Hotel Eden Salò

Altogether, a very pleasant stay, with lovely views.

Clean hotel with fantastic friendly team. The hotel is pretty basic but clean and comfortable. Location is 5 mins walk from the lake with a lot of local bars and cafes around. There is elevator which is always a plus Also they have their own parking, book it in advance.

Although this hotel isn't one of the most modern, our stay here was very good. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was a very good size, as was the bathroom although at times it took a while to get hot water. Also, the shower floor isn't non-slip. Comfortable bed. A kettle and tea/coffee would be wonderful as it's nice to have a cup of tea before going to breakfast. The breakfast was the best I have had anywhere. Individual portions of fresh fruit in a glass covered with clingfilm (but please cut the pieces smaller!!); individual tiny jars of dried prunes, dates, nuts; "detox water" was heavenly - water flavoured with fresh lime, lemon and ginger; usual selection of cured meats and cheeses, good selection of bread and rolls; lots of homemade cakes and mini desserts; omlettes or crepes available to order; "seasonal vegetables" selection was a bit odd - slices of cucumber, tomatoes and strips of peppers, but nice. All in all, an excellent selection. The staff are always quick with a greeting and smile. Bar has a very good selection of drinks, but it would be nice to get some nibbles with a drink. We took to going to the bar a few yards away. The hotel is located very close to the main clock tower and main shopping promenade and this made for a pleasant walk every evening. Lots of places to eat and drink along the way. Do consider hiring a car if you visit off peak though. The public transport is a joke. . Buses run when they feel like it, and it hampered our trips a bit. We waited over an hour and a half for a bus back to Desenzano train station at the end of the stay. Gave up and the hotel called a cab for us.

A wonderful, family-run hotel! A perfect location for exploring Lake Garda, spotlessly clean and the breakfast was a fantastic way to start the day. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and excellent value for money.
