Eco Hotel Ariston

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Eco Hotl Ariston. The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English (as well as Italian and German). The large landscaped garden on the hotel grounds was like having your own park. The breakfast buffet was varied and contained both hot and cold dishes, both savory and sweet. The location was close to the historic center of town with the ferry dock and right below the cable car station which had cars going up to the side of Mount Baldo. The view from the top of the cable car was breathtaking. We enjoyed a ferry ride to pretty Limone. And the Malcesine castle and museum was fascinating.

We stayed at Eco Hotel Ariston mid September 2023, and was very pleased with our experience. Top floor rooms give the best view of the Lake & Castle. We had the top floor Superior room not Lake facing but with a side balcony, so it gives you the best of both, Castle to the front an Mount Baldo to the rear. The rooms are clean and functional with all amenities required. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is European with excellent healthy choices, with way too many to list here, you can eat on the terrace overlooking a lovely garden. If you have any food allergies they will cater for you, I'm Celiac so was given a selection of bread & cereals. The Hotel location is perfect just off the main Lake road, a 5 min walk from the Bus Station terminal. The Mount Baldo cable car station is literally next door (no noise) a Spar mini market & pharmacy is also 2 mins walk away for any bits an bobs, the Castle is also 5 mins walk. With being that central you may think it's noisy but far from it, the traffic is light and never disturbed our sleep with the even windows open. I just can't find any glaring faults here, so it was perfect fit for a stunning location. We'll be back for sure !

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights while we were in town for a wedding. We absolutely loved the hotel. The staff were fantastic, the breakfast was delicious, location could not be beat. We were walking distance to the old town, loads of restaurants, grocery stores, beaches. Our room was comfortable and we loved our afternoon drinks on the balcony overlooking the garden and the castle. The only downside I could mention about the hotel was that the walls are quite thin and we could easily hear our neighbor's tv first thing in the morning. Otherwise, though, I cannot fault it. I would happily return and stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We were visiting Malcesine for a friends wedding at the castle and stayed at this hotel. We loved our trip and were very happy with this hotel! - Great location with a short walk down to the Lake front and right next to the cable car. - The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. - Rooms were very well kept and clean, with room service daily We would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re in the area

The hotel is small and well located for easy access to the centre. The room was very clean and modern though would benefit guests with more plugs. Nice big shower too and good bathroom. Staff were extremely pleasant, professional and helpful at any time we needed them. Penny, Max and Stefania were the staff we mainly spoke with and we’re great. Breakfast was good though a smaller choice than we had in a larger hotel in Riva. Layout caused some queuing waiting for milk or juice whilst elaborate coffees were made. The gardens were good and well maintained. Our only gripe was noise from rooms next to or above us. On our first evening some clown was doing scale practice on some sort of musical device that went on for over half an hour. Above we had people stamping their feet and we could hear people in rooms next to us talking, putting plugs in walls plus anything else they seemed to do. We appeared to be by a soil pipe as we heard most toilets flushing and noise from the corridor outside the room also resounded as people ignored the keep quiet signs. I think the noise was from structural issues and there wasn’t much staff could have done to solve this though we did mention it when we paid. Noise in the gardens that other reviewers have mentioned, wasn’t a problem. If we were guaranteed a less noisy room in the future I would have no question of staying at this hotel again. One eco issue, maybe the hotel could do with a card entry system that stops air con being left on when guests are out.
