Amazing location, friendly women at the desk but if I was staying longer I’d want more space and a better breakfast.
Pros:

The location is the selling point.

Cons:

Some of the staff are lovely but some don’t acknowledge you. The breakfast lets it down unfortunately and the shower was the smallest I’ve ever showered in to an uncomfortable point.

prima prijs kwaliteit en fantastische ligging
Pros:

Ligging fantastisch, personeel super gastvrij, ontbijt viel niets op aan te merken. Persoonlijk hou ik van wat steviger koffie maar dat is een minor detail.

Cons:

badkamer is zeer compleet maar de douchehoek is erg klein. water laat zich slecht regelen en de airco op de kamer gaat na een paar uur uit.

A great place to stay on Lake Garda.
Pros:

I stay at the Hotel Piroscafo every year. It is a great hotel and the staff are always super friendly. It is also in a beautiful spot on Lake Garda.
The rooms are very comfortable and clean. It is quite a small hotel and so it doesn’t get noisy. There are plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Desenzano is a great place for walking and for visiting other towns on the lake.

Great location with a view of the Harbour
Pros:

Location is great and the place is clean. I liked the decor in the bedroom, and the bed was comfortable (although the shower was a bit of a squeeze). Worth paying extra for the harbourside view with a balcony, otherwise there's a pleasing terrace overlooking the same, and breakfast is served facing the harbour - the staff who provide breakfast were particularly friendly. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at the Piroscafo.
