We've just had a lovely week in a very spacious room, 302, at the Gardesana. The hotel is spotlessly clean, there was a good choice of menu, especially desserts, staff were very helpful, and there is always someone close at hand who speaks English. We really enjoyed the pool after a long day on a coach tour, although 'bracing' is... More

Went with Travel Department for a romantic break with my wife on a cheap package deal for one week. Lovely lot of older but active tourists. For the money we paid this hotel was spot on. Room was clean and had a funny, slightly impractical layout but must have been repainted and the bathroom refurbished that season. I would move... More

We had a great holiday here with friends. The rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were friendly, polite and spoke good english. Food was good, hot, with a choice of 3 dishes per course (3 courses). We would definitely go back to this hotel. More
