Hotel Augusta

Amazing breakfast!

The view from our room was lovely. The bed was hard as rock. Fortunately, we did not need air conditioning. The instruction book mentioned air conditioning available, but we never found it in our room. I can see where in the summer it would be very helpful. The on-site bar was nice. Unfortunately, as nice as the bartender was, he would just grab handfuls of ice as needed instead of using a scoop or washing his hands first.

The family who run the hotel are brilliant, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble including helping with onward travel. I found the aircon “policy” a little odd, it’s only available for three months (July - Sept) and only for a set timing window each day. The rooms are clean and functional.

We had an amazing stay from the moment we arrived! We had booked Hotel Augusta as our base as we were running the Lake Garda marathon, which finished at Malcesine. We had a hire car and were able to park up no problem with ample and secure spaces. When checking in, we were given a warm welcome and given full instructions on things like breakfast and accessing the leisure facilities. Onto our room and we had one of the most spectacular balcony views I've ever seen, overlooking the town, the castle, the lake and the cliffs beyond. Everything was incredibly clean, the bed was huge and very comfortable. The nicest touch was that after explaining that we wouldn't make breakfast on the Sunday as we had to be away early for the marathon, one of the team knocked on our door the evening before with a lovely breakfast spread for the morning to ensure we were well fuelled. It was lovely and completely unexpected, but really appreciated. The indoor and outdoor pools with hot tub were heavenly after the marathon. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone, but especially if you're doing the marathon! Thanks again for an amazing stay.
