Absolutely impeccable cleanliness, very good rooms (we had a suite with room divider to separate the children, two bathrooms, one with big jacuzzi bath), good food. Several pools. Very relaxing, non-rowdy clientele. Not on the lake front - just a few minutes away. Expensive but not really much to fault.

Didn't know what to think of a hotel with this name but so glad I looked. Well located with big supermarket next door, petrol station across the road, bus station a 3 minute walk (if you want to go to Verona) and the lake front 5 minutes away. Not typical Italian lake hotel style but very modern and stylish with lots of space to stop, chat and have a drink. Lovely big pool though not enough loungers for high season (90 rooms). Breakfast buffet was great and the restaurant food was pretty good too. The entire hotel staff were so helpful and accommodating. The rooms and common areas were beautifully decorated (colourful) and very clean. You should note that most rooms don't have a lake view and those that do are mainly smaller and face the road so it could be too noisy in high season. Stayed 4 nights in very spacious Mosaico suite but view of lake only when you step out onto the balcony. Huge bathroom with jacuzzi bath and good toiletries. I'd recommend it to families and couples alike. If flying to Verona, get them to organise taxi transfer (about 30 minutes) as it's almost half the price of what online airport transfer companies charge (£44) !

What makes The Color Hotel different, in our opinion, from all the other wonderful Efficient, Clean and Friendly Hotels is the smiling faces of all its staff. When we arrived at the Hotel we were greeted by big smiles from the reception staff, who spoke fluent english, and had a great sense of humour. We were made fell at ease immediately and unlike most hotels it was the receptionist who took us to our room. They had decorated our room with balloons and buntings as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary. What a surprise, a good laugh and a great start. In the mornings even the housekeeping staff had a big smile and a hearty bonjourno. By the time you got to sit for breakfast you had to be in good form - bonjourno, bonjourno, bonjourno. They had all the information we needed for trips around Lake Garda, Verona and Bardolino. The big advantage of Bardolino over most of the other locations is that it is reasonably flat so walking around the locality is a pleasure and not a challenge. The Hotel, location and facilities are as good as the other best write-ups say. We stayed for 8 nights and had a great holiday. If you enjoy life you should enjoy a holiday in The Color Hotel.

We stayed at the Color Hotel for 5 nights. The entire experience, including reception, hotel amenities, and dining, was simply fabulous. Don't pay attention to the isolated nasty reviews about this hotel. The whole place is clean, tastefully decorated, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The service in the dining room was immaculate and the food was exceptional. Highly recommended.
