Hotel Bardolino

We had been in Italy for over three weeks and decided to splurge. We booked a large room with a panoramic view at Hotel Bardolino, and was looking forward to sitting on the terrace and enjoying a panoramic view of the lake. Wow, what a shock, we were shown to a room and not only was there no terrace, there was only a small window with no view to speak of, definitely not the room we paid extra for based on the website description. The manager offered nothing except a room at one of their other locations, but because they call it a three star property, he charged us even more. We have stayed in 18 different places on this trip, paid far less, gotten far more, stayed in some remarkable and impeccable places and never paid $100.00 Euro. Very poor service and false advertising.

Free bike rentals and free breakfast buffet (which for being Italy was really good). Friendly staff, the bus stop was just outside the hotel and only 15 minutes walk into city center of Bardolino (along the lake all the way).

.The Hotel Bardolino offers a very pleasant stay, at reasonable cost. The breakfasts are very good with plenty of selection. The hotel is on a main road, but the traffic quietens down in the evening. There is a laundry nearby. The walk into Bardolino centre for supper is good exercise, and there is an excellent selection of eateries.
