It's all a bit confusing. The Royal, Palme and Palme Suite in Garda are all adjacent and owned by the same company ( Chimanieri I recollect). The Palme Suite is a large annexe of the Palm. The Suite Guests have their own reception and pool but otherwise dine ( a word I use loosely), in the Palm, a few yards... more

My parents booked for a whole family holiday to this hotel, the 11th time they have been there in 15 years. It was our first trip to Garda, being normally used to going to Turkey, Greece or the Canaries. We read the reviews on this site before going away and wondered what on earth we were going to find. All... more

I am sorry to say I have to agree with elizabethb`s report on 23rd September 2007 Things have still not changed and we shall not be returning. I will say though that other people we spoke to did like the hotel and said that they will be returning next year. Others agreed with us and will not be returning. I... more

We arrived at the Hotel Royal, after reading the previous reviews yet still going ahead, because of the price. Let's say I have learnt my lesson. Reception smelled of smoke everyday. Not cigarette smoke, but like a fire had burned the night before. We went to our room, and while the size was acceptable, nothing else was. ok, the sheets... more

I was initially a bit worried about the holiday as we had booked for the Suite or Royal and didn't know which one we would be in. The reviews on here were mixed but we decided to make up our own mind. I'm glad we did as the hotel was great. The room is slightly basic but then you're not... more

From reading some of the views i think it realy depends on what your standards are for the price you pay. My mum, dad and i went to the hotel suite for our first abroad holiday last year. Used to basic camping facilities, i thought the hotel was great value for money. Ok the rooms are dated and small but... more

What a horrible shabby hotel: not decorated since 1960s - except for some lovely 1980s red plastic bathroom attachments awful industrial wire-wool carpet in bedrooms loud, dripping aircon - that only works after 4pm tiny (german programmed) tv high-up in room that can hardly be seen dust on everything cheap toiletries - a plastic sliver of soap and watery shampoo... more

We have just stayed here with a group of 45 people. Despite the demands that a group of our size makes, the staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. When we arrived the air-conditioning in our room was not working, but the woman at reception lent us the fan from her office, and... more
