The Hotel Mayer was a great place to stay for our short break in Desenzano and we'd happily stay here again. The hotel and room was very clean and comfortable with an unexpected partial view of the lake from the balcony. The noise insulation was brilliant given we were overlooking a very busy square. Reception staff were friendly although it was a bit more hit and miss at breakfast. There was plenty of choice of options to eat, however. The location is perfect - central and on the waterfront, but just a 10 minute walk (albeit uphill) to the station.

Super quick check in

Hotel with excellent location, service was very special to our needs. We loved the private terrace facing the lake and would definitely return to the same hotel

Beautiful rooms and incredible lake view. The spa was excellent and the hotel staff gave us exceptional service.

Property is authentic and clean. We were in a lake view with balcony. Was lovely sitting out in the evening. Receptionists are warm and friendly, even came to collect us from train station. Hallways and stairs beautiful. Breakfast was extensive and nice overlooking lake. A real gem of a beautiful place.

Lovely hotel and location. All staff helpful, breakfast excellent. Opposite harbour to get the boat around the lake. Food options good in the area and not expensive.

Excellent location, just across road from lake ferry, rooms facing lake are superb, the waiter serving drinks to us all week was very attentive, and lots of places to eat within 5 minutes walk. The breakfast in the hotel was really good, didn't take lunch or evening meals in the hotel as we like to venture out, but the dining room is in an ideal location facing the lake. The walk back to the train station, although only 15-20 minutes walk, is all uphill and a taxi to take us there with our cases was difficult to find on the day of leaving. The reception manageress was kind enough to take us there in her own car (a 5 minute drive). All in all, it's definitely a place I would visit again and well worth the 5 stars.

The beauty of the restored1824 building was just amazing. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The hotel location in town center area. The room large with a balcony looking out over lake de Garda.It was wonderful.

The location is great and very central. We booked lake view rooms but unfortunately the view was blocked by trees. The rooms are quite outdated and not worth the price. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

We had to stay longer due to my husband being poorly. The night porter was extremely helpful when we needed an ambulance. Hotel staff even collected us from the local hospital and take us back to the hotel. Fantastic service when we needed help.

I like the location and how the hotel looks from the outside. I did not like the interior of the hotel. The rooms are old and not appropriate for a 4-star hotel, not even for a 3-star hotel. I would never have expected the non-existent decoration of the corridors and common areas of the room floors. Neither the outdated floor tiles. The price they charge was for a 4-star superior and that's what get me upset. Breakfast was ok, average for hotels in the region. The location is what makes this hotel unique. but it doesn't feel luxurious, the lobby is the only area that gives this type of feeling, but also needs a renovation, they can keep the old style but please spend the money you making from these expensive rooms.

Our recent stay at the Hotel Mayer & Splendid was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They upgraded us to include a visit to the hotel spa, which was really relaxing. The hotel is really well situated in the centre of Desenzano, near all the restaurants and bars and across from the ferry stop, so easy for trips across the lake. The hotel is family owned. It isn’t a very modern hotel in many ways, although we find that is common in many parts of Italy. However, the marble staircases and so on give it a real charm. We stayed in a 3 person family superior room, which was more than enough for the time that you spend in the room when on holiday. It had a nice view over to the lake. The guests were a mix of nationalities, including lots of Italians visiting, which was a great sign of how well the hotel is regarded. There is a small cafe attached to the hotel which appeared to be owned by the hotel itself although it wasn’t accessed from the hotel. The cafe was nice for a quiet drink until he afternoon or evening, watching the people go by. Desenzano, and Lake Garda generally, was a lovely place for a holiday, and we would highly recommend Hotel Mayer & Splendid. We needed to leave early on the last day, and the hotel offered to make us some breakfast packs to take with us for the journey, which was a nice touch. We would definitely go back.

Location absolutely brilliant. Breakfast too. Room substandard with holes and cracks all over the wall. The room next door looked much better and more recently refurbished. The gym was just some equipment in room 118 and 119! Disappointing.

we booked triple room water front room 2 months before arrival. when we arrived there, we were given a regular room without water view. when we asked why, they said the expedia sent wrong booking, When we called Expedia, Expedia said that was not true at all and explained why, we found the hotel is dishonest on giving away the room we booked. We won't be going back again,

We had a great room lake view and the breakfast was delicious

Very good

The hotel has a prime location. Staff is very helpful. The room was very clean and tidy with comfortable beds and a roomy bathroom. We had a lake view, although in the corner of the building and slightly blocked by the building next door. At least now in autumn in was quiet. Nice breakfast, exactly the same every morning.

The hotel looked and felt tired. The sheets didn't seem to feel clean and crisp. The television didn't work and neither did the telephone when I tried to call the front desk to ask about the television. Breakfast was good though and the location was excellent, right in front of the ferry port. If returning to Desenzano, I would likely choose a different hotel.

We were pleasantly surprised with this charming little hotel by the lake. The location was A+++ The staff was charming and helpful always. The rooms were a little small, but clean and well equipped. The bathrooms were new and clean. The room view was delightful. Breakfast included a nice selection of pastries, meats, cheeses, breads and fruits and was included every morning…
