Park Hotel Jolanda

I highly recommend staying at this hotel. Excellent value for money. The rooms have recently been refreshed, the cleanliness is very good. Sheets and bath towels always clean. You have free access to the Spa which includes an indoor swimming pool approximately 20 meters long, also excellent for periods other than summer, Jacuzzi, hydromassage tub, sauna, Turkish bath and reactivation path for leg circulation. Upon request, massages can be done for a fee. The bathrobes are released by leaving a deposit. There is also a football and tennis court (racquets and balls issued on request at reception). We chose half board and breakfast and dinner were very good and plentiful. Breakfast is a buffet with a mix of sweet and savory. For dinner there is a different menu every day, various options to choose from and excellent desserts. The hotel has a fabulous view of the lake and ample parking. The hotel also has a bar that is always open for excellent cocktails at reasonable prices. This hotel is a half hour drive from Gardaland and we chose it for the presence of an indoor swimming pool so we could relax after the excursion to the park carried out in the spring month. I highly recommend it especially to those on a limited budget. If you want half board you have to book directly on their site because it is not available on other sites.

If we wanted to give credit to the previous reviews which are stuck in July 2022, we would have to run away! Frankly, I can't understand the harsh opinions given by the guests of that period; I stayed in this hotel on a half board basis with my family in May 2023 and found the opposite. The strong point is certainly the impregnable panorama that dominates Lake Garda from above; but among the positive things I would add the size of the rooms (we had a triple room of around 70 m2!). The excessively soft mattresses need to be reviewed and it would be better to leave the shutters on the French window to the balcony instead of having them replaced with plastic curtains that do not let the air pass through. The structure in general in the common areas has large spaces for guests both outdoors and indoors where a PC with printer is also available for free use. In addition to the structure, our room also seemed to have been recently renovated in the walls and floors with an LCD TV and satellite and local channels and a minibar which is not normally mandatory in a three-star hotel. Breakfast has little variety with only industrial products. For dinner: the exceptional kilometric buffet with raw, cooked and even hot vegetables cooked in the oven was very welcome. Abundant portions for both the first and second courses and perhaps the chef could use a little more imagination regarding the variety of food. Friendly and helpful staff and perfect cleanliness. I wanted to report a problem which is obviously not the Hotel's responsibility, but which would be better to know. If, when going up from Torri del Benaco, you put the address on the navigator and accept "secondary roads" you risk, as happened to me, finding yourself on very narrow, dirt mule tracks with absurd gradients. Overall we were satisfied with our stay.

The truly exceptional location, in the center of San Zeno di Montagna with a breathtaking view of the marvelous Lake Garda from dawn to dusk, and the truly large and welcoming spaces, outside and inside, make this structure with an elegant air "retro" and a little vintage, an ideal place for those seeking serenity, peace, tranquility, escaping from the frenzy and confusion of everyday life... Those like us who are NOT looking for luxury at all costs and instead conceive of a holiday as a moment of true regeneration - to recharge your energy - possibly in AUTHENTIC places, which have an ancient and fascinating HISTORY to tell, here you will feel truly at ease. We will certainly return: for the position, for the views, for the green of the woods and the opening hours, for the ideal climate, for the discreet and very kind people, for the food, for the peace, for the walks, because in a short time time you reach the most beautiful places around the lake... See you soon💝

I state that I travel a lot; and staying in a hotel overlooking the lake certainly has an edge. Having said that, I would highly recommend renovating and modernizing at least the rooms, which are somewhat dated from the 70s and really run down at the price requested by the hotelier. Old mattress, practically non-existent pillows and not even a couple more inside the wardrobe as a courtesy and the worst thing is the cigarette-covered bedspread. The raised floor really couldn't be seen. If you want to watch some TV to relax, well you don't see all the channels. Last but not least, but I mention it equally, the bathroom also dated from the 1950s, the door jamb broken, the door that does not close properly. In short, I think we will not return unless the sale price of the room is significantly lowered. I'm sorry but much more was expected.
