Hotel Giardinetto - Desenzano del Garda

9.5

I stayed for one night in Giardinetto and I found it to be excellent in every way. Midway between station and lake- an easy walk to either- and although it is on a busy road, my room was quiet and I was not disturbed. Very hospitable and welcoming staff, excellent breakfast,I would definitely stay again. A friendly comfortable delightful hotel.

8.6

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The only inconvenience were our neighbors loudly slamming the door, but nobody is immune from that.

7.9

Une réceptionniste parlait anglais. Elle était très serviable et nous a donné beaucoup d'information pour les visites. Hôtel très propre, chambre assez grande pour standard européen. Je recommanderais cet hôtel sans problème. Nous avons été très satisfaits.

9.7

I have been in this hotel for 2 nights in a triple room. The service was really good, familiar and professional, ready to help you in any query. It was really clean and good food in the breakfast. The area was fantastic. The town is one of the biggest in Garda's lake and it's really easy to get in there as you have a motorway few kilometres away. I highly recommend this hotel, quality is higher than price. I have been in more expensive hotels where I didn't get the kidness of Hotel Giardineto. If I come back to Garda's lake I will come back to this place.

9.5

Sehr gutes und sauberes Hotel. Ca.3 min zu Fuß ins Zentrum bzw. Hafen. Frühstück für Italienische Verhältnisse reichhaltig und gut. Gerne zu empfehlen.

9.3

Nice hotel half way between the station and the lake (old town). On a busy road, but we were at the back. Family run and very friendly. In general, though, we did not like Lake Garda nearly as much as Lago Maggiore. South end of Garda is spoilt by tourism and definitely aimed at the 20 something who wants designer this and that.

9.8

The best accommodation we received throughout our stay in Italy. The manager is very welcoming and very helpful. I would consider going there again.

8.9

Hotel Giardinetto is nicely located. In the middle of the central station and the lake shore. Nice surroundings. The owners are gracious hostesses -mother and daughter. Nice view of the lake from some rooms. Nice bathroom, spacious and well appointed. Breakfast is served in a nice room, and there is an acceptable variety of choices. I recommend this hotel. It was an enjoyable experience.

8.8

Very friedly service, really appealing entrance. Nice rooms with high ceilings and baths with outside-windows. Good breakfast and cosy ambiente. There is a public veranda, where you can sit surrounded by green leaves and flowers. Only drawback is the location at a quite busy road. But if you keep the windows shut, it is ok.

9.2

A great hotel with friendly helpful staff. Ideal base for exploring the southern end of Lake Garda and Verona. Easily reached from the train station and just a 5 minute stroll to the lake. The room was very clean and spacious the only drawback being that it was a little dark so the lights had to be on a lot. I can recommend a visit Lake Garda and you will not be disappointed if you stay at the Giardinetto

8.1

Small quiet hotel within easy walking distance from old town and lake.

8.8

A small family hotel in a very central location. There was, as mentioned in some previous reviews, some traffic noise at night; this could easily be stopped by closing the window and shutter. The service was excellent and the breakfast provided each day was more than adequate with a good variety and choice of items. Sara, in particular, was very helpful as were all the staff. We would return to this hotel with confidence that we would have an enjoyable stay.

8.6

The hotel is just a 5-minutes walk from the historic town with many nice shops and restaurants, and a 5-minute walk from the Garda Lake and the train station with direct service to Verona, Venice and Milan. Staff was very friendly and all our needs were met. Prices in the bar are fair.

9.7

Extremely fiendly and helpful staff, unbeatable location. Easy access and walking diatance to the town centre, restaurants and beach.

9.8

Very nice hotel, clean, nicely decorated, all comforts, very nice breakfast, the staff very welcoming and helpful. They provided lots of helpful and smart advice on what to see, how to get there, etc...

7.4

Bon accueil, sympathique et efficace. l'hôtel est situé sur un carrefour passant et exige donc de dormir les fenêtres fermées. Mais la climatisation est là... Le petit déjeuner est très correct et les informations fournies par l'accueil nous a permis de trouver les bons lieux. Un hôtel de qualité, donc, à recommander.

9.4

We really enjoyed our stay here! The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, and the hotel was spotless and well-presented. Breakfast (cold buffet) was well-stocked and varied. The room (Rm 1) faced the front and did suffer somewhat from motorbike noise from the lights-controlled junction on the Sat night; ordinary car traffic did not disturb. Would definitely stay again and strongly recommend to anyone!

9.9

Staff was most welcoming and accomodating to your every need. Desk clerk made many suggestions of places to eat in the area. Probably only negative was that it was unseasonably warm when I visited (early May)and the hotel had not yet turned AC on. However, everything else more than made up for this. Very pleasant stay.

9.6

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It is very well located for people arriving by train. It is about half way between the train station and the town centre. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The room was of good quality and there was a good selection for breakfast. The price quoted for the room was also very competitive.

