I arrived back 2 days ago after a stay at the Excelsior Bay. Fantastic experience. After booking the holiday I was worried as to type of room I would be given. The only other solo review was not so good but I was given a room on second floor with twin single beds, walk in wardrobe with interior light and... More

Let me caveat any criticism by saying our travel providers probably messed up sending us to this hotel. We are late twenties and doing a tour of Italy for our honeymoon and spending three nights in Lake Garda on an early part of the trip this seemed a good option from the brochures. Yes the rooms are clean, some good... More

We had our wedding reception here a couple of years ago. The food was amazing and we are still talking about it now - especially the black mash and the apple vodka sorbet! Perfect location and perfect food

If you are looking for an excellent location with good accomadation and food around Lake Garda, this is the place for you. Hotel is in a wonderful location right on the lakeside, with a paved walk way to both the town and the lake.Food is good and well presented and the staff helpful and cheerful.Lakeside rooms are particularly bright but...

Best position, food average, rooms ok and very clean, swimming pool excellent. All in all a good hotel with good service and very pleasant staff. Nearly all English guests and nearly all over the age of sixty felt a bit like a saga hotel, if you are younger I don't think it is the hotel for you. I had a... More

I think the hotel has had a fair rating from everyone here. The staff are very approachable and the food ranged from very good to average. I liked the omelette bar at breakfast. Avoid the salad bar, very boring and and bland. It didn't change all week. Rooms are very clean. The hotel is in a great position. Exit, walk... More

This is the second time we have stayed here and we were not disappointed. The rooms are more than adequate ( we did not book a lake view. ) The restaurant and bar staff are polite and attentive and even fun once they get to know you. The views from dinnng room, terrace and pool area are superb as you... More

The location of the hotel and quality of their staff made this an excellent holiday for us. The hotel is located on the Lake Garda shoreline and breakfast was taken outside looking across the lake to the mountains on the other side. We booked a standard room which was a little tired looking and had no real view from the... More

Because of its hillside position the hotel is accessed from the road by a locked door and lift or stairs down to reception. We struggled with the intercom for the door but were helped by a very pleasant man (who turned out to be one of the hotel waiters), who came from his car to help. That set the tone... More
