We have just returned from a three night stay at this hotel in Desenzano del Garda. Small, family run hotel with compact room (as previously mentioned) but extremely clean with very helpful staff, especially the young Italian lady on reception. We requested a harbour view room at the front of the hotel when booking the hotel but they said that... more

We have just returned from a week at the marvellous Hotel Piroscafo in Desenzano Del Garda. We had a wonderful time.

We stayed in room 15 on the 3rd floor with a balcony overlooking the lake, the room was... more

Spent three nights at the hotel on a B&B basis and enjoyed the breakfast. Our room was at the back of the hotel and we had no problems with noise even on the day the market was setting up.

My husband and I stayed in this hotel from 25 June to 1 July. We booked the lake view room, which, as others have commented is actually a view of a cute little harbour. You can see the lake as well. I took other reviewer's advice and didn't get the breakfast. It was a good decision as one morning we... more

Well, The young lady was quite nice that checked me in. She had me sign some forms that stated that if anyone called for me it was ok for them to verify I was staying at that hotel. She then took my passport gave me instructions on how to get to my room and handed me the room key. Meanwhile... more

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Piroscafo, Desenzano Del Garda for 5 nights from 30/05-04/06. The room. Our room (17) was spotlessly clean. We paid extra for a lake view and to be honest im not so sure I should have bothered in hindsight. The lake view was actually a view of a small harbour. The lake itself was... more
