The spa facilities were very nice. I wasn’t aware there was a charge to use the facilities. That’s ok, but guests can’t get access to spa and until 3:00 in afternoon and must book it for 3 hours. I like morning soaks or at least at my convenience, not the hotel’s.

Overall a good hotel, great spa, dated decor

Very lovely front desk staff and the spa was great. Although the views from the room were beautiful and location was great, unfortunately the decor in the rooms was incredibly dated and they didn't offer any room service.

The balcony overlooking the lake was the highlight of the stay. The room was a little tired and the outside of the building in desperate need of some maintenance but could look at that view all day.

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed our stay. We had a corner room with a large balcony with table, chairs and parasol. The room looked over the marina and out towards the lake as well as the square. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They provided a driver to take us to the station on departure. Our room was large and traditionally decorated. It felt a little tired but was perfectly comfortable. Due to the location of the hotel overlooking bars and restaurants, the room was noisy on our second night as a rock band were playing outdoors. Not the hotels fault but something to be aware of. We did not use the spa so cannot comment. Breakfast was very good. The ferry to Sirmione and other places was available right outside the hotel.

Hotel hat eine tolle Lage, mitten in der Stadt und direkt am See. Die Zimmer sind sauber und renoviert, absolut schalldichte Fenster. Die Fassade ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber man hat den Eindruck, dass nach und nach alles renoviert wird. Der Wellnessbereich ist sehr schön und die Yoga Stunde war sehr gut. Frühstück Buffet war ebenfalls bestens.

Excellent hotel in an amazing location

The Hotel Mayer was a great place to stay for our short break in Desenzano and we'd happily stay here again. The hotel and room was very clean and comfortable with an unexpected partial view of the lake from the balcony. The noise insulation was brilliant given we were overlooking a very busy square. Reception staff were friendly although it was a bit more hit and miss at breakfast. There was plenty of choice of options to eat, however. The location is perfect - central and on the waterfront, but just a 10 minute walk (albeit uphill) to the station.

Excellent location, just across road from lake ferry, rooms facing lake are superb, the waiter serving drinks to us all week was very attentive, and lots of places to eat within 5 minutes walk. The breakfast in the hotel was really good, didn't take lunch or evening meals in the hotel as we like to venture out, but the dining room is in an ideal location facing the lake. The walk back to the train station, although only 15-20 minutes walk, is all uphill and a taxi to take us there with our cases was difficult to find on the day of leaving. The reception manageress was kind enough to take us there in her own car (a 5 minute drive). All in all, it's definitely a place I would visit again and well worth the 5 stars.
