“A great base”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here in August 2011, and found it a great base for exploring Lake Garda and the surrounding areas. The staff were really helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The hotel is a lovely walk along the lakeside from central Riva (great to walk off all the fabulous ice-cream!) and is in a quiet location. Our room was really spacious and traditionally decorated. You will be disappointed if you come expecting a contemporary decor. The room was really clean on our arrival and was cleaned daily. Each room had a safe to secure some smaller items. The pool is a little on the small side but we got sunbeds any time we came down. It was really useful to have internet access while we were there. The breakfast buffet was great and really set us up for our days exploring Lake Garda. We also used the bikes to get in and out of town on a few occasions so that was a useful extra to have available. All in all, we had a great holiday in Riva del Garda and would recommend to anyone to visit here. We would love to return and would happily book again if we do return to Riva del Garda.

“Nothing Changes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

This is the third time we have stayed at The Gabry. It is familly run and they are all very friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfasts are superb and the homemade cakes and pastries are delicious. If you are a windsurfer or cyclists then this is the place for you. They run organised cycle trips from the hotel every day which are of varying distances and if you want to windsurf, then you are a short walk (20mins along the lakeside) from all the expertese you could possibley want.

“Avoid this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Gabry for 4 nights in September 2011.
It is quite difficult to find this hotel as it is at the very end of a cul-de-sac squeezed in between several other hotels which over look your balcony and pool area.
Unfortunately, this hotel is very basic and is clearly not worth paying almost 90 Euros per night per room for bed & breakfast.
On arrival we were checked in by a very unwelcoming young man. In fact, all the reception staff we encountered during our stay were exactly the same and did not acknowledge us as we came and went through reception throughout the day.
The standard double room was extremely basic with not enough drawer space, a tiny TV and no waste paper basket. The bathroom was very compact with a tiny shower cubicle. We were charged an extra 6 Euros per day for air con which was a complete waste of money as the air con was switched of when we left the room. The air con was only a noisy fan blowing cold air when you were actually in the room but went off as you left and therefore you came back to a very warm room. We could not use it during the night as it was too noisy. The old fashioned key operated room safe was tiny and is only good for very small and thin items.
We thought breakfast was reasonable for the first couple of days until one evening we saw the buffet tables were just covered with a couple of table cloths and left out for the following morning. The bowls of various cereals were not even covered over but just lying exposed. On the third day the warm scrambled eggs and sausages were inedible.
One reason we chose this hotel was for internet access as we take a laptop with us to keep in touch with family and friends. However, the two PC's in the bar were appallingly slow at everything (one was not working at all) and the in-room ADSL cable operated internet access was even worse and was completely useless. We resorted to going out to other hotels where wi-fi with decent speed was available.
We did not use the pool area but we did try once to use the outside sitting areas, but the gardens were overgrown with lots of black fly and mossies. We spent most of our time during the day and evening away from the hotel.
The Hotel Gabry is a very poor quality hotel and we would not recommed it at all.

“OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

In many ways a good hotel with a nice staff and free bikes to ride, but it was a bit of a walk to reach the center of town.The wifi was free, but it was too slow to use for anybody with an average amount of patience.

Nice hotel, but not exellent. Breakfast was good and tasty. Staff was helpful. Room was clean, but bed was uncomfortable, too hard. Aircondition was expensive, 40€/week, but bikes was free to hire. A little bit too far from citycentre, but to lake was only 100 meters.
