Hotel Modena Old Town

Posizione centralissima, praticamente sul lungo lago. Staff gentilissimo e stanza pulita. Unica pecca la mancanza di un condizionatore, ma comunque presente un ventilatore a soffitto.

I booked a single room at Hotel Modena in Malcesine directly from the hotel website several months in advance. Malcesine is the most charming town around Lake Garda, IMO, and since it's tiny and crowded, it pays to book accommodation as long in advance as you can. Besides, there are limited choices for budget hotels around Lake Garda. Anyway, close to my arrival, the ATV bus company stated that there would be no bus service from Garda to Malcesine on the day I was planning to arrive, May 1, because it is a National Day in Italy (it turned out there were buses, after all, but that's another story!). So I contacted the hotel to change my dates, and they promptly acquiesced. I asked for an early checkin, and I was graciously allowed to checkin at 12:30PM. I had also asked for a quiet room on the highest floor, and I was happy to see my room (#311) was on the top floor (there's an elevator). Thanks to Doina's tireless and thorough cleaning, the room was pristine; the bedsheets were the cleanest I've seen in Italy, a brilliant white. Since the weather was cold, the kind and helpful Joshua showed me how to turn the heat on. The only thing I would change is very minor: a handheld shower, instead of the fixed shower head. Breakfast is plentiful, including both sweet and flavory choices, and even some fresh fruit. Always with a smile, Doina is making sure that breakfast fares are replenished, so there's never an unmet need. After checkout, I was allowed to store the luggage for the rest of the day. I cannot praise enough the professionalism, and kindness, of the staff at Hotel Modena in Malcesine.

I think Malcesine is the nicest village on Lake Garda, and this small, friendly, family run hotel in the Old Town is a great place to stay. Just yards from the lake shore, a few minutes walk from ferry boat, bus, and loads of restaurants, shops and bars. Also easy walk to castle, cable car, and several small swimming spots on the lake. I had a room facing the street, which was no problem at night, as with double glazing and air con I was not disturbed. The breakfast buffet was ample. Great value (book direct with the hotel, it will be cheaper). Staff speak good English and even brought me a kettle for my room.

Great little hotel. Perfect location, clean & tidy, very helpful & friendly staff. Very good value for money imho. Buffet breakfast was nice, plenty to choose from (but no full English for the British traveller). Easy to recommend, and looking forward to returning sometime in the future.
