Reviews for Palace Hotel

Review 1:Ideally you do need a car if staying at the Palace as it is a fair walk to the town centre.

Review 2:A very nice modern hotel with attentive staff and excellent catering.We would certainly stay there again all being well in the future.The roof top pool is great with stunning views of Lake Garda and the surrounding area

Review 3:A superb location for exploring the lake. Close to two lovely towns. We rode to Sirmione by bicycle. The spa facilities were modern, spotlessly clean and wonderfully relaxing. The staff are helpful and friendly, it is clean and the room layouts have been thought out well. Plenty of tasty choices for breakfast and easy parking.

Review 4:Location is not directly by the lake. Its a long walk from hotel to the central part of Sirmione. More variety of food in breakfasts needed.

Review 5:Beautiful hotel with nice pools and saunas. The staff is very nice and helpful, suggested good restaurants for dinners in town.

Review 6:Unless you have a car, it is a long walk back from Desenzano particularly at the weekends when there is limited bus service from the port area. The lack of restaurant facilities in the evening should be a key consideration when making a booking.

Review 7:Great hotel, great staff, good view of the lake from our balcony. Would probably be a 5 star hotel if the restaurant operated in the evening.

Review 8:A heated pool could be nice, but that's a minor issue.

Review 9:Two pools, great view from the generous balcony, so many facilities and well maintained by Italian standards.

Review 10:hot tub is missing in the spa center but its for free Slow wifi

Review 11:Nice swimming pools , staff and impressive gardens Free spa Away from noisy and crowded sirmione

Review 12:The employees in the reception were friendly, professional and very serviceminded. One of them booket a table for us at a top restaurant in Sirmione in less that five minutes late in the evening just after we arrived the hotel.

Review 13:Wifi signal in room could have been stronger. Dinner option in hotel would have been option although there is an abundance of choice outwith.

Review 14:Location , friendliness of staff, cleanliness of hotel, beautiful pools, loads of loungers.

Review 15:nothing we didn't like

Review 16:excellent breakfast, very clean hotel, efficient staff, good facilities, good central location for Sirmione and Desenzano. Free shuttle to Sirmione and Desenzano worked very well for us.

Review 17:Bed a little on the firm side for us.

Review 18:Excellent location and friendly staff combined with a lovely breakfast choice and relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay.

Review 19:We asked for a balcony and view of the lake but this was not provided. We were over charged for our stay and the spa charges were very expensive

Review 20:Very comfortable clean hotel , friendly staff and excellent facilities

Review 21:The wlan was regularly over-used, and most of the time impossible toget online. As we spent quite some time at the hotel itself, this wayquite a shame.Within walking distance there are only two restaurants close by, and no convencience store. This was not a huge issue, just something to be aware of.

Review 22:Nice swimming pools, one at ground floor, and one at rooftop (greatfor sunset).Good room, wih large balcony. Good cleaning of the rooms. The staff was overall extremely helpful and friendly, which really made an extra positive impact on the whole experience. Definitely would go back again.

Review 23:Shuttle bus only ran from hotel to Desenzano or Sermione once in the morning and once in the evening, could be improved as Desenzano town centre too far to walk (5km) No local maps available at hotel.

Review 24:Staff friendly and helpful, stunning views of the lake and mountains.

Review 25:Local area is pretty much dead. For anything lively we had to go to Sirmione

Review 26:The whole experience was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff when we arrived and throughout our stay. Rooftop pool is a must to go in and breakfast was very good.

Review 27:Would have been nice to have tea/coffee facilities in the room but I'm being picky.

Review 28:Cleanliness, staff, room, pool, simplicity, breakfast, bar area and terrace, tv in room, bath + shower, safe in room, free parking both outdoors and in the underground garage.

Review 29:Challenged about not signing for drinks when we had. When the bar manager checked and realised we had signed there was no apology. On another occasion it felt like we were being told off for not making prior arrangements for the courtesy bus when we had. When we pointed out we had pre booked and the other receptionist confirmed there was no apology offered.

Review 30:Pool

Review 31:We ended up getting taxis to Sermione more often than expected as there was not a huge choice of restaurants near by

Review 32:The hotel and staff were absolutely perfect. Staff on hand at all times to help us with with local information.

