We're just back from beautiful Lake Garda staying at the Ambassador Hotel and what a hotel..Firstly i must say the staff here were fantastic,so friendly and nice they couldn't do enough to make our stay so perfect.The hotel is so relaxed and very central to everything. food in the hotel is lovely and a drink or two to wash it down is just what the doctor ordered.
You can relax by the generous size pool or hire a bike to take in the amazing views of the lake.We were very sad to say "Arrivederci" to the Ambassador Hotel and beautiful Lake Garda and it didn't break the bank either...value for money here....We will be back to stay at this hotel again,why not try it and make your own mind up? we did and loved every minute of it!
To the staff..again thankyou so much you were all amazing...oh yes Anna hope the "Plates of meat" are ok.
"Mille grazie"

Stayed self catering and the apartment was really spacious and bright with huge floor to ceiling windows. Great bathroom. Very impressed.

Clean & comfortable hotel. Good selection at breakfast. Most other visitors appeared to be English with tour operator, mountain-biking Germans/Austrians and coach parties. The latter two groups meant it was quiet in the day with plenty of room by the pool (mostly had it to ourselves!).
It's about a 25 minute walk from downtown Riva but only 5 from the lakeside, so it's a pleasant walk to town. In the other direction, there's about a 40 minute walk to Tolbore, which catches the evening sun.
Hotel is fine overall but, with our room package at least (went with First Choice), any extras are charged (internet, air con, pool towels, lounger mats, etc) - just be wary. Be wary of leaving cigarettes or small items of low value in the room too - the packet had a tendency to lose cigarettes mysteriously!

Stayed there for a week with First Choice. As everyone else has satyed its about a 15 minute walk into the beautiful town of Riva. Views are spectacular of mountains. No more than 15 minute walk to Lakeside.

Rooms are fine with Twin beds nice bathroom TV (Hope you like BBC World News or Eurosport in German!) Air Con. Mini Bar which you can use a fridge (just make sure you don't put your own stuff in when the maids are around).

However the hotel mainly caters for German coach trips which tends to be for the older clientelle. Maid service is daily although from what we saw they went round tidying the beds and emptying the bins. Dont expect your towels as a croccodile!

We stayed B&B and the breakfast is OK but the same every day. If you go by First Choice the trips are very good and although appear expensive value for money

No entertainment, the pool is small and obivously with the main stay being pensioners was quiet. Bar area again is small and not many people used it.

Restaurants nearby are very good and I would reccomend the nearest Magusta. The trouble is although there are a good number of within 5 minutes and in Riva, they all sell the same thing for roughly the same price. Would also recommend Flora bar and Ice Cream Palour for fab sundaes. Be prepared though €4 a beer. Wine is cheap though at €3.50 for a half litre caraffe. For your shopping and soft drinks go to the co-op five minutes away. Spar is nearer but dearer.

All in all a fab place to go but this hotel? Reasonably priced and is OK but I bet there are better nearby.
