Review 2:The staff are incredibly hospitable - professional, welcoming and genuine. The location is fantastic - walk straight out onto the boardwalk. The hotel itself is elegant and charming.
Review 3:A minor point and not one which spoiled the stay in any way, but the shower (and curtain) in the bathroom was not of the same standard as everything else about hotel.
Review 4:The ambience, the music genres chosen to suit the mood at different times of the day, the attentiveness, helpfulness and lovely personality of all the staff, the view from our lakeside balcony, location, the room size, parking facilities, pool, leisurely breakfast buffet, eating al fresco, dinner menu. Loved it!

Breakfast was a lovely start to each day. We ate in the restaurant on our first night and the food was beautiful. If you can manage it, ask for a lake view as it is stunning.

Review 80:Hotel has very good location, a bit away from the noisy centre, with the direct view to the lake. Room has all necessary facilites. There is nice pool in the hotel. Restaurant/bar has the terrace with the lake view. Especial thanks to all ladies at the reception who has helped to organize the surprise for my husband's birthday (boat trip at Garda) and recommended very good restaurants at the city.
Review 81:hotel restaurant 100km: price-performance-ratio was not satisfying (but: very good alternative restaurants in Salò available)
Review 82:wonderfull site at the lake and the promenade, delicious breakfast, good service
Review 83:The beds were very uncomfortable. Our room had very little storage space, just a small wardrobe. The restaurant did not serve any casual food.
Review 84:The staff were very friendly and helpful. The position of the hotel is excellent and by far the best in Salo. The pool was nice although in the shade from 4.30 at the latest.
Review 85:Smallish bathroom and bath/shower area
Review 86:Very friendly, knowledgable, courteous and efficient staff from Maitre'D to porter to receptionists. Perfect lakeside location. Excellent breakfast. Ample free car parking. Good size rooms for Italy. Turn down service with sweet goodies.
Review 87:The Bellerive is an excellent hotel ideally located on the lakeside walkway at one end of Salo. It is quiet yet 5 mins from the centre. The facilities are perfect for a luxurious break. A fantastic outdoor pool, beautiful reception and lobby with a beautiful private dining terrace and dining room. The restaurant looked fantastic with local specialities however a bit pricey however plenty of good restaurants nearby in the town.The bedroom was not huge however very comfortable and ours had a fantastic lake view with Juliette balcony which was perfect overlooking the Marina. I would recommend the extra for a lakeview room. Ensuite was a bit dated however everything worked perfectly and met our needs. Finally the staff. They were faultless. Very friendly and gave great attention and did everything so quickly. They never failed to greet you when you entered any part of the hotel and you got the feeling that nothing was too much bother to them. Very friendly.The Hotel even laid on complimentary Presecco and desserts on the evening of the Salo Firework display, real attention to detail. I would highly recommend this hotel to mature travellers who want a peaceful stay whilst top level facilities and service and in a perfect location in a beautiful lakeside town with stunning vies.
Review 88:Smokers (and cigar smokers in particular) in the outside areas. It'sa problem with Europe generally, than Hotel Bellerive specific. However,as breakfast is eaten outside, it would be good to have a smoking and anon-smoking side to the breakfast area. It would also be good to makemost of the poolside non-smoking (you could easily have the smokers inthe seats by the bar area).
Review 89:It is a lovely hotel. The staff are fantastic. The furniture and designof the hotel is great. The breakfast is very good as well. I can'tpraise it highly enough.
Review 90:Nothing.
Review 91:Fantastic location, we had a large suite with lake side balconies and a great view. Maid service was excellent. Breakfast buffet was comprehensive.
Review 92:The bathroom was very small. The level of cleanliness was not high. The arrangement of the room was awkward and it was difficult to access bathroom and wardrobe at the same time.There was no information on the working of the TV and the Internet was unreliable in the room. The price of the room, meals and drinks was excessive. The hotel boasted of home-made, fresh produce but when there was no brown bread what was brought out was still semi-frozen. We were not informed at any time that a cooked option was available and the restaurant service was at best patchy.
Review 93:It looked nice on arrival and the checking in was simple. The room was available early on request. The lake view was very nice.
Review 94:The bathroom in our apartment was a little tired. Breakfast is good, although not a la carte.
Review 95:Excellent customer service. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Superb views. 100Km restaurant serves very good food, although slightly expensive. The free use of the hotel bikes is a nice way of seeing the town.
Review 96:rooms slightly dated but rest of hotel modern. very clean however
Review 97:good location right on boardwalk. bikes free for use. very clean room with nice small balcony to sit out on. nice sitting areas outside and by pool.helpful friendly staff. turn down service
Review 98:The arty photos of bare-breasted women on the walls seemed a bit inappropriate and out of place. Apart from that It's difficult to find any fault with this hotel.
Review 99:Great location on lakeside with easy parking. Staff very helpful and good service. Comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Dinner in the retaurant was top quality, although the menu was a bit limited.
Review 100:Not enough storage in the rooms, ie hardly any drawers, so we had toleave things lying around which was not great.The bathroom suite was also very outdated. Also, the room could get very hot as the heating appeared to go on automatically whenever we left, even though it was not really cold enough outside to require heating.
Review 101:Great location, quiet, good restaurant, wonderful breakfast buffet, andvery helpful/friendly staff.
Review 102:Very limited area for sitting out in the sun - only really around the pool which was surrounded by greenery which attracted insects and led to bites etc.
Review 103:The service, the friendliness of the satff, the location and the breakfasts
Review 104:The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and in a great spot on the lake and within a short stroll of Salo itself - so perfectly located. I would definitely recommend the hotel to friends and family.
Review 105:Disappointed with the set-up of rooms. The room was probably large enough but poor use of space. Only 2 small drawers in cupboard and at a low level. Could not unpack our clothes completely. No mirror in bedroom and bare walls.
Review 106:The hotel staff were so nice. Every one we dealt with was so helpful and pleasant and did all they could to make our stay enjoyable. Location was very good we thought.
Review 107:Just returned from short break at the Bellerive. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. Hotel is well located for easy walk into Salo for its bars and restaurants via the promenade and has great views across the lake. Breakfast was a treat with, dinner was also excellent. Would I stay there again - definitely yes.
Review 108:The tiled floors do make it a bit noisy but only to be expected in this style of building.
Review 109:Extremely clean, great location on the lake side and good to have secure parking. Very friendly and helpful staff. Even gave me a tip where to get cheap petrol!
Review 110:No complaints

