The Riel Hotel was amazing. It is modern, spacious rooms with balconies, friendly staff, amazing breakfast each morning, and 10min walk to the castle. They have plenty of free bicycles you can use and we cycled to the castle all along the lake's edge. Beautiful!

Clean and basic

Area has problems with gnats and we had gnats in our room. The restaurant service for dinner was not good. The property overall was a bit dated, but clean.

Dinner was good on first night, not so much on second night. Breakfast was excellent on first morning but not as good on second morning. At 6am you could hear people talking and coughing which woke me up early, also i woke up cold just before 6am. Soundproofing is needed in rooms and heat should come on around 5am to prevent a cold room.

5 nights at Lake Garda

Its a great location, not far from the lake front and several nice restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, its possible to walk to the historical centre of Sirmone which we did but the hotel also offers free bike hire! Rooms are spacious, modern and really clean, pool is a nice size for the hotel and never felt overly crowded. The free breakfast was a nice offer and food was nice but we didn't eat there every morning, it didn't appear to be replenished so best to go around 9 or before. All the staff were very friendly and the pizzas at the restaurant were the best we had in the area! The only slightly off putting thing was having to walk through the restaurant and in between diners to exit and enter but that's minor! It would have been nice to have a side entrance for hotel guests. The hotel is very close to a large supermarket and also on the bus route for the main bus to Verona and to go around the south of the lake which was handy! Overall a really nice stay!

We didn't get the room we booked. There was a problem with the shower and the airco. Both were leaking. Eventually we got a new room with seaview and a gift card for the restaurant. We appreciated it. Good pool and good parking.

Super Personal, Preis und erwartbare Leistung waren auf den Punkt. Etwas Renovierungsstau, für jemanden der primär Urlaub machen möchte und den See erkundet, ist es zu vernachlässigen. Etwas hellhörig, Pool sah in Ordnung aus. Haben wir nicht getestet.

Good value for money but a bit noisy

Good location and good size room. Breakfast is good if you like pastries and sweet things, you also can order a nice coffee like cappuccino or macchiato. There is eggs, bacon, bread etc and it’s good enough but would not say amazing. The staff is friendly. The thing that did bother us was that you hear absolutely everything through the walls in the room. Also, every time another guest closed their door our door would shake and it felt almost like they would come inside our room. Other than that we were happy with our stay and it is good value for money.
