Fantastic hotel in a very nice area. Walkable from the train station in around 10 minutes. There are loads of bars/ restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The ferry to other areas of Lake Garda is just around the corner. The air con in the room worked very well in the heat! Breakfast had lots of nice options, although you needed an engineering degree to work the toaster. Would recommend to any family/ friends and would stay here again if we return.
