The staff here are lovely, friendly and helpful, the hotel is in the town so is ideal for those wanting just a very short stroll into the old town, Our room had just a stunning view of the castle and over the roofs of the old village and was worth the price alone. We had a nice balcony to look out on this view in the morning and evening and so really enjoyed this. The room was modern and clean with a nice bathroom. Will definitely return when we get the chance as Malcesine is just a delight to see and explore with many nice shops, bars and restaurants.

Highly recommend this beautiful hotel!

We stayed between 10th-16th August 2024 and we were so happy we got to stay at this hotel when we booked last minute. We were lucky enough that the only room left was superior double (room 22, 3rd floor) and was blown away by the view from the balcony, the photos do not do it justice! The room was clean, spacious with plenty of storage and a comfy large bed. From the minute we arrived staff were friendly and helped us book a taxi to Verona. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. The cakes, real honeycomb and scrambled eggs were our favourite. We looked forward to sitting on the terrace overlooking the well kept gardens. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and sun beds in the garden. The hotel itself was a perfect location for us to walk 30 seconds to a Despar shop, into the old town, to the cable car and a 3 min walk to the beach and port. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who would like a relaxing and luxury stay in Lake Garda.

Fabulous hotel with great views of the lake and castle, juat a few minutes walk to Malcasine centre where there are lots of lovely shops and restaurants. We had a beautiful room with a balcony. Large and comfortable room, tea and coffee, comfy bed, great shower, and all spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great with plenty of healthy choices. The staff were so helpful and friendly, couldn't do enough for you. We also used the hotel bikes free of charge and cycled around Riva. Be aware that there are lots of tunnels and you should wear hi viz. There is a fabulous bike/walking track around much of the lake. The ferry is a great way to get across the lake from Malcasine.

The location is fabulous! Amazing views of the castle and easy walking distance to town center, cable car, and hikes. The garden is a piece of paradise and I didn't see any other hotels with anything as nice. Service was friendly and efficient. Both the front desk staff and dining manager helped us a lot - booked us on a free walking tour, helped us decipher ferry timetables, and patiently answered all our questions. Breakfast was huge and delicious (though it was pretty much the exact same items every day so by the end of the week we were ready for a change). The room was basic but clean and comfortable... and that view! We'd definitely stay there again.

Hotel Ariston is the perfect place to stay.

We spent an incredible week in Malcesine and the Hotel Ariston was the perfect base for exploring everything Lake Garda has to offer. We stayed in room 25 at the far left hand side of the the top (third) floor. Great room with a breathtaking view of the castle and the lake. When we made the booking I was uncertain whether we should splash out a little extra to stay on the top floor and go for one of the rooms with a view of the lake but with hindsight it was the best decision we made. Room 25 was very modern and spacious and has a superb balcony but it was the views that really made it for us. Some of the other rooms have a view of the mountain which is nice but if you can, go for a room with a lake view.