Review 33:Location is awkward as taxis are extremely unreliable and buses tended to run very late to their timetable . We nearly got stranded in Desenzano one night because of this Hotel runs a shuttle but it is only small, is one way and must be booked in advance (only a couple of runs per day too). Breakfast choices became a little boring after a week of the same Hotel room needed some redecoration as plaster was falling off and soundproofing was poor (bed shook when other room doors closed).

Review 34:Peaceful hotel with good facilities. Nice outdoor pool with friendly bar. Helpful staff, some with excellent English

Review 35:My impression from the website was that the lake view rooms would be closer to the actual lake. Breakfast choice was low quality and limited for the price paid. Room was nothing special expected more for the cost of room, not possible to go for local walk lakeside as all built up.

Review 36:Liked the balcony outside room, very useful as sharing the room with our baby for when baby was asleep in evening.

Review 37:Bathroom - very poorly designed Top floor swimming pool is really lacking a bar, plants, shade etc .... The vue is ok but not breathtaking.

Review 38:Location Bedroom Ground floor swimming pool Staff Bar Breakfast Wellness centre is very good

Review 39:The hotel did not open the restaurant for dinner. Whilst there were a few places to walk to, we invariably chose to go out again by car.

Review 40:The hotel was extremely clean and well appointed. The gardens and pool were very pleasant. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Bar food was good and well priced.

Review 41:The wi-fi reception in the room was very poor.

Review 42:Location is very good for exploration the Garda lake surroundings. Close to Sirmione and many wineries. Staff helpful and friendly. Bike rent. Excellent breakfest.

Review 43:The staff members were a bit rude and not helpful at all giving not any information when we checked in. I should've asked them about WiFi, use of SPA, POOL, and on and on if I needed any info about the hotel. In my experience, most hotels gave me some information about their hotel during the Check-in. And the WiFi was very weak. And the pool.. was just freezing!! My kid couldn't do anything although she was fully dressed in swim suits. I know many other hotels w SPA and pool provide guests w warm water, clean towels and bottled water at even lower price than this hotel! And this hotel didn't provide anything of them. Last but not least, I had to keep removing bugs several times at our room. Regarding the price, this hotel was terrible. The worst indeed among other hotels I've been stayed in Italy.

Review 44:The only thing I liked about this hotel was the steam shower booth and good taste of coffee at the breakfast.

Review 45:- Great views to the lake; - easy to access the hotel and Sirmione town; - wi-fi and hotels stuff was extremely nice and helpful; - nice spa and good breakfast

Review 46:The wifi didnt work at all in our room.. next time maybe the guests from foreign countries who need the wifi more should be put in a room with better connection. ,

Review 47:If you travel with pets please note that hotel charges 12 EUR/per pet/per day. I think this is a bit excessive, especially since we have 2 dogs. We managed to communicate with hotel trough booking and resolve this issue (negotiate the price), for which I thank the hotel as well as booking. TV remotes are a bit fiddly and one needs to follow instructions.

Review 48:This is a very nice hotel on a good location between Desenzano and Sirmione. Rooms were very clean with nice large balcony. Bad was good and firm. Nice clean bathroom. Staff was accomodating and helpful, managed to secure help when we locked our keys into our car (on Sunday:-) Breakfast had a good selection of food and presentation was nice too. Didn't manage to try the SPA though. Allover a pleasant stay.

Review 49:No water heater in the room but u can order it from receptio. Swimming pool heating system was not functional and wi fi was very weak

Review 50:Nice room with a good view and location

Review 51:Paying for parking when there is a free public carpark with a gateway into the hotel Some of the staffs attitude was a little dry Wifi did not work at all on any of the devices we took, not even in the lobby or bar

Review 52:Cleanliness Outdoor pool Rooftop pool Breakfast has lots of options

Review 53:WiFi was very poor in our room. The location is ok'ish, but only if you have a car (it's in between the centres of the two villages, sirmione is a 1-hour walk). This part of the lake is very touristy and busy. During weekdays the Spa is only open in the afternoon. The atmosphere in the bar is not very nice (ie you rather go out for a drink)

Review 54:Fresh orange juice at breakfast, rental bikes, swimming pools, large rooms, Nice and friendly staff, parking facilities

Review 55:We didn't hire a car & relied mostly on public transport which was a very bad service for high season - hire a car if going here or pay for taxis!

