The location: The location was perfect, right next to the Lake and the pristine Alpine Range on the horizon! The castle, the town centre and the cable car service to Mount Baldo are all just about 5-15 minutes walk along a beautiful trail from the Hotel. The Room: We had a double room with balcony offering a spectacular view of... More

We stayed at this Hotel in June for a week. We have stayed in othe hotels around Garda and were quite impressed with this one. The position is perfect, right on the lakeside with an easy stroll into Malcesine. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the food, we thought was excellent with a good choice of courses at the...

Stayed here for one week in Sep 2011.Wonderful position close to the lake,easy to walk into Malcesine. Rooms are dated.We were given room 208 which was so small we had to be asked to be moved.There was only a single wardrobe,this was obviously a single room. Dinner was excellent,lots of choice.However deserts were dissapointing.Never had any authentic Italian deserts,no pannacotta/tiramisu.Ice... More

First time to Italy and Lake Garda. Chose this hotel to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and also my husband's birthday (same day). Hotel exceeded our expectations - especially the food at dinner - extensive wine list and not overly expensive. We had intended to have a special meal out to celebrate but after having checked out numerous restaurants we... More

I read the comments here before staying in this hotel and to a degree I can echo some of these. The room was smaller than we'd expected from a 4* hotel and we'd paid quite a bit extra (£362 for a week) for a small balcony. The room did not have all the facilties you might expect from a hotel...

The hotel overall was excellent and the staff very helpful. The location is brilliant for access to Malcesine and getting around the lake. The big problem was with the room we were allocated hence the title. The room was below ground level and had a window 6 feet high. The view from the window was at eye level with the... More

Travelled to the excelsior in July with my husband to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Almost didn't book the hotel after reading some of the reviews on this site; however very glad I decided to go with it, as the hotel is situated in the most wonderful position right on the edge of the lake, 10 mins very pleasant stroll...

Great hotel and a magical location. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were friendly and helpful the food was sensational and the accomodation was great. Malcesine is a lovelly town tucked away on the east side of the lake, Excelsior Bay has uninterupted views of the lake due to its waters edge location and onle a short flat walk... More

The hotel staff were very welcoming and we recognized faces from our previous visit, about 5 years ago? We had a very comfortable room at the front of the hotel overlooking the lake. The weather was kind to us, at times reaching 33 degrees. There was plenty of sunbeds on three different levels. The pool was beautiful, so private from... More
