Hotel Nazionale - Desenzano del Garda

9.9

What a hotel, highly recommended. I booked it after reading other guests comments - Boy, am I glad we stayed there. My wife loved it (so did I)Very modern standard, great staff, fantastic breakfasts, lovely pool, close (5min walk) to the lake. Only down side, finding it late at night was difficult, once I had my bearings tho' it was fine - save car-parking underground. A fabulous week, and the price is a bargain. I'm usually fussy as to whether I'd recommend to friends etc - first recommendation this week.

We went to the hotel for one night and stayed eight because it was so good. The standard of the hotel is very high in every respect and the staff were genuinely helpful at all times. The swimming pool is excellent and maintained to a very high standard. We are very particular about hotel accommodation and this hotel ticked all the boxes for us. If I were to be critical it would be about the breakfast. Continental breakfast was excellent but the cooked breakfast was limited in quantity, certainly when taking a late breakfast. My family and I will definitely return to this hotel. The location of the hotel is perfect for Desenzano itself and a good base for travelling to all the surrounding Lake Garda areas.

We stayed at the hotel for eight nights and had a delightful time. We would highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay there again in2009.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel which deserves a rating higher than 3 stars. Our room was excellent with a large luxury bathroom and views across the busy road to the lake and distant mountains. Although we were on the road side of the hotel, the noise did not disturb us at all. Breakfast was outstanding and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. At first sight, the location did not look too appealing but a very short walk down the road opposite put you at the lake front and the centre of activity. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

We stayed in a junior suite - it was really nice to have a separate part of the room for our two children. Very clean, modern hotel, lovely breakfast in a very pleasant breakfast room, friendly staff (English speaking too!). Only slight downside was the location on a busy main road, but it was surprisingly quiet in the room we had (no noticeable traffic noise). It was very convenient for the railway station and only a few minutes walk from the lake and a children's playground. Would definitely recommend it as a convenient bas to explore the Lake.

perfect hotel and perfect service

What a wonderful hotel! The Nazionale is modern and clean, everything you would expect from a 'boutique' hotel. The room was spacious, clean and decorated in neutral colours and had a balcony overlooking the pool. The bathroom too was spacious and clean. The hotel is situated on a main road but the rooms with the pool view had no noise disturbance. A good location - only a 5 minute walk to the lovely town centre. We had some difficulty in finding the hotel from the directions given on the website but once we had found it, everything was forgotten. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and I would definately stay there again.

9.7

Forget the 3 star rating, the hotel should have a four star or four star plus rating. While located on a busy main road, access to Desenzano centre is a 5 minute walk.

8.8

The employees, service, and accommodations were excellent. Locating the hotel was very, very difficult. While it is located on a main road, the hotel sign is not "eye-catching" enough for someone who is looking for the hotel. I drove past it three times before I finally saw the sign. Recommend a different sign or a more obvious lighted sign on the hotel itself. All that being said, I do plan to stay at the Nazionale the next time I am in Desenzano.

Absolutely loved staying here. Feel priveledged as don't reckon it will stay at current price for long. Located just a few minutes walk into town and within walking distance of both port and train station. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice ambience about the place and pool was not too overcrowded.

My daughter married at Lake Orta and we wanted to continue the rest of our holiday at Lake Garda and fortunately for us we chose Hotel Nazionale. We were very impressed with the hotel - it was excellent throughout and will definitely go back there in the not too distant future and have recommended it to everyone we know who may visit the lake. The room was excellent as was the bathroom, very clean and modern. We also had a small balcony which was nice and although near the road, once the patio door was shut no noise could be heard at all. The location was also good as we were only 5 minutes from the main centre. The staff were also very nice, being very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Hotel Nazionale offers a much higher than expected standard of accomodation. We found it very comfortable and good value. Breakfasts were great and the staff were realy helpful and friendly throughout. The location is great as well. Just a couple of minutes and you are in the heart of Desanzano and, if you want, onto a boat across Lake Garda. I would have no hesitation in making a strong recommendation for this hotel.

This was the first time we had stayed at the Hotel Nazionale and we would use it again if we returned to Desenzano del Garda.It was our third holiday in Desenzano and this was the best hotel we have used.The hotel is ideally situated and offers a very high level of service. The swimming pool was a favourite spot for our teenage daughter.The breakfast provision was varied, excellent and provided for all tastes and diets. Well done all at the Nazionale.

9.3

We had the pleasure to stay for two nights in the hotel and what can I say: it's perfect. Two nights are definately too short and I willl caome back. It's brand new and has style. The pool is really inviting, the rooms are much bigger than I am used to in Italy and the city is very close.

8.8

very good destination

The hotel seems to have been renovated recently. Our room was so clean that I first thought we were the first guests to stay in it. The room was also very spacious. The swimming pool in the back of the hotel is surprisingly big too. The Nazionale easily matches some of the 4 star hotels I've stayed.

Superb hotel, specialy concerning price and the 3 stars. It is more a 4 to 5-stars hotel. Good breakfast with scrambled eggs and pancetta, you could choose capuccino instead of the usual coffee without extra charge. Nice design and decor. Bar with good wine that also served the ajacent pool. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the hotel in June 2007 when it was only 4 months old. It was very clean and the room was cleaned well every day. The staff were helpful although we did have trouble explaining that we wanted weaker coffee than they tend to make! The hotel is just a 5 minute walk to the shops and Lake Side which seemed just right. A ten minute walk down from station but not recommended back up with cases. Felt the hotel had the typical Italian laid back feel which is great on holiday. Would highly recommend.