8.8

the friendliness of the owners, especially Sara. Her English was excellent and she was available to advise on places of interest and transport. The room we had was small but did offer a balcony and was very clean.

8.8

Our twin room was spacious, comfortably furnished and pleasant. The bathroom was also spacious and functional although no bath. Before we went it was hard to find an accurate map but the description of reasonable walking distance from the railway and the centre of the old town, port and shops was accurate. Situated on quite a busy corner, there was no noticeable traffic noise in the evening and the double glazed windows shut out sound. The continental breakfast buffet was very nice & generous and futher items,e.g.eggs were available if wanted. The hostess made every effort to ensure that we had a pleasant stay and we would certainly choose this hotel again.

8.7

Very nice Hotel, very clean, new towels every day, air-con in rooms. 10mins walk from Venice - Milan railway station. 10 mins walk from harbour front. It's on a main road which makes the Hotel easy to find although there is some traffic noise - it was not loud enough to bother us.

9.7

This was the first time we had stayed at Giardinetto & I would not hesitate to recommend it! We will definitely stay again. Its in a perfect location situated halfway between train station & town(& lake). Staff were fantastic & nothing was too much trouble for them.

8.0

We were very comfortable in this hotel and received friendly and helpful service. We were in Desenzano for a holiday and birthday celebration of a friend.

7.7

Sehr freundliches Personal, familiär geführt. Lage günstig Nähe Zentrum an einer Hauptverkehrsstr. durch diese Lärmbelästigung. Eigener, kostenloser Parkplatz. Frühstück für italienische Verhältnisse o.k.

7.1

Nice, clean hotel, nice room and bed,very helpful staff, close to train station and short walk from city center/waterfront. On a somewhat busy taffic circle, but not overly noisey.

8.5

Hotel came highly recommended from Venere and did not disappoint. Only negative comment would be due to the location being on a main road it was quite noisy during the day but quieter at night. Very central - 5 minutes walk from town centre and train station. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

9.8

Very friendly and welcoming hotel. Excellent position for both railway station and town centre.

8.6

The hotel was excellent and around 10 minutes walk to the lake. Room was good, breakfast was the best continental style breakfast we have come across, with plenty of choice. Staff were very helpful, with most speaking good English, although I think it does help to show willing and try to converse a little in Italian. All amenities in the town were to hand, but due to us holidaying in December; around half of the restaurants were closed. We did find a couple of good restaurants and I suppose if we had looked harder, we would have found more, but quite satisfied with the ones we visited. We would defiantly stop again, in the same hotel and would thoroughly recommend Hotel Giardinetto.

9.9

Clean and spacious rooms, a good location and excellent and well-informed staff. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to the Garda area

8.1

Overall very good, Staff are very helpfull and that made the stay more enjoyable. Location is good 5 minutes from the center of the town and the lake and surrounding towns were lovely. Overall excellent stay.

9.8

The family that own this hotel are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our weeks stay here, the hotel is very clean and the breakfasts are good, there is a bar service at night. The is some traffic noise but this is kept to a minimum with good double glazing.

9.7

This is an excellant location if you are travelling by train and have young children, you are only 500mtrs away from the hotel, and then 200mts away from the town. The staff are very helpful and gave us all the information we needed.

9.6

First week Aug family of 4, children 14 and 16 in a quad room. We stayed at this hotel we found it ideally situated midway between the town centre and railway station (less than 10mins walk either way). Very pleasant friendly helpful staff, hotel very clean,buffet breakfast - very good selection.The room we had was a little on the small side as was the the bathroom, but perfectly adequate.It is on a main road but as our room was to the side, noise was not a problem. Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the hotel, hassle free and very relaxing, particularly enjoyed watching the Italian traffic whilst having an ice cold beer on the front terrace, Thank you to the family and staff of the hotel for helping to make our holiday such a wonderful experience and hope to return soon.

8.2

Good location within easy walking distance of both the train station and the centre of the town. Even though the room did not face onto the main road, which the front of the hotel faces, the noise was noticeable with the room window open. This was however not a problem at night, with the window closed, as the air-conditioning was fine. The breakfast was good, at least by Italian standards, with a choice of cold meat, cheese, cereal, etc. It would however have been nice to have had a fridge in the room. The hotel staff also made useful suggestions regarding places to eat in the evening. Their suggestions for other places to visit on the lake were quite useful, though I think Garda village is very overrated. We would certainly use the hotel again.

7.9

Just a few minutes walk from the train station in Desenzano so it is perfectly positioned for those making their own travel arrangements. Receptionists both speak good English and offer information on activities and trips around the lake. Rooms are a good size and perfectly clean. The hotel is situated on the cross roads of two roads and is quite noisy during the day but by night it quietens down and I never had any trouble sleeping. Continental breakfast with choise of cereals and usual selection of bread, meats and cheese. We really enjoyed our stay here and I hope you do to.

