This hotel is a wonderful example of how a small hotel should be run. Every member of the hotel staff had the welfare of the customer as their number one priority. Everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. We stayed in one of the rooms at the front of the hotel with a balcony and although the main road is about... more

I have just returned from 7 nights in the Gardenia. What can I say that the other reviews haven't? The hotel was all I expected & more. I have never come across more friendly, charming staff, nothing was too much trouble. We opted for a panoramic/lake view room which was great and probably worth a bit extra. Clean, well maintained,... more

We stayed at the Hotel Gardenia for 5 nights at the beginning of June based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Im glad to say they were all correct! The hotel obviously prides itself on its excellent customer service and this is demonstrated by the owners and their staff. Staff at the hotel were extremely polite, helpful and always had... more

Like previous reviewers we found this a very comfortable and welcoming hotel, and very good value especially after spending (in all senses of that word) a few days in Venice. Worth the little extra to book one of the "Panoramic" rooms (lake view and balcony.) Only downside as others have mentioned is the walk into Bardolino town itself and the... more

I have just returned from a week in Lake Garda and was very impressed with this hotel. It is beatifully decorated, has a good pool and also the location is ideal with only a 5 min walk to the lake edge and 10 mins into the centre of Bardolino too. I am not easy to please but would gladly return... more

Stayed in July 2007. This hotel has the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever experienced anywhere. The hotel is clean, rooms spacious and although the pool is quite small its still nice enough. The only small downside is the hotel is a 20 min walk from town centre its a very pleasant walk but after a week in... more

Rooms: spacious, well decorated, plenty of storage, clean, comfortable, nice bathroom, quiet and a nice balcony (unless you go for the cheapest option I believe). Hotel: small (in a good way), charming, nice bar area, 2 nice swimming pools, plenty of sun loungers, nice breakfast, bar snacks. Hotel Staff: the friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever met - from the... more

This was my second stay at Gardenia I also stayed there last summer. It was delightful to be back. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast is always fresh and the location is perfect, you have a 10 minute stroll along the lake side to the centre of Bardolino and you could not ask for more beautiful scenery.... more

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Lake Garda. The hotel staff are very warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the villa next to the hotel which was spacious and very clean. The buffet breakfast was very good all the food was delicious and very fresh all in all we would... more
