We will stay here again

Very nice hotel right next to Lake Garda with an amazing garden, where you can get your breakfast and dinner (including live music on certain days), and an big pool, which is ideal for swimming some laps. Another big benefit of this hotel is the location. It is away from any big street, so it is rather quiet. And you can walk easily in 20 minutes to Bardolino city center or Garda city center. The walkway is only for bikes and pedestrians, so you do not have to worry about any cars. We really enjoyed our stay and we are planning on staying here again.

Very good attentive staff. Hotel rooms were "ok". Bathroom set up for more elderly guests which was not great. Decor is very dated and could do with a complete renovation. Location is superb though. Right on the lake and a 20 minute walk to either Garda or Bardolino for a massive choice of restaurants. Food in the hotel not great. On a rainy night we decided to try their "Special Dinner" A total rip off at 45 euros a head for a buffet which was average at best. Dessert was a choice of one..."special cake". Breakfast was just ok but no variation on a day to day basis so got a bit boring after a two week stay.

Myself and my son have thoroughly enjoyed a five night stay at the hotel. Situated in a picturesque part of the lake it is quiet amd safe. We took advantage of the bike hire on most days cycling to garda, bardolino and cisano. It is a fair walk to bardolino or garda but a gorgeous walk nonetheless. The hotel has its own beach which we managed to get sunbeds when we required them. We loved hiring the paddle boards and kayak but they are like gold dust and unfortunately there only seems to be one of each so we werent able to complete activities together which was a shame. I feel more should be available as my son was disappointed on a couple of occasions to not be able to use them. However this didnt ruin the stay would be better if more were available or reservarions in place. Staff at the hotel were wonderful and couldnt do enough to help. Always very pleasant and courteous. Breakfast was fabulous - a wide range of food and drink available, we didnt use the restaurant at other times. We found the bus stop at the top fantastic plus the local beach bars were very handy - takeaways pizzas were fabulous on a night we were too tired. Only downside was the lack of balconies or a little outside space. Only a few rooms seem to have that available. Overall a fabulous stay and definitely wont be the last visit to the stunning lake garda and hotel sportsman. Thank you

Med tanke på pris och klassen på hotellet borde sängarna och kuddarna varit bättre. Hårda sängar och obekväma kuddar. Mycket bra skick men börjar kanske bli lite föråldrat.

Excellent sejour !!!

L accueil a l arrivée a été tres complet. En 10mn on savait tout ! C etait chaleureux. Les lieux sont magnifiques. La soirée avec le repas brochette fût très agréable. La directrice etait tres présente et attentive aux clients. L emplacement de l hotel est idéalement situé entre Bardolino et Garda : à 10 à 15 mn de chaque ville, à pied, en bord de lac. Verone est à visiter ainsi que Lazize à ne pas manquer. Nous y avons passé trois nuits et nous le recommandons chaudement. Nous y reviendrons, c est certain.
