minutos antes de la hora del check in, la señora que se encontraba en la recepción nos hiciera esperar la hora exacta para permitirnos entrar a la misma.

Reasonably priced hotel in Desenzano.
Pros:

The location was great! The staff was very helpful and polite. The room (we booked a room with the harbour view and balcony) was a bit small but clean, the bed was comfortable and the view was amazing! We would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.

Cons:

The breakfast was ok (it would have been nice to have scrambled eggs).

Localização perfeito e ótimo conforto.
Pros:

Localização e conforto quarto

Cons:

Gostei tudo exceto horário restrito demais de café da manhã e não ter um bar de apoio para pelo menos um lanche rápido ou café mesmo.
Para acessar o meu quarto tinha uma escada, que o elevador não chegava. Não foi um problema pois era só 1 lance, mas talvez uma pessoa com mais dificuldades precise evitar esse quadro. Precisa estar mais claro na descrição do quarto que tem a escada para acessar.
