A very nice, friendly, family-run hotel with lovely swimming pool set in beautiful gardens, large rooms and large balconies. Situated in a quiet location but within 500 metres of the centre of Sirmione and a short walk to the Grotte di Catullo. Food is good and varied and mostly, but not exclusively, of the Italian variety. Air-conditioned during the hot... More

I can see that the switching off of air-conditioning in the hot summer months would be a serious problem, but we went in late September and so it was not an issue. That said, it is a pleasant little family run hotel. It very much caters to Italian visitors and for a week we were the only non-Italians in the... More

I recommend to stay away from this hotel. When I called the hotel to make a reservation I asked if they had A/C. They did NOT tell me that they switch it OFF from midnight to mid day - just when you need it for sleeping so at night it was 30 degrees in the room and impossible to sleep.... More

This Hotel has a good location on Sirmione. Read carefully the particulars of the Hotel as the aircondition switches off from mid-night to mid-day!! in the heat of August. The breakfast is dry with lots of flies and no fans either. The room smelt sweaty and not clean, Poor service , the bar has limited cold drinks and the small... More

a very clean reasonable 3 star hotel,decor a little dated,but if you want the ritz you should expect to pay ritz prices,no good for those wanting roast beef and yorkshire pudding, but if you want to mix with the italian people and experience proper italian cuisine this is perfect, we never had a bad meal in two weeks, and the...

After a delightful stay in Venice the 2nd week of our holiday was in the Hotel Desiree in Sirmione & all I can say in NEVER stay at this hotel. It looks ok when you walk into the dated reception, but when you take the extremely slow lift or the stairs to you room the true horror of this fleapit... More

We spent 10 nights here on our honeymoon. The location is fantastic. We had a room with a balcony over looking the lake which although was a little impersonal, it served its purpose. The hotel was full of mostly Italian Guests which was nice and the staff very helpful when needed. Rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable. The... More

We stayed at the beginning of July - and knowing the weather could be hot, checked with Inghams as to whether the air conditioning would be on 24 hours a day and were told yes. Just after midnight on night one I awoke to find no a/c, a stifling hot and airless room. At breakfast we were bluntly told that... More

We were booked into the Desiree for 4 nights at the end of our 11 night honeymoon in Lake Garda. Having spent 7 happy nights at Hotel Capri in Malcesine we were very disappointed with the Undesiree. Although clean the room was rather basic for a three star hotel, the decor was very drab early 70's look, no fridge in... More