Review 56:Great hotel in a fab location. Brilliant breakfast.

Review 57:Hotel lies just off a busy road which can slightly annoying but I wouldn't hesitate to return to this hotel again

Review 105:Booked a room for 4 adults and got a room for 2 adults and2children which consisted of a double bed and two small camp beds. it took 4 attempts with staff to change rooms as they kept telling us that the hotel was fully booked .The family room cost was 885.0euros and the two double rooms were a total of 700 they would not give us back the difference .they blamed booking.com for the cost of the room. Would not stay there again

Review 109:Nothing. Iliked it all.

Review 110:Excellent Hotel. Quiet and very very clean. Staff was very becoming and helpful with reccomentations and directions. a bit on the expensive side but worth the expense. Huge breakfast buffet and helpul staf. Fast check in. would definately stay there again.

Review 111:Hotel recommends that you sleep with the balcony door closed - I would have preferred to sleep with my door open for some fresh air - Is it really so "unsafe" to sleep with the door open. Maybe at night they should then Close the main gates?

Review 112:Good Location Nice breakfast Spa area not very big but comfortable Friendly helpful staff Car park underground

Review 115:loved everything

Review 116:lovely big room with everything you need.Excellent breakfast,and friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is super modern,we loved our stay,and the pool area is superb

Review 117:No tea or coffee making facilities in rooms. Pillows were poor quality seemd to be made of thin pieces of foam rubber leading to uncomfortable nights sleep. Rooms are noisy and can hear through the walls. The hotel was clean and has excellent facilities but the rooms do not fit a four star billing.

Review 118:location is good only for car-travellers, we have to pay for rent bicycle ( in another hotels it is free of charge)

Review 119:facilities, comfort, swimming pool, breakfast

Review 120:We arrived at 21:30 & no one was there to help with our luggage. It should be 24 hrs service available especially at the 4* hotel. The reception who worked that night was infriendly & had "cant be bothered" & lazy attitude. When we asked for someone to help with our luggage, she just pointed the trolley in the corner & we had to help ourselves. She was the only person in the reception. You dont expect this kind of service at 4* hotel. Breakfast was ok but the service was terrible. The stuff were all miserable, seems to me they are not happy to work there and imposed their frustation & anger to the customers.

Review 121:The spa.

Review 122:Parking situation was confusing. We had no trouble parking in public lot basically on hotel property,but dont count on that during peak season. There were very few people on site when we stayed and the public lot is vert small. Get reservation for hotel proprietary underground parking during peak season. Staff at the desk wasn't super accommodating our willing to answer some basic questions. Minimal language barrier didn't seem to be the reason, so not sure what to make of that. Not a big deal as we didn't really need a lot of help.

Review 123:We found a great deal right before the busy season. Beautiful hotel. Great location on busy intersection but well removed from tourist saturation. We had a lovely view of the lake. Really enjoyed our stay.

Review 124:there is a need for a tea /coffee tray in the room- also a guest computer to use and printing facilities

Review 125:friendly and helpful staff- peaceful hotel with good sized rooms and views. breakfasts quite adequate.

Review 126:We've got updated for the room and discount for the restaurant. It was a wonderful stay. And they provide wonderful breakfast too. Really nothing to criticize. You will see the amazing lake view just on the terrace

Review 127:mattress very hard - got used to it after several nights! Staff at breakfast openly bickering with each other every morning No facility for evening meal in hotel No access to internet terminal (although wi-fi if you have own equipment) Address does not reflect location 40-45 mins walk in to Desenzano, and wrong side of main road to lake side (lake view from top floor, but restricted) Due to location and no evening catering in hotel - evening options severely limited without transport.

Review 128:Very clean and well furnished. Spa/ relaxation area lovely Breakfast food was excellent Reception staff helpful and friendly Great timing of room cleaning/ maid service

Review 129:The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with questions and needs. Location of hotel was perfect for business purpose and shops and eateries were close by. Room was very modern and clean. Would recommend hotel to anyone.
