Dinner was good on first night, not so much on second night. Breakfast was excellent on first morning but not as good on second morning. At 6am you could hear people talking and coughing which woke me up early, also i woke up cold just before 6am. Soundproofing is needed in rooms and heat should come on around 5am to prevent a cold room.

Good hotel, excellent service, staff and food.

We stayed here for six nights. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable, clean and provided all that we required. However the television, although supposedly offering both Italian terestial and satellite channels, did not offer much in english (apart from China National Television news channel in English). The Al Braciere Restaurant and Pizzeria was excellent for evening meals. Fish and pizzas were first class. Breakfast gave an enormous choice of food, buffet style. More than enough to sed us through until evening! We stayed in early October. I was slightly disappointed that the pool was completely closed off. The hotel is situated on the south shore of Lake Garda. It is about a one hour walk to the historic town centre of Sirmione - a very pleasant, mainly lakeside, walk. I would be very happy to stay here again when visiting Lake Garda.

5 nights at Lake Garda

Its a great location, not far from the lake front and several nice restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, its possible to walk to the historical centre of Sirmone which we did but the hotel also offers free bike hire! Rooms are spacious, modern and really clean, pool is a nice size for the hotel and never felt overly crowded. The free breakfast was a nice offer and food was nice but we didn't eat there every morning, it didn't appear to be replenished so best to go around 9 or before. All the staff were very friendly and the pizzas at the restaurant were the best we had in the area! The only slightly off putting thing was having to walk through the restaurant and in between diners to exit and enter but that's minor! It would have been nice to have a side entrance for hotel guests. The hotel is very close to a large supermarket and also on the bus route for the main bus to Verona and to go around the south of the lake which was handy! Overall a really nice stay!

Hotel Riel

A little hotel close to Sirmione. We stayed one night on the way from Milan to Venezia - very convenient. We walked from the hotel to Sirmione and back, but there is a shuttle available. Small room in the hotel, but it was enough space for us for 1 night. A safe in the room, a kettle, and a restaurant - we had breakfast there but not dinner - it was opened from 7pm. We had dinner in Sirmione. There is a grocery store nearby, 200 yards.
