    Perfect place to stay in Malcesine, Italy

    • Deluxe Junior Suite
    • Stayed 5 nights

    We loved everything but if there is one item I could change it would be putting a screen door on the sliding door so we could enjoy the lake air without worrying about a fly getting in the room. BUT sitting out on the patio made us forget about having no screen :)

    The hotel's advertising does not tell how great the Suite rooms really are. Great views, quite rooms, a breakfast buffet that is fit for for both the health conscience and the glutton. Very friendly staff and located on the edge of old town.

    Decent rooms, top location and the best breakfast on Lake Garda

    - The minbar in the room includes 2 bottles of water which are NOT complimentary. This was not made clear. It's standard in hotels to offer complimentary water so this was something that didn't sit right with me, and you should consider offering water as complimentary. - My room didn't include any kettle facilities to make tea/coffee, which is also standard in most hotels. Just a suggestion for you to look into to ensure a better experience for customers.

    - Property has the best location in Malcesine, right next to the castle. - Breakfast was amazing - you can make your own smoothies with fresh fruit, extensive selection and fresh produce. We were previously staying at the Grand Hotel Terme in Sirmione where the breakfast was somewhat disappointing. I can tell you for sure that the Hotel Castello breakfast is wayyyyyyyyy better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Room was decent. Balcony views were gorgeous. - Staff on check in were absolutely amazing, friendly and ready to answer every question.

    Driving to the hotel could be tricky, but the hotel was very helpful in notifying us prior to our trip.

    Located at the lake front, the hotel has a stunning view of Lake Garda. Breakfast was amazing.

    The breakfast buffet was the finest I've ever seen. The room (we got a small one) was designed very well and the lobby also so attractive that we enjoyed just sitting there with the lake view. Access for swimming was ideal and the overall stay just so comfortable that it felt fantastic to be there.

    All was perfect!

    The hotel occupies the coveted spot by the lake, just below the castle. Our gorgeous room had a chic bathroom, plus a balcony with a castle and lake view! Their breakfast went above and beyond. They not only had the usual breakfast items, they had many extras such as fresh honey, gormet deserts, a juice bar and someone making to order eggs / omelets. Oh, and don't forget to eat at their restaurant... not only for the lake view, the but for the fantastic food and wine! Finally, a big thanks to the staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They were so friendly and approachable, which makes all the difference!

    Smallish room for the price; floor-to-ceiling window between the bathroom and bedroom is weird. Even with the shade down, if your partner gets up in the night the light will shine in the bedroom.

    Staff was very helpful and friendly. Excellent location, and a truly awesome breakfast. Convenient parking, very quiet location with great view of castle and lake.
