“A corner of peace with a great view of the lake”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

I spent a day at the Araba Fenice with my company for a conference. The view of the lake from the hotel rooms is just stunning! The balcony is literally overlooking the water. It is peaceful, silent and calm. During the night I left the windows open so to listen the sound of the water. So nice!
The room was incredibly clean and all furniture were new. There was a nice sensation of freshness in the room, far from the dusty feeling that you can esily get in a big hotel.
On the negative side, there is limited outdoor space to sit and admire the view. Breakfast was a bit disappointing due to limited choice, even if cakes and croissant were of a very good quality.
Good parking area if you arrive with car. Bicycles are available and are free of charge (only a small deposit).

Room Tip: I think all rooms have a lake view, but if not, ask for a lake view!

“Romantic is the word”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

coming to this hotel and to this area of Italy is one of the most romantic things a couple can do.
It's worth every dime.
I did not come to this hotel in September because the date I was at this hotel did not appear I was at this lovely hotel in September 2009, just didn't have the time to write a review. - Sorry

“Adequate Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2009

We spent a few nights at Araba Fenice with family and friends. The views from the hotel are fantastic however, there is not much outdoor space to sit and admire the view. As it was October the pool area was closed but even so there are not tables a group to sit and enjoy a sundowner. The rooms were adequate. We had a lake view with balcony (lake view is a must due to the rail line) which was comfortable and clean.

The breakfast was disapointing and rather boring after the second day. Staff at the breakfast and the bar did not speak any english. Reception staff did speak English but were not overly helpful. Sergio at reception was the exception. He was helpful and went out of his way to assist.

We had stayed in other 4 star hotels in Italy during the previous few weeks and found this to be rather average.

Parking is convenient and the restaurant next door is great. Just remember a car is a must to get around however the hotel does have bikes for hire if you want to cycle to Iseo Town.

“Do not visit this hotel in august”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2009

person found this review helpful

we had a family room with a very nice view of the lake the room was big but needs a bit updating the airconditioning was so weak as non existing. In the end we slept very bad ,with open windows, since it was hot and very noisy from the street traffic.The good thing about the hotel was the pool not to big but very refreshing.
