Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Avril84 wrote a review Nov 2023
Colchester, United Kingdom199 contributions80 helpful votes
The hotel is situated at the top of Lake Garda in Riva del Gar overlooking the lake. It is a warm friendly hotel and my room on the 2nd floor which was comfortable overlooked the lake and piazza where people would sit and listen to very good singer / musicians until 10pm each evening. There is a bar and ice cream shop on the ground floor near reception and the restaurant is excellent, buffet breakfast with good selection of hot and cold dishes plus fresh fruit. Evening meal was a 4 course waiter service, lots of choices for each course and waiters were friendly and helpful. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby plus there are ferries you can catch to other towns round the lake which are reasonably priced. To visit Limione the next town costs 10 euro's and 8 for senior citizens on the ferry. There is also a vehicular railway which takes you to an old ruined tower where you can walk around or sit in the cafe at the top and look down over the town and lake for 6 euro's. As a single person I usually find the rooms very small so it was nice to be able to pay a little extra for a double room. I wish other hotels would give that option. The only downside I found was the reception staff did not live up to the rest of the staff, I found them slightly unhelpful at times and not particularly forthcoming with options when asked. I visited as part of a group and we all had a wonderful holiday staying in this hotel, I would highly recommend it.

Hotel's Favourite
Had originally booked two nights here but we added on another night as we were having such a great time. The additional night we upgraded to a room with a view of the lake and if I can give one piece of advice I'd say definitely do that if you can, it's really spectacular. The hotel is right on the lake with a bar below overlooking the water. Good cocktails and the bar staff are lovely. There have been a few poor reviews about the food - the breakfast buffet is brilliant, spoilt for choice - cold meats, cheese, yogurt, cakes, fresh fruit, good coffee, prosecco.. we had dinner here once and that was great too - the fish was perfectly cooked. Lots and lots of choice in regards to bars and restaurants in Riva so you don't have to eat in the hotel anyway. We had a car and the car park is secure, close to the hotel and costs 10 eur a night. You can't get that close to the hotel by car as it's in a pedestrianised area so easier to go straight to the car park and walk with your luggage. From Riva you can take a boat to Malcesine where you can take the cable car up to Monte Baldo (not for the faint hearted but a brilliant trip) and to Limone which is beautiful. We travelled around the lake and I do think that Riva is the best place to stay - lots going on and the walking and cycling opportunities across the mountain are endless.

This was a return visit to Hotel Sole. A charming, and comfortable hotel in a perfect position, lake-side, in Rive del Garda. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are older style but very nice. A view of the lake from the bedroom window is a must.

Rovereto, Italy3699 contributions55 helpful votes
A very good weekend stay. Our room (223) was clean and comfortable. We were surprised to have a small balcony overlooking an internal courtyard. There was obviously no special view, but it was nice to have this space. And of course, no noise. The mattress was very firm, and we like a very firm mattress. There was no bidet in the bathroom, which was unexpected. It was mostly cloudy when we visited, so we did not take full advantage of the rooftop terrace, but it seemed like it would be a nice place to relax. Note, though, that there seems to be no shade on the terrace. The staff were helpful, although it would be a good idea to make the reception desk larger and have two people working behind it instead of one, at least during the very busy times. The location of the hotel is excellent, with a prime location in piazza III Novembre and right in front of the lake. Nearly everything we did over our weekend was within a 5-minute walk of the hotel's front door. We cannot wait to return.

The Hotel Sole is in a beautiful location, the rooms are clean and of a good size, however the shower cubicle was unsuitable for the larger person. I was with a coach party of over 40 people, on arrival, after a 12 hour journey, we were immediately ushered into a corner of the restaurant, partly partitioned off away from the main restaurant, no time to freshen up, or sit with friends. At breakfast the following day, we asked to move tables to enable us to eat with friends. the Head Waiter refused. We had to sit at the first table we had used on the first evening for the duration of our stay. The tables in our designated area were placed so close together that it was precarious to take food back to the table without mishap. In the evening the waiters could not access our table to serve the food, we had to pass the plates over the table. To add insult to our first request, after breakfast my companion and I chose to sit outdoors with our breakfast coffee rather than risk carrying hot liquid the full length of the restaurant and pushing past other diners. We were refused by the Head Waiter and told that the tables outside were for GUESTS !!!!!!!! The same thing happened again when I purchased an ice cream cone from the hotels gelateria and sat at an outside table to enjoy it, I was asked to move on. The food in the restaurant was bland and the menu offered the same foods over and over again, just prepared differently. Very disappointing!! Several members of our group felt that we were not welcome, particularly in the restaurant area. Despite all this we had a fantastic holiday in a fabulous location, but this hotel does not appear to welcome large groups.

Dear Lynne D, we would like to thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We always appreciate feedback such as yours because they give us the opportunity to understand where we went wrong and what can we improve for the future. Regardless of your experience in our hotel, we sadly understood from your review that something went wrong and for that we are sorry. However, if you allow us, we would like to discuss some points with you. It is true that at arrival you were told to go at the dining room as soon as possiblie and that is because dinner starts from 7pm untill 8:30pm. You arrived in hotel at 7:30 pm and since you were a large group we asked you if you could have dinner as soon as possible. We knew that you came after a 12h journey but please try to understand that in order to offer a good dinner service for such a large group and also to private guests we have to make sure that people respect the opening and closing time. Regarding breakfast we do not distinguish between private guests and groups. Unfortunately our tables outside are simply not enough for hosting a large group such as yours. That is why our private guests can eat outside and guests from a coach party always have breakfast inside. Also because we want you to enjoy breakfast and dinner all together and not separated. That was what the head waiter was trying to tell you, he certainly did not mean to offend you. The same thing can be said about our Gelateria and bar. Again, we do not differentiate groups between individuals. Our Gelateria offers a "take away" service. Even if it is located in the same building of the bar it does not mean that you can seat at the bar tables with an ice cream. You have to purchase something to eat or to drink at the bar in order to seat at the tables. We are sorry that your stay with us was not what you expected which is why we will keep in mind your opinion and we will share it with our staff in order to improve ourselves and our service. Hoping to have you again as our guest we wish you a nice day. Best regards.

I stayed at this hotel in July 2023 I found the rooms clean but bed uncomfortable the breakfast was slightly warm not hot the choice was ok the dinner was terrible we had the same food done a different way every night I also found the staff incompetent they got orders wrong and I got the feeling we were not welcome because we were a coach party the receptionist was polite and the cleaners were competent but overall it was very poor a guest who went last year said it wasn’t a patch on when he visited it in 2022 maybe the staff requires more training in customer service

Dear Trevor, thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We always appreciate feedback such as yours because they are important in order to see where we went wrong and how we can improve. We would like to start by thanking you for your kind words regarding our rooms and our reception staff. On the other hand we are very sorry to hear that you had some problem with our dinner service. We always take our guest's opinion very seriously, which is why we will share your criticisms with our staff and understand what could we have done better. As we alredy said to your friend in the last review we do not distinguish between private guests and groups. Having to serve a large group such as yours and also private guest, at the same time, is not an easy task. Having said that, we are sorry that your stay with us was not what you expected. We hope to have you again as our guest in the future so that we can change your mind about us. Best regards.

This was a great place to stay. Definitely get a balcony if possible and spend time just enjoying and relaxing. The rooms are modern and spacious. The AC worked pretty well. The breakfast is great, best I had in Italy. The location also cannot be beat! The sun deck is also very nice. The only negatives I had were the bed is quite hard and a smell of cigarette smoke wafted into the room at times.
