Hotel Idania

Centrally located, with friendly staff and well-maintained facilities, the accommodation provides a varied breakfast and spacious, clean rooms. However, some guests found the breakfast options limited.

Loved this typical Italian family owned and ran hotel. We were given a very friendly welcome and check in was quick and easy. The rooms are basic and immaculately clean and serviced daily plus fresh towels too. The breakfast is great with a big selection and the breakfast room is airy and spacious with outside seating if you wish. The bar area is also very spacious and there are lots of different area to sit in and out. The pool area is nice and you get towels from reception which you put in a blue bin at the poolside after use. The owner Georgio is always smiling and helpful and the staff are indeed an asset to the Idania. The hotel itself is 2mins from the bus station and 5mins from the lake front, it's a great location. We spoke with many return guests and I totally understand why. We really enjoyed this friendly small hotel and definitely will be back. Big thanks for having us and hopefully see you soon.

Booked this hotel some 10 months before we arrived. On checking in we were disappointed to find that our two rooms were not together and at opposite ends of the hotel. However not the end of the world. Check in was pleasant , speedy and helpful. I was in room 220 with a balcony overlooking the rear of the hotel. Compact to say the least and having stayed in hotels in Italy before we were not surprised at the "old fashioned" feel of the place. As always though there was plenty space to store everything. The main things missing were sockets, for my hairdryer, a fridge and kettle. Nowadays a fridge for water, juice and wine/beer is a must. Especially when a request for ice cubes is denied when you haven't bought a drink from the bar. We went to the local Spar, bought bags of ice , bottles of water and local wine and stored these in a bag in the bidet. However owing to the fact the ice didn't last more than a day we couldn't "bulk buy". The hotel is nipping clean, with plenty of hot water and clean fluffy towels. Breakfast buffet is amazing with fresh everything every morning. Big shout out to the bakery that makes their spinach and ricotta pie for breakfast. Absolutely divine. Location of the hotel is fab. You are dropped off at the nearby bus station by Tui with a short walk to the hotel. It's just a few minutes walk into Bardolino centre and a short walk along the road to the Spar supermarket. Pool area lovely , however it was very cool when we were there mid September so we only got to lie around the pool for two half days. Very disappointing after having been at the same time two years ago and the weather was red hot. Safe was free. Bardolino is gorgeous and the staff at the hotel are friendly and informative. All in all a great time.
