Decided to stay at Hotel Excelsior Bay after seeing so many good reviews and we were very impressed! Lovely staff, clean/ pretty hotel and the location is amazing, right on the lake with a very short walk into Malcesine! Rooms are a little dated but that would be my only criticism!

We stayed at the Excelsior Bay Hotel in May for ten days and we found it an excellent Hotel. The position of the Hotel was perfect, right on the Lake side and in easy walking distance toTown Centre of Malcesine with lovely walks around the Lake. The cleaniness of the Hotel was spot on, the room was very nice, clean... More

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.

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
