We stayed at the Hotel Lido during June. While the staff are very friendly and option to borrow bicycles is very convenient, the room was quite disappointing, even considering the realatively low price of 80 Euros.
Hotel Lido is located right on the busy main road. This in not uncommon for hotels around Lake Garda. Noise from the traffic outside is very annoying in this hotel as sleeping with the window closed is not an option in summer. Thereis no air conditioning and NOT EVEN A FAN! this means that closing the window translates to stifling heat and the risk of dehydration during the night. Leaving the window opens means passing trucks keep you awake all night. So we basically had to chose between heat and noise.
The decor of the hotel is well preserved considering they haven't redecorated since the early 70s. This might be appealing for those interested in retro interior design.
On the plus side the staff are lovely people and very kind.
The persian rugs in the entrance lobby are a nice touch.
