We enjoyed our stay at hotel Desiree. However the balcony floor and table had not been cleaned (and where not during our 4 day stay) and we missed having wine glasses on our room. The minibar was not filled and we missed being able to order at the pool without having to go inside. The breakfast had what we needed and the beds, although they where quite hard, where nice. One thing we absolutely did not like was that the staff cleaning the rooms put our things away in drawers (different places every day), moved my skin care products, closed my toilet bag etc. But overall, a nice stay that we enjoyed. All things to fix are small and very manageble. We would come back!

Absolutely amazing stay, the hotel staff were so accommodating and friendly. Our room was a lake view and was great to wake up and sit on the balcony and enjoy the sights. Really easily accessible and in a great quiet area. We will definitely be visiting again.

Perfect location, staff were great, along with the breakfast! However it could do with a fridge in the room especially when its 35 degree heat and I was also unaware of the 70 euro parking fee plus 15 tax. Apart from that it was lovely.

Wonderful hotel, views WOW!

Myself and my family visited this hotel for a family holiday over the second May bank holiday (UK) I booked it in July last year and it was well worth the wait the staff special mentioned to Jacqueline & Alina on reception they are super helpful they are so welcoming and it’s just what you need when you come back after a long day of sightseeing or if you need assistance for the family, in this particular case they were amazing. The room I selected for us, was mid range with Lakeview is it did not disappoint. I will miss not waking up to that every day. The breakfast is mainly Continental but they do have a variety of eggs to help you if you need that hot fix Nunzio and Monica are brilliant when you wander down half asleep give it a day and they will remember what had a hot drink you want whether it is “chocolata” or “caffè”. The spread is constantly monitored and refreshed and if you are lucky you might get last night’s chocolate cake for breakfast yay! the hotel parking offered is a very reasonable fee if you make it that far! the road into Sirmione, it’s not for the faint hearted but it’s well worth it and for the views alone! we loved sitting on the balcony in the morning listening to the birds staring at the lake enjoying the quiet. The oasis is relaxing and well worth a visit too. I would also like to say a big thank you to the director, he is very helpful and is always on hand to assist, I would return in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for a fab holiday!

Good location away from the central town zoo, but within easy walking distance. Excellent breakfast and dinner included which in themselves would have probably cost as much in town as our entire hotel bill.

Lovely Hotel with relaxing pool area

Had a fabulous time at Hotel Desiree. Hotel yet to complete refurbishing all of its rooms. Hotel foyer and dining area very modern with comfortable seating area to have a drink. Pool area idyllic setting, very quiet and quaint. Lovely staff. Felt our room could have been less bland, needed pics on the walls, but had a brilliant view of the lake as hotel in an elevated position. Comfortable lounge area and large modern breakfast and dining area. Food very good if you take half board. Varied menu saved us eating spaghetti Bolognese and pizza every night. Loved our break at Lake Garda.
