my and I have had a wonderfull 4 nights on lake garda,the experience was enhanced by the situation of our hotel.we spent every night on our balcony looking out at the castle and lake.it is one of the best value hotels we've stayed at and certainly best situation.we did note that not all rooms have balconies more

this hotel has very central position, just beside the Sirmione castle but as it´s located in the lakeshore, it´s very quiet. all rooms have lakeview- wonderful!!! the staff was very helpful and nice. room was spacious, clean, with comfortable beds, only the shower in our bathroom wasn´t working properly... in the pirce is not included breakfast, but the hotel has... more

This place has so much potential - its in a GREAT location near the castle and our room (#28) had beautiful lake views and a small balcony. However we had so many problems with the hotel that I can't recommend it as a good value. First, there is no A/C (which is not necessarily a drawback in my opinion) BUT... more

We absolutely loved Hotel Grifone because of the view and the lapping water just outside our window. Get the room with the "terrace" (which is really just a full window..) You will see the castle walls on the right, see and hear the lake in front, and see the mountains and thermal areas of the lake on the left. We... more

Reall nice place, read some reviews on tripadvisor and decided to go with it, stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed our time here. Rooms were simple but clean and had a really nice view of the lake. Hotel is right in the centre of the old town and staff were more than helpful. Would recommend if you are not... more

A fantastic location with lake views. This was the first time in years that I'ved stayed in a 2 star hotel (normally being lucky enough to stay in 4-5 star hotels) and was pleasantly surprised with the Griffone. The room was sparse but very clean and with all the basics you need. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful -... more

With some trepidation after having read the reviews on this site my wife and I booked the Grifone for a couple of nights in May 2007. Leaving aside a wait of an hour or so for someone to greet us on arrival (there was nobody home) our stay was perfect - wonderful waterfront location, beautiful room, great views, tremendous meals... more

This was my 4th stay at the hotel and I have to say I enjoyed it as much as the first time. However I have to say that some of the comments from dissatisfied guests are to some extent justified. It is indeed a beautiful location. As I understand it the hotel and restaurant are managed by a brother and... more

The location of this hotel is very nice (as are many others hotels), being directly next to the Castle in the old town of Sirmione. As for the hotel and the staff- the front desk manager was incredibly rude throughout our entire stay; perhaps if she would have been more hospitible our experience might have been better or a least... more