9.7

There was a familiar and warm atmosphere spreaded especially by the very kind, flexible, uncomplicated and helpful hotel employees. The location of the hotel between station and centre Desenzano is quite practical if you want to make short trips to e.g. Verona or just walk down for dinner. Highly recommendable if you're not too sensitive concerning little traffic noise. Grazie per questi giorni belli!

9.2

Il personale è stato estremamente cordiale. Non è sul lago ma in 2 passi sei in centro (a 100mt comincia la zona pedonale) Discreta colazione Camera buona ma da sull'incrocio ed è quindi leggermente rumorosa

8.0

We were in Italy during a heat wave, so an efficient air conditioning system was greatly appreciated. The Hotel is in easy walking distance from the train station, and is also ideally situated for the town centre, and the amenities on the lake. The people who work at the hotel are very friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was very comfortable, and the whole hotel is kept very clean.

9.6

The welcome and helpfulness of the family and staff (in particular Sara) helped to make a very good holiday. We would certainly recommend this hotel to others.

7.3

The hotel was clean and the service was great. However, we were a bit disappointed with the location as we thought we would be able to see the lake easily from the hotel. The hotel is a short walk to the lake, but there are many other hotels actually on the lake. This hotel is close to the train station and a Chinese restaurant, but it is on a main road and a bit noisy. Some of the rooms have nice windows and balconies, but ours had a very tiny window near the ceiling. But it is a good deal for the price.

9.9

Would highly recommend this attractive 3 star hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Comfortable rooms, good breakfast and only a 5 minute walk to the lake. Looking forward to a return visit.

8.6

Really impressed with this hotel. Have stayed in in places a lot worse. The staff were extremely helpful. Great view of lake from room. Perfect. Would definately stay here again.

9.6

Ideal hotel bewteen station and town. Plus points handy location , very clean , nice rooms , family run and very helpful plus great breakfast only negative - traffic noise from road outside. But would reccomend especally if you are using the trains.

8.1

No MAP was available

8.1

Alles war sehr schön. Das Zimmer sauber. Sehr zentral gelegen. Kann mann weiter empfehlen.

9.9

Our stay at the Hotel Giardinetto was excellent. We chose this hotel because of other good reviews and were not disappointed. We have 2 kids 11 & 8 and a baby at 7 months and stayed in Quadruple. Even with the crib they provided free we had plenty of room. The Hotel is easy to find and had free parking. It is just a 5 minute walk from the hotel down to the lake and excellent shopping and dining. Breakfast and service was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with maps and advice. English was not a problem. An excellent place to stay and see Lago Garda or go to Gardeland Theme Park. We would stay there again.

9.9

WQe would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again. Very obliging and nice people.

10

Staff at Giardinetto were extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Hotel was located close to both the town centre and the train station in beautiful surroundings. Perfect for what we wanted.

9.1

Hotel was central to train station and town.The staff were extremly helpful in everyway.

8.5

We really enjoyed our stay in Desenzano, especially at the Giardinetto. The people there were very attentive and provided exemplary service without fussing. The hotel is ideally situated for both the lake and the train station and is very comfortable to stay in.

8.2

A pleasant hotel, conveniently situated a stone's through from the centre of Dezenzano Del Garda. Extremely friendly well run hotel, staff cannot be faulted. Rooms more business like than family run hotel, but it's certainly not something that was detrimental to our stay. It is on the main road that runs around the lake, but then so are the majority of the hotels, having said that, the traffic isn't that heavy, and again this wasn't a negative. Summing up, it's well located, easy to find and very well run, a place I'd recommend friends to stay at.

9.0

WE HAD A ONE NIGHT STAY BEFORE MOVING ON FURTHER NORTH UP THE LAKE TO COMPLETE OUR HOLIDAY THE ONE NIGHT STOP OVER WAS PERFECT AS WE WERE TRAVELLING FROM MILAN BY TRAIN AND THE HOTEL WAS ONLY A FEW METERS AWAY FROM THE STATION AND NOT TO FAR FROM THE CENTRE OF THE TOWN. THE ROOM, THE BATHROOM WAS ALSO PERFECT AND THE BREAKFAST WAS AMPLE. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN.

9.6

Perfect location for us, halfway from the train station, halfway to the lake. Lovely hotel. A little noise from street traffic with the windows open. Not an issue when they were closed.

8.7

We had a great stay in Hotel Giardinetto.

9.0

Hotel Giardinetto, A very pleasant hotel, the room was attractive and large enough. The bathroom was clean and attractive, although small. The breakfast was substantial and pleasant with attractive surroundings. Location was excellent - a short walk to the Lake. The only drawback was that the hotel is on a main street and one hears traffic noise at night.

8.2

we were there for one night, but it was very good.

9.1

for us it was splendid

7.6
