Booked 2 rooms with half board, which represented excellent value. All hotel staff were the epitome of professionalism. Meals in the restaurant and breakfast room were fantastic. Their private beach was just that. This hotel was so good that I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. So good that. We will stay there again if we are in... More

The Sportsman is everything that previous reviews have said - comfortable, good service, clean etc etc. Its location on the shores of the lake is just perfect - except in times of torrential rain. We stayed in the first week of September when the heat wave finally broke, and the resulting thunderstorms were quite something to experience. However, as the... More

Stayed at the Sportsman with my wife and 2 children for 2 weeks and can honestly say this is a fantastic hotel and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, or stay here again. This was our third stay at Lake Garda with Thomson and our first at the Sportsman. We saw the hotel last year and loved the location and... More

We have always enjoyed staying at the Hotel Sportsman and our recent visit is no exception. The hotel is located right by the shore of Lake Garda with wonderful views of the lake and mountains beyond. It has its own private beach with loungers and parasols as well as a swimming pool with Jacuzzi area. There is a very pleasant... More

PROS: This hotel is right on lake Garda and I mean right in front of the hotel. The view is terrific, the amenities wonderful, the location excellent and the staff friendly and accommodating. We arrived a day early and were lucky to get a room for that night as well, but the front desk person was wonderful about it. This... More

I agree with comments made by Lynn G. Just a couple of extra tips. Take some insect repellent and bite cream. Midges not too bad only acquired 3 or 4 bites but remember you are next to a lake and the gardens. Also visit to Venice was toooo hot even though we visited Venice by night, the temperatures did not... More

The rooms are very nice indeed. Very clean. Which is only what could be expected from the price. The breakfast is wonderful. The Pool area is not suitable for small children since there is only a very small place where they can be. You also get the impression that children are not very welcome at all around the pool. It...

Lovely clean hotel, all staff very helpful and well mannered, nothing a problem. Food was excellent, evening meal ordered from the menu at breakfast time with a good choice of main courses. Chef also catered for people with Coeliac Disease and provided a Gluten Free Diet for them. Advice on Gluten Free choices for each course was given every mealtime... More

My wife and I have just got back from our honeymoon at the sportsman. After reading the reviews on here we decided to give it ago. We were so pleasantly impressed with the hotel it really made for a lovely holiday. You can always tell a good hotel by the way it's full and the majority of the guests are... More
