There was nothing that I did not like. However, I felt that during the season the breakfast dining area could have become a quality restaurant.

Breakfast was self service in a a large dining area linked to a terrace surrounding the pool. An extensive range of foods from sweat to savoury. Coffee was made to order which was excellent. Various newspapers were readily available and for those still partying from the previous evening or celebrating a birthday the Francha Corta was freely available at breakfast. The bedrooms were large clean and well serviced with seating and coffee table. The rooms were serviced by two modern lifts. The swimming pool was well maintained as were the communal gardens. There was also a very enjoyable bar/lounge area again looking onto the pool. Clearly the staff at this hotel are its stars for how they keep the hotel and interact with the guests.

Handy location just 5 mins walk from the ferries and restaurants and 10 mins from the train station.

Breakfast poor. Limited! Particularly, the cooked breakfast. No Chef on premises... says it all!

Location, pool , outdoor facilities, cleanliness.

everything exceeded our expectations, we cannot express or delight at the hotel, staff, facilities, location, quality, all brilliant

The breakfast was tremendous, great choice, hot and cold, waiter service, large patio doors to eat on the patio by the pool. We were fortunate to have a junior suite, a great room over looking the front of the hotel with some views of the surrounding mountains. A large balcony and superb features. We asked for a kettle for the room and this was provided FOC, there is a mini bar with a price list and the bed was very comfortable as was the aircon. We had plenty of wardrobe and storage space. We were located very close to the town centre and the sea front, a small 5 to 7 minute walk to the main shopping precincts, restaurants and sea from for the boat terminal to visit all of the Lake Garda towns. I stayed with my wife and my two sister-in-laws and husbands, so 6 of us, they had superior rooms, both pool views and one, due to mobility, had a ground floor, pool view room, all said, they wanted to stay and not go home. We all really enjoyed our stay, we have no complaints to make about anything, we even enjoyed some great advise about where to eat - Linus near by is a great place to eat, 2 minutes on the right once out of the hotel.

The road out the front could be a little noisy (although very quiet with balcony doors closed) Found the bed a little too firm for us, but that's a personal choice of course.

Lovely clean room and a good size (Jnr Suite) All staff were friendly and helpful but specific mention to the gentleman on Reception who sourced us a pair of flip flops (that we needed to access the Thermal Spa in Sirmione!) Good location, just 2 mins from a supermarket and 5 mins to the main area/ferry port in Desenzano. Train station 15 mins walk. Lots of restaurant choices nearby. Good breakfast choices Nice relaxed feel in the hotel

Nothing - it’s great!

Amazing hotel. Perfect location - 12 min walk to train station and 5 min walk to the ferry/front of Desenzano. The staff were all very helpful and spent lots of time helping us plan our trips around the Lake/Verona. Free parking and free bike hire are included. The rooms, hotel and pool are all pristine. Great value for money. We only checked out today and are planning when we can return.

The only sad thing was having to leave.

Everything & everyone! Amazing staff who made my big birthday celebration with family truly memorable. Special thanks to Mario for ordering flowers & to Giovani for keeping the secret of the unexpected guest from Canada. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean & comfortable, quiet with a view over the pool. We were given sparkling wine to have with my birthday cake. Excellent location with an easy walk to the lakeside & ferry terminal. Plenty of Excellent bars & restaurants close by. We all loved the hotel, can highly recommend. Breakfast was exceptional, variety of fruit, cereal, cold cuts, cheese, cooked items, cake, juices, sparkling wine.

A welcome drink would have been a pleasant addition. Breakfast lacked variety and there were occasional shortages. Reception staff were efficient but could be abrupt.

Very comfortable room with lovely bathroom and good air conditioning. The lounge, breakfast room and pool area were beautifully kept. Cleaning and room maintenance were super. We were given a noisy room (traffic) on arrival and were accommodated next day without question. We thought the star rating was more deserving of 4 stars instead of 3.

My husband and I stayed at hotel Nazionale with our two children. We had an amazing stay. The staff were absolutely fantastic and made us feel so welcome and they were so helpful. The room was lovely and clean and breakfast was perfect. We are hoping to return to this hotel soon again.

It would have been nice for the pool to be heated. We came during the colder months, and it was impossible to swim. However, this didn't detract from the overall experience.

Breakfast was amazing. The location was in the middle of the city, and in walking distance to the center. Parking, check-in and check-out were a breeze. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was good, with shower having good pressure and water temperature. I would stay again. The staff welcomed us with open arms and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We asked for assistance for the ferry to other villages, and the train, and they went out of their way to assist. It was a great experience.

Perhaps the only small drawback was the lack of a kettle in the room. It would be great in winter to have coffee or tea in the room or on the balcony after a walk. However, this didn't in any way affect the impression of the hotel and its staff.

We stayed at Hotel Nazionale in January and it turned out to be unforgettable. We have never been greeted so warmly and caringly in any hotel. Got a free room upgrade and a bottle of prosecco for my birthday. Kudos to the staff for their help with all questions and requests. The room itself was very cozy, bright and warm. Cleaning was done every day and was perfect. There were no problems with hot water, the shower was good. The location is ideal - near the embankment, the old town, cafes and restaurants, a small store, a public transport stop and a ferry. The birthday was perfect and we will definitely be back. Thank Hotel Nazionale for the nice stay!

My husband found the bed a little too firm. I actually liked it as it meant when he moved, he didn't disturb me!

The hotel was lovely. Staff were great and very accommodating. The hotel is in a great location and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

The breakfast was great! One of the best hotel breakfasts there is.

Stayed in November 2023

The terrace which was lovely and overlooked the swimming pool, was always occupied by smokers, this made having breakfast in the Sun on the terrace very unpleasant, they should have a separate area away from the terrace for those who want to smoke!

A good selection for breakfast with hot & cold choices plus tea or coffee

Plenty of local restaurants to eat out in but it would have been nice to have an evening meal in the hotel at least once.

Great location; lovely room - clean etc; friendly staff

The swimming pool was absolutely great, spacious enough and super clean, with water at just the right temperature! Very relaxing time! We really liked the room and bathroom too, breakfast was rich, they offered delicious espressos on top of regular filtered coffee. We used the underground parking with free-of-charge charging station for our plug-in hybrid car. They have at least couple of slots there. Very convenient location just a few steps away from the pedestrian area of town
