Excellent breakfast! Eggs, bacon, juice, yogurt, fruit, and such a variety of pastries. The rooms are basic and the shower is a bit small but everything is very clean. I would definitely stay here again. Staff does a great job. Nice location. A grocery store is in walking distance. No complaints. Hotel riel is a great place to stay and the breakfast is the best!

We had an awesome stay. The staff were pleasant. Having a restaurant on site was great.
Disappointed that the fridge did not work in the room even though we reported it several times. The excuse from the staff at the hotel was that ‘it was a chiller and not a fridge’. Even so, it was broken and Our food spoiled.

Good value for money but a bit noisy
Good location and good size room. Breakfast is good if you like pastries and sweet things, you also can order a nice coffee like cappuccino or macchiato. There is eggs, bacon, bread etc and it’s good enough but would not say amazing. The staff is friendly. The thing that did bother us was that you hear absolutely everything through the walls in the room. Also, every time another guest closed their door our door would shake and it felt almost like they would come inside our room. Other than that we were happy with our stay and it is good value for money.

Dinner was good on first night, not so much on second night. Breakfast was excellent on first morning but not as good on second morning. At 6am you could hear people talking and coughing which woke me up early, also i woke up cold just before 6am. Soundproofing is needed in rooms and heat should come on around 5am to prevent a cold room.

5 nights at Lake Garda
Its a great location, not far from the lake front and several nice restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, its possible to walk to the historical centre of Sirmone which we did but the hotel also offers free bike hire! Rooms are spacious, modern and really clean, pool is a nice size for the hotel and never felt overly crowded. The free breakfast was a nice offer and food was nice but we didn't eat there every morning, it didn't appear to be replenished so best to go around 9 or before. All the staff were very friendly and the pizzas at the restaurant were the best we had in the area! The only slightly off putting thing was having to walk through the restaurant and in between diners to exit and enter but that's minor! It would have been nice to have a side entrance for hotel guests. The hotel is very close to a large supermarket and also on the bus route for the main bus to Verona and to go around the south of the lake which was handy! Overall a really nice stay!

Good hotel, excellent service, staff and food.
We stayed here for six nights.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Our room was comfortable, clean and provided all that we required. However the television, although supposedly offering both Italian terestial and satellite channels, did not offer much in english (apart from China National Television news channel in English).
The Al Braciere Restaurant and Pizzeria was excellent for evening meals. Fish and pizzas were first class. Breakfast gave an enormous choice of food, buffet style. More than enough to sed us through until evening!
We stayed in early October. I was slightly disappointed that the pool was completely closed off.
The hotel is situated on the south shore of Lake Garda. It is about a one hour walk to the historic town centre of Sirmione - a very pleasant, mainly lakeside, walk.
I would be very happy to stay here again when visiting Lake Garda.
