We absolutely loved Hotel Grifone because of the view and the lapping water just outside our window. Get the room with the "terrace" (which is really just a full window..) You will see the castle walls on the right, see and hear the lake in front, and see the mountains and thermal areas of the lake on the left. We... more

Reall nice place, read some reviews on tripadvisor and decided to go with it, stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed our time here. Rooms were simple but clean and had a really nice view of the lake. Hotel is right in the centre of the old town and staff were more than helpful. Would recommend if you are not... more

A fantastic location with lake views. This was the first time in years that I'ved stayed in a 2 star hotel (normally being lucky enough to stay in 4-5 star hotels) and was pleasantly surprised with the Griffone. The room was sparse but very clean and with all the basics you need. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful -... more

With some trepidation after having read the reviews on this site my wife and I booked the Grifone for a couple of nights in May 2007. Leaving aside a wait of an hour or so for someone to greet us on arrival (there was nobody home) our stay was perfect - wonderful waterfront location, beautiful room, great views, tremendous meals... more

This was my 4th stay at the hotel and I have to say I enjoyed it as much as the first time. However I have to say that some of the comments from dissatisfied guests are to some extent justified. It is indeed a beautiful location. As I understand it the hotel and restaurant are managed by a brother and... more

The location of this hotel is very nice (as are many others hotels), being directly next to the Castle in the old town of Sirmione. As for the hotel and the staff- the front desk manager was incredibly rude throughout our entire stay; perhaps if she would have been more hospitible our experience might have been better or a least... more

Just returned from Italy including a two night stay at the Grifone. The hotel is well located next to the castle and has excellent views. The rooms are sparsely appointed. The hotel does not have air conditioning and consequently has a severe insect problem. During our stay we were instructed to close our windows between 6am and 8am so they... more

The rooms aren't so big. The woman in the front desk wasn't friendly! Its right on the shore of the lake - good location the hotel is in a good condition more

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel and it was delightful. Foe value for money it is simply the best. The rooms were clean and we had a beautiful view of the lake. Our friends came with us on the second visit and also fell in love with it, they are returning in 2006. I would certainly go again,... more
