“Very comfortable”

We stayed here for two nights during our Trafalgar tour of Italy. Our room was very large and we had a great bathroom. Service at the hotel was outstanding. Free snacks were served in the lobby/bar each night to accompany a pre-dinner drink. The hotel is very clean and a good place to stay while touring the Italian lakes. It might be out of the way for independent travellers, but being part of the tour, we were taken everywhere in the coach. We enjoyed it very much. Internet was available in the lobby area.

“Worst Hotel on our Tour”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2010

We stayed here as part of a Trafalgar Tour. This hotel was the worst one we stayed in. The rooms are old and not terribly clean. We were glad that we were only staying one night - we arrived late and left early in the morning. Someone mentioned that this hotel has the biggest bar sales of any hotel in the area which explains a lot. It is inexpensive, noisy, party hotel.

“Recalls a more leisurely time.”

Stayed here overnight as part of a tour. In fact it was dark when we arrived and foggy when we left the next morning so we don`t really know what the town is like. Don`t be fooled by the new facade on the building though, this is still a `60`s or `70`s hotel. Wide corridors with tables, large rooms with couches lots of space. Very comfortable, but very dated. We stayed for a dinner in the hotel restaurant, which was acceptable, but not spectacular. Service was sufficient. It gets the job done, but its days are numbered.

“shop around first”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2009

we went with a tour group for our honeymoon and this was one of the hotels we stayed at. We found the hotel to be dirty, the bedding seemed clean but the stairs had cobwebs the size of small cars and the elevator didn't work at the best of times. We got stuck twice in the elevator but were lucky enough to get it to go back up one floor so we could get out. The front desk personnel were very rude, it was like pulling teeth to drop off or retrieve our room key. fortunately we only had to spend 2 nights here. If you are going to the Italian lakes and just need a place to sleep and don't care about service or cleanliness then this hotel would be ok. If you want a comfortable place to spend your time in this beautiful area and you are not with a tour group then I would shop around first.

“Beware...filthy & noisy!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2009

I recently stayed at this hotel as part of a tour group. While from the outside the hotel looks fine, I was terribly disappointed by the inside. The rooms themselves are out of date, which is to be expected at many European hotels. Almost immediately, we began to hear very loud noise in the room which we thought at first to be construction. Turns out, it is the elevator and the noise is constant. It can be heard throughout the building...the restaurant, lobby, hallways, etc.

On our last night upon returning to our room, we were greeted by a HUGE spider on the curtain. Since it was late and we were tired, we smashed it and went to bed, happy to be leaving the next morning. I guess we were luck because some members of the group had to sleep in beds with ants.

Also, don't pay for the Internet service. I paid 5 Euros to use the computer for one hour and it took half that just to log on. After a few more minutes of frustration, I gave up.

The only good thing I can include is that the staff was very helpful and accomodating. With all of the complaints I'm sure they receive, I don't know how they do it.
