Very comfortable hotel, would stay again.
Pros:

The view is amazing, located right on the edge of Lake Garda .... great location just outside the main part and port of Desenzano,..... we loved Desenzano......better option than staying in the more busy Sirmione. Reception and bar staff very helpful, friendly and efficient. Contact by email with the hotel between booking and date of arrival was excellent, very helpful and prompt replies. Room size was really good ( we did get a free upgrade to a lake view room). Tea and coffee-making facilities, and the fridge, were very welcome (don't always get those in Italy).

If (when) visiting again we would request/want to book a room on a higher floor with a balcony to fully appreciate the view and location.

Cons:

Nothing we didn't like - a really comfortable stay (2 nights)

Cons:

Nothing.

We definitely enjoyed our experience staying there!
Pros:

Enjoyed the breakfast, great coffee, Stefan was awesome and very attentive, the restaurant food was outstanding. Our bed and pillows especially were excellent.

Cons:

My wife and I are 60, so getting in and out of the shower/bathtub was challenging and risky. Pretty big step getting in and out!

Rilassante e piacevole
Pros:

Mi è piaciuta la pulizia, non solo della stanza, ma anche degli ambienti comuni.
Ottima cucina. Personale educato e gentile, le signore addette al rifacimento e pulizia delle stanze, molto professionali e attente.
Ottima posizione perché vicinissima al centro e ancor più vicina al Lago, dalla mia stanza sentivo le onde del lago infrangersi sulla riva.

Muss ich nicht nochmal haben bei einem 4 Stern Hotel.
Pros:

Die Lage ist wirklich gut.
Das Restaurant ist auch ganz ok. Das Personal war auch recht freundlich.
Wir durften unseren auch unseren Hund überall mit hin nehmen.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Es wurde auch nicht mal was repariert, z.B. abgeblättertes Mauerwerk, in unserem Badezimmer statt ein Fenstergriff wurde da einfach ein Farbroller Bügel befestigt. Auf dem Balkon lag ein uralter Kunstrasen.
Wenn es windig war hörte man Pfeifgeräusche an den Türen. Das Treppenhaus konnte man auch nicht wirklich benutzen, diente als Ablagestelle. Die Sauberkeit war „ ok“ wir waren 9 Tage dort… es wurde nicht einmal gefragt ob alles ok ist, außer bei der Abreise. ( Konnten se sich auch sparen)
Wir haben uns nicht wirklich willkommen gefühlt.

Not great
Pros:

Good location, courteous staff

Cons:

Even for Italy this is a mid range 3 star at best, uncomfortable beds, tired bathrooms, old fashioned decor and mediocre breakfast. Value for money was pretty poor the best thing is the location.

Pros:

Wir waren für eine Nacht im Hotel Estée um die Generalprobe der Flugshow zu sehen. Die Lage des Hotels ist einfach genial. Direkt an der Seepromenade und wir konnten vom Hotelpool die Show bestens sehen. Das Exekutive Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sehr sauber ( obwohl ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen). Es hat uns an Nichts gefehlt. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Restaurant war top mit schönem Seeblick. Auch der Pool war einwandfrei. Wir können das Hotel Estée nur weiterempfehlen.
Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Lubię Dezensano to znakomity punt wypadoway i jest stąd blisko do Sirmione.
Pros:

Śniadania OK. Lokalizacja znakomita, kilka kroków do centrum miasta, spokojne miejsce, ale uwaga, trzeba wybrać pokój z balkonem lub tarasem z widokiem na jezioro. My zmienialiśmy pokój za niewielką dopłatą bo pierwotnie byliśmy z widokiem na ruchliwą ulicę.

Cons:

Stan świetności ma już chyba za sobą (nie jest nowy), ale na następny pobyt też go chętnie wybiorę.
