A few days break

A few days break prior to visiting Bologna. We flew into Milan, train to Pescheria then taxi to Hotel Ideal. Perfect location, close to Jamaica beach and away from the crowds in summer. Good breakfast and excellent coffees!

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely fantastic. Greta location, to get to the hotel if you are driving you do have to drive through the historic centre which can be a little narrow and busy, however is not an issue and quite the experience. The hotel is ideally located for exploring, relaxation. The staff were amazing, especially Simone who was great with recommendations and just overall and absolutely delight to talk with.
James, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect Location & Facilities. Staff are amazing. The pool area has a beautiful view of the lake & plenty of sun beds in the sun & shade if preferred with a bar/restaurant for pool side enjoyment. Private access to the lake for hotel guests & a short walk to Jamaica Beach & the main town make this hotel the perfect location. Quiet & peaceful area. A special thanks to all the staff involved in helping me with a surprise for my partner. All round brilliant stay, if you’re looking for a location in lake garda, Sirmione is the place & Hotel Ideal is the cherry on top

8/10 Very good

Nice location at the best spot in Sirmione! Only the strange persons at the small hotel public beach, who openly smoke drugs and take the best spots in the shade, are a problem in my eyes, because of the kids! Drugs at places where kids are is just horrible and should be restricted by the hotel and the police! So one star less!!!

Sobrevalorado

Me pareció un hotel caro, dice ser de 4 estrellas pero bien pudiera ser una categoría inferior. El personal es muy amable y la ubicación es buena, tiene un lago muy cerca y la vista es increíble. Sin embargo la cama es muy dura y la habitación en general no es muy linda

Ótima estadia porém como o hotel fica na ponta de Sirmione precisa ver os horários livres para entrar na cidade . A passagem de carro pela cidade é bem apartada. O Lugar é muito bem localizado , fomos a pé para o centro em poucos minutos. O quarto é bom mas o banheiro um pouco apertado. A piscina é ótima, o cafe de manhã excelente e o estacionamento muito bom.

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön an der Spitze von Sirmione. Es ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was aber Charme hat und spätestens durch Sauberkeit und Service locker ausgeglichen wird. Das Frühstück ist super, vor allem Kaffee können sie. Wir hatten 2 kleine Mängel im Zimmer, die umgehend behoben wurden. Klare Empfehlung!

Die Unterkunft glänzt mit sehr gutem und höflichem Personal, sowie einer hervorragenden Lage direkt gegenüber der Grotte und dem Wasser. Das Frühstpck ist hervorragend und der Espresso perfekt. Einzig die in die Jahre (deswegen nicht dreckig oder ungepflegt) gekommene Einrichtung kann man negativ anmerken. Ich bin mit meinem Sohn gereist und wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt ☺️

El personal increíble! Super amigables y amables, en especial Sebastiano. El lugar es super lindo, el hotel excelente, solamente no tenian activado el aire acondicionado en las habitaciones (tal vez por la época-abril) y el agua caliente en la ducha no funcionaba, pero en cuanto lo reportamos, a la mañana siguiente lo repararon. Excelente hotel, definitivamente una muy buena opción para regresar, una atención de primera calidad!
