RUN!!!
Cons:

Awful dark smelly hotel! For the views they advertise they lack cleanliness, service and common decency. I came here for the view and they gave me a room facing a wall of another building when I asked to be moved to another room they told me I had to leave. It was getting dark and I'm a female traveling alone. I asked to speak with the owner and after the employee was finally convinced to put her on the phone she yelled at me to get out. They had no compassion for how scared I was. I even asked them to at least reach out to booking and cancel the reservation, they refused. I have never experienced something like this in my life! There are so many beautiful views of the city, their so called view is not worth it.

Fijne ligging, vriendelijk personeel, schone kamers.

In de boeking stond dat er een bad bij de kamer zou zijn, echter was die niet aanwezig.

Guter , angenehmer Aufenthalt. Gute Ausgangslage für Ausflüge.
Pros:

Vom Zimmer selber, dass als "superior" angepriesen wird, hat mich ehrlich gesagt etwas enttäuscht. Ich hätte vlt. noch eine Blumenvase o.ä. erwartet. Die Grösse und Ausstattung war aber gut. Schöner Balkon. Gute Aussicht. Die Strasse tagsüber etwas lärmig. Die Betten waren Bequem. Das Frühstück recht reichhaltig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Vorhänge waren schon etwas ramponiert und das Wasser im Waschbecken lief, wie fas in jedem Hotel, nicht wirklich gut ab. Sonst gibt es wirklich nichts zu meckern.

Schöne Lage, sehr einfache Zimmer
Pros:

Die Lage ist prima und der Blick aus den Zimmern mit Seeblick sehr schön. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Trotz gehobener Preiskategorie kleines, sehr minimalistisch eingerichtetes Zimmer mit Plastikstühlen und sehr einfachen Möbeln, die ein bisschen das "Flair" einer Jugendherberge haben.. Ausgesprochen harte Matratze (geschätzt mindestens H3), die allerdings auf Wunsch mit Topper verbessert wurde. Sehr enge Mini Dusche in winzigem einfachem Bad.. Der relativ hohe Zimmerpreis rechtfertigt sich wohl nur durch die tatsächlich schöne Aussicht vom Balkon auf Altstadt und See . Frühstück akzeptabel, aber auch nichts besonderes.

Stunning views
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel, perfectly located just steps from the Monte Baldo cable car — an ideal base for exploring beautiful Malcesine. My room was simple yet very comfortable, with a balcony that opened up to stunning views of the castle, mountains, and lake. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the surroundings. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was generous and delicious — we especially loved the fresh bread, cakes, and the big hunk of parmesan cheese! My family and I had a truly lovely experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Malcesine.
