Malcesine Aril River Hotels

"Everything was good, and the staff was very helpful when asked. The one surprising fault was that the coffee from the machines during breakfast was really bad. It's ground fresh, but the milk substitute tastes terrible. Truly the worst I've had in Italy so far. I've had very good coffee from machines in other countries in Europe."

"An excellent , well equipt apartment. THe host was always available and very responsive. The bicycles are a huge plus as we used them daily. Being able to park our car was also very helpful. "

"Front desk staff on Sept 17 and 18 were amazing!! So professional, sweet and kind. "

"Absolutely marvellous and friendly staff, the single room was comfortable, clean and quiet, If starting to look a little dated. shower always had hot water and great pressure. The terrace was nice to sit and relax with a view of the garden through mine was shared with other guests. Easy beautiful 10 minutes walk along the lake into the village. Breakfast was perfect for me though others may like a few more options. Good value for what I paid. Would happily stay again."

"My husband and I stayed 12 nights in August and it was perfect. Our room was in a classic style, spacious and looked directly out onto the beautiful lake with a large window and also had a separate balcony looking at the lake and garden. The bed was also comfortable and spacious. The bathroom looked modern and new and the shower was good and strong. The buffet breakfast every morning was lovely and had a good variety of options. The grounds of the hotel are amazing - beautiful garden feel with some art structures dotted around. We spent a lot of time at the pool (basically 10am to 6pm) as it was so beautiful and relaxing. The views of the lake and the mountains surrounding Lake Garda are truly spectacular. The service at the pool where you can get drinks and food was excellent. Antonio who works at the pool bar deserves a special mention - always a friendly face and very very efficient, and made me a delicious non-alcoholic juice cocktail off-menu - his own initiative and creation. The walk into Malcesine is really beautiful once you get to the lakeside promenade. The first part is on the main road but that section is very short. In total the walk is probably 20/25 minutes to the centre of Malcesine. Checking in and out was also seamless. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will definitely be back."

"This is a 3 star property at most. Beautiful surroundings and nice beds. However, we started off on the wrong foot with the manager being fairly dismissive about us being unhappy with the room. There are to premium rooms that are amazing, those are the ones photographed and places on the website as the Deluxe option. We were given a room half the size with an AC unit beaming out hot air on a tiny balcony. Eventually, after us calmly explaining why the room wasn’t what we expected and didn’t feel safe with a crawling baby, the manager eventually gave in and moved us to the room pictured on the website. Later we found out that people who paid for superior were placed in the other deluxe with massive eterrace. Good for them, but strange why the manager was adamant we were in the right room from the start. Other staff lovely, gym room too hot but well equipped, not enough sunbeds but the lake is across the road. "

"Fabulous hotel. I would definitely stay again. Great location, very professional and friendly staff. Superb breakfast, lovely pool area. Entire hotel is spotlessly clean too. "

"Perfect location on Lake Garda! The access to the cute tiny harbor across the street, the corner store for necessities, no crowds, great access to swimming, great ‘sports center’ for renting bikes just 3 minutes north, overall excellent! The apartment itself was so spacious, surprisingly so, with a/c in all the rooms, yay! Made dinner and had everything needed, sat on the lovely patio. Go up the hill to Taverna Kuz for a fancy dinner one night:) Enjoy! "
