After reading some of the reviews of this hotel I nearly cancelled my reservation. I travelled with a friend, a retired engineer aged >80. We wondered what mountain had to be climbed to reach the hotel. Hill was a bit steep but we managed every day even on the first day with our wheelie cases!. It was easier after we... more

Allocated this hotel by Inghams on arrival to Italy. Knew we were taking a risk with such a deal but nothing could have prepared us for this hotel. The only silver lining is that I have lost weight trekking up the hill to the hotel. Kept waiting hours on arrival for a room despite seeing Germans and Americans arriving after... more

Just returned from a 7 day holiday in Garda and was allocated this Hotel on arrival. We had to transfer to a taxi to get to the Hotel because it is so hilly - coaches cannot reach there. It is a good quarter mile up hill - very very steep and the Hotel itself is spread over a wide area.... more

Myself and my 16 year old daughter visited Lake Garda between 6th and 13th August 2008. We enjoyed our stay at the Marco Polo Hotel. The hotel is situated in beautiful grounds with lots of lovely trees and flowers around. It has a wonderful, breathtaking view of Lake Garda and the mountains from the hotel terrace. even if you have... more

The Marco Polo Hotel has a three star rating which it most certainly does not deserve. The rooms, decor and general appearance of the place is well past its sell by date; the entire site being in need of a complete refurbishment. By far the worst aspect is the standard of catering. We endured three evening meals before opting to... more

Have just got back from Marco Polo on a very cheap deal, hence expectations weren't too high and were fully met! The Hotel urgently needs: 1. Air Con - we hit temps of 35 degs and it was unbearable in the heat. 2. To be much more honest about the location - it's a killer walk in heat and partly... more

The room we were allocated was right under the bar/lounge area of hotel. All day and night we heard chairs scraping across the floor - being dragged to and from the tables. The serving of food in the evening was always rushed, 18:30 they wanted to get rid of you asap so they could prepare for the 20:00 sitting, This... more

After spending some blissful days with my partner and our two and a half year old son in and around Merano we travelled to Garda. The Marco Polo hotel had been booked by my partners’ sister and her Italian boyfriend who were travelling to join us the next day. From the moment we drove into the grounds of the Marco... more

Me and my husband, we passed a week to the Marco Polo Hotel, and we had a very good welcome from the staff. Due to a problem in our shower, suddenly the general manager offered to move to a better room and they offer as well a good bottle of Bardolino wein. The staff of the restaurant was very kind... more
