For us it was relly great and memorable stay. Sirmione and Garda Lake itself are great in any weather and any time (we have been in November). Hotel location was convinient just 15 minutes walk from Sirmione, you can go by bus easily to Sirmione, Desenzano and Pischiera but you have to know really well bus circulation. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful they gave us all the neccessary information about it and other things also. Rooms and hotel itself were very clean and comfortable. Room is enogh big and warm split system help to heat it. Very nice view from balcony to autumn garden. Breakfast was the best in our 14 days travel in Italy. Really big choice: solmon fish, different types of cheese, salami, prosciotto, vegetable and fruites, eggs, fried mashrooms and some kinds of sandwiches, croissant and even donuts. All personal was very kind, there is a restaurant for lunch and dinner with nice choice of italian food and quite nice prices. Also personal there was very kind and friendly. In room you can find kettle so it was very useful for us because it is already cold time in November but we were luckky with the sun. And the biggest plus for us was free bicycles for any age. We took them and drive around to church, beach and then winneries nearby. Thanks to everyone for our great stay and holiday and also the smily housekeeping singnora. She made all our mornings happy.

Had a lovely 4 night stay in October. Good location if you don’t mind walking or cycling, bus. Great price and very good breakfast. A steady 50-55 min walk to the centre of Sermione. This walk takes in much of the lake and paths are very easy. We hired bikes on 2 days (free of charge) and found it brilliant and could be down in main Sermione in 20 mins. Cycle paths most of the way but do need to go on the roads to avoid pedestrians shouting at you on footpaths. We were a party of 3 and had 2 bedrooms and a massive corner balcony which was amazing with partial view of Lake. This hotel is perfect if you don’t want to be right in the centre and avoid the expensive hotels. There is a large supermarket around the corner and other cafes, restaurants bars within 10 min walk.

Unfortunately the pool and sunbathing area was closed time of our visit (12-16th Oct). To be fair we were aware of this but the weather was still warm (20/21) for us Brits and we would have liked the chance to relax around the pool. Couple of the male staff at breakfast were quite rude/unhelpful. However Two women seemed in charge and were very very efficient and friendly. As were all reception staff who spoke very good English and so helpful.

Superb breakfast. The room was super clean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel has a huge pool which we didn't use because it was December. We could ride bikes that took us from the Hotel to Sirmione and back, for free. Very helpful because for someone who arrives by public transport, the town is an hour's walk away.

On our departure, we were informed that the buses don't stop unless by request on the inside, so we had to walk an hour to get to Sirmione and catch the bus when the bus stop was nearly at the Hotel door. So it might be super convenient for a short drive into town, but not for someone who arrives by bus.

Very clean and well maintained. The staff were mostly nice and helpful. The restaurant is very good and the pool area is very clean, we enjoyed it a lot! Very good value for money! Our daughter enjoyed the pool so much! The breakfast waitresses are so sweet, the choice of food is good for the money.

The hotel itself is very good I would recommend it definitely! However for the location, the shuttle stop to Sirmione is not too close, we didn't have a car and it was tyring to walk to the shuttle bus that gets to sirmione. The other bus stop (26) is very close but the bus comes only every one hour and has delays so it's not reliable. For families a car is recommended for this area.

Perfect little hote close to amenities. The lake meters away. The cleaning staff were extremely friendly and the receptionists did all they could to accommodate our requests. We loved the hotel location, which is perfect for day trips around the lake. The food in the restaurant - evenings was exceptionally tasty and good value. We loved the fish dishes and pizza! In the room toiletries teas and coffee replenished every day.

The bed was much too hard for our liking. It kept us awake at night. The breakfast - plenty of choice but not replenished and we had two days when the run out of croissants a d chocolate. The hot breakfast was dried out in the containers. The staff had issues with understanding English simple coffee order repeatedly. I tried to use Italian words but still mistakes in what arrived. Might be an issue if one I'd allergic to dairy or cannot drink caffeinated coffee.

The service was great, we were staying in the hotel for something like 7 days which were awesome thanks to the hotel stuff and thanks to the hotel's restaurant which has large rabge of dishes which every time we visited it we chose differently and every time we were surprised by how good it is! Regarding the hotel, the beds are very wide, and ours room came with a third bed for a child. The bathroom (same as the rest of the room) was very clean. We'll 100% next time come back to this hotel when visiting in the area.

If I'm being honest, I couldn't think of any problems that we were having, but maybe only one, when we woke up a little late, the breakfast did not have all its meals when it was close to closing (the breakfast was ending in about 10 a.m. and at 9:30 some meals were not available anymore)

Everything was well organised and clean. The free bike rental is the best way to get to know sirmione. The hotel restaurant is very good both in quality and value.The room was perfect with a very comfortable bed. The staff was always very nice and accessible. Excellent value for money.

The staff was exceptionally professional. We got all the info we needed at the front desk on arrival. Parking is free and right in front of the main entrance. Breakfast was also excellent.

Looks like there have been some small reparations in the room like they changed light switches but didn't pay too much attention to details. But these are barely noticeable. Overall room was spotless and beds are really comfy.

Staff were excellent. Very friendly and attentive. The food in the hotel restaurant was very good. Free bicycle hire was excellent and we enjoyed a day cycling along the lake area to Peschiera del Garda. Our room had a lake view which was amazing to sit and relax on the balcony.

The safe in the room was broken on arrival and was not fixed during the five night stay. This would be a problem for some people.

Hotel Riel provided me with a delightful stay. I thoroughly enjoyed renting a bike from them and embarking on a beautiful cycling adventure. While the pool was closed due to the spring season, the staff's helpfulness and the overall cleanliness of the hotel compensated for it. The location was convenient, and the room was comfortable. I recommend Hotel Riel for a pleasant stay in the area and will most likely come back one day.
