We throughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Garda, this excellent hotel offers wonderful food, very friendly staff and spotlessly clean rooms. The drinks were cheaper than we paid in Menorca earlier this year only 5 euros for half a litre of wine. Lovley and quite at night, comfatable beds and rooms cleaned every day. A couple of nights there was... more

The Hotel is situated near the Lake on the outskirts of Riva del Garda about a 20min walk along the Lake shore. The swimming pool is at the front which is near a busy road but is screened of by palm trees. The room we had was at the back of the Hotel which overlooked an "allotment" and apartments with... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two weeks August 29th-September 12th 2009. We booked the hotel just one month before departure via Thomson website and we got an excellent price of £815 per person for Half board (free lunch is available if you wish-we never ate lunch at the hotel) which we thought was outstanding value considering... more

We spent a week in Hotel Garda at the beginning of September and had a most enjoyable holiday. Our room overlooked the swimming pool and so, we benefited from the morning and evening sun when in the hotel.

We were in one of the refurbished rooms with a modern en suite but... more

We stayed in this hotel for the 'relaxing' section of our mini tour of Italy in July 2009. We travelled to the hotel from Verona using the slow (2.5 hours) but very inexpensive (6 Euro each way) and scenic local coach service (APTV service, number 62-64). Arriving in Riva, the bus stop is only 100 metres from the Hotel, on... more