Review 112:The room furnishings seemed incomplete and not up to the quality of therest of the hotel. The air conditioning dropped the cold air right onthe bed and made it uncomfortable..
Review 113:The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the very much. Thelocation was excellent. Public spaces are beautiful.
Review 114:Other guests very fast putting towels on the pool lounges even thoughnot using them until later in the morning.Maybe a european thing?
Review 115:Service and facilities were world class 5 star , without being too bignice boutique atmosphere .Loved the art work around the public areas.Staff were very helpful.
Review 116:Great staff. Very helpful in every way including obtaining boarding passes for our flights. Beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Garda. Great food and service .Zero edge infinity pool. Free parking. Phone calls to US were 4-5 euros. Its a favorite site for small Italian Plastic Surgery meetings. Town of Salo is very nice as well.
Review 117:Our room on the 1st floor was quite noisy (even though we had requesteda quiet room) Balcony not cleaned during our 4night stay.
Review 118:Lovely pool. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Use of freecycles which were great for going to the far side of town. Goodbreakfasts served on a lovely terrace.
Review 119:The location of Bellerive on the lakeside is superb, away from traffic, on the 4k pedestrian walkway which is quiet in the evening. Dinner, although expensive, was much better than expected, so was well worth it. It was a special anniversary for us,and without our knowing it , they upgraded us to a suite. The staff seemed so happy and pleased to do this for us. The facility and rooms are beautiful, nice pool, very good breakfast buffet. Easy access free parking on site. Excellent service.
Review 120:The common parts seemed to have been recently refurbished and were verynice. The rooms, while big, could do with being refurbished as they area bit dated in comparison.
Review 121:This seemed to us to be the nicest hotel in Salo.
Review 122:Can't think of anything.
Review 123:The cheerful and attentive staff, at all times very helpful and professional - never officious.
