The reception person did not speak any English, and the room had funny smell.

Accoglienza ottima anche fuori orario check-in. Cordiali, disponibili, gentili. La struttura è chiaramente vecchia ma pulita. Lenzuola e asciugamani puliti. E per chi sarà fortunato come noi ... vista spettacolare sul lago! Unica nota negativa è il ristorante sotto l'albergo, quindi rumore e odori di cucina. A noi però non ha dato nessun fastidio, nulla di diverso da un albergo in riviera. ##### Luisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Paronitti 26 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paronitti Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 17 Sept 2020 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pozzolengo-Hotels-Chervo-Golf-Hotel-Spa-Resort-San-Vigilio.h3131649.Hotel-Information) > > [A-ROSA Gardasee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salo-Hotels-A-ROSA-Gardasee.h71677516.Hotel-Information) > > [EALA My Lakeside Dream – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-EALA.h39336031.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Menaggio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menaggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Menaggio.h1561524.Hotel-Information) > > [Winter Garden Hotel - Bergamo Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bergamo-Hotels-Winter-Garden-Hotel-Bergamo-Airport.h2867338.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Gardone Riviera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Gardone-Riviera.h15589.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Como City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Como-Hotels-BB-Hotel-Como-City-Center.h9354.Hotel-Information) > > [The Orange Spot.
