don't take a room facing the road, iit's really hot and stuffy but t's too noisy to open the window! more

This hotel is 20 mins from the square and is located in front of the savoy. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Furniture is quite old and inadequate to store clothes, tv is rather old about 14" with one english station. Fan available at €2 per day as hotel does not have air conditioning. Food acceptable not exciting. There was... more

Stayed at this hotel with Italian Getaways. Having read previous reviews and response from hotel it is clear that contract with Italian Getaways is the cause of very basic breakfast menu. However some small things would improve rooms - a mirror in bedroom, another electric plug so that bathroom one is not used for shaver, phone charger, hairdryer and kettle,... more

Before going I'd read the mixed reviews on this site, but for us the good things definitely outweigh any shortcomings. Despite being one of the cheaper options from Italian Getaways, the family owners were really friendly, the rooms were clean, the food was good, and the central location was convenient. We didn't mind the fact that rooms don't have a... more

Hotel Gardesana was a indoor adventure pursuit in itself. We stayed there through Italian Getaways and would highly advise ppl to make some notes: 1. For the elderly or slightly unfit...Make sure you are on the first floor. Any higher then you'll regret it from the very begining. 2. TAKE A FAN!!!. The hotel charges 2 euros for a pathetic... more

Our two children (aged 2 and 6 years) loved the holiday. We were slightly concerned that the hotel did not have a swimming... more

We have just returned from booking a week's holiday with Italian Getaways to Malcesine, Lake Garda, which I must say was marred by staying at the Hotel Gardesana. A very basic hotel, no ceiling fan or air con. the bed linen and towels were not changed in the 7 days that we were there. The floors in the bedroom and... more

This is my second time I have stayed at the hotel, and once again loved it. Although it is basic, it is clean and tidy and the family who run the hotel are very friendly. It's in a great location, only minutes away from the town. The town is one of the prettiest towns on the lake with little lanes,... more

Just back from another fantastic stay at the Hotel Gardensana in Malcesine. We travelled with Italian Getaways for an amazing price especially as it was half-term week. We love Malcesine it really is an amazing little town,probably the nicest on Lake Garda.The Hotel Gardensana is a lovely place to stay, fantastic location right in the centre of town just minutes... more
