This hotel was exactly what I needed for a solo stay of 5 nights. It was conveniently located on the beautiful old harbor, had friendly staff, provided a solo room and a free breakfast. The location was perfect for taking the ferry to other parts of Lake Garda and it was only a 10 minute walk to the train station for visiting Verona and other areas of Italy. The tourist office is a few steps away, which was great for getting maps and other helpful visitor information.

We had a great stay at Hotel Piroscafo. The location is excellent, close to shops and restaurants, and the rooms are quaint and very clean. Parking was easy with their arrangement at a nearby underground lot (about a 6-minute walk), with in-and-out privileges billed directly by the hotel—very convenient. The included breakfast was excellent, and all the staff were very kind and helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommended.
