On our first visit to Lake Garda and after reading former reviews about the Hotel Du Parc we decided to book and we were not disappointed, on arrival the reception staff informed us our room wasn't ready but pointed in the direction of the pool area to sit and have a drink, the first drink was complimentary. Check in was straight forward and the staff were lovely and friendly they advised us to leave our cases and when the room was ready about 30 minutes later our cases had already been put in the room. The room was large and on the ground floor, there were two rooms, one contained a double bed whilst the other had a Sofer bed, If you wanted it the televisions x 2 both had SKY but you don't go on holiday to watch TV, tea and coffee in the room and 4 free drinks in the fridge, every day the cleaners tried to clean our room so no issues there. I will say the rooms were very quiet with a comfortable bed so no issues sleeping, the hotel to the front is situated within a small housing estate but there was never any noise so no concerns there. We stayed Half board and the breakfast was fine, both hot and cold food available with plenty of options regarding drinks, breakfast is self service, the evening meal is 4 courses and there is plenty of choice, the only issue I had was ordering my evening meal at breakfast, i understand why this is done to assist the chefs but for me I am not in the mood to make my evening meal choice, on occasions we didn't order and left it until later in the day. I am a fussy eater but have to say I enjoyed 90% of the meals and the service from the staff was brilliant. The selection of drinks from the bar is also very good with all branded spirits etc, Michele was brilliant with service and always smiling, you can order at the bar, and if it's not too busy the staff offer table service and also around the pool. What I enjoyed most about the Du Park was how quiet it was and relaxing, in fact the whole of Sirimione is like this, not a bar in sight or rowdy people, please note I would not class the Du Park as a hotel to take children as there is no entertainment at all so look elsewhere as they would be very bored. The old town is lovely, with lots of restaurants, castles, and nice walks During our stay we booked a trip to Limone and Venice, we booked via Tui and both trips were very good, naturally not the cheapest but in doing so they took all the hassle away. Note the Venice trip is around a 14hr day, the Tui guide, Fredrico was brilliant, his knowledge of the area and the history lessons given during the tour made it worthwhile - Ps if you do the Venice trip and want to go on the gondola as a pair do not book this via the Tui trip as you end up with 4 in one gondola so not very nice. To sum up, Hotel Du Park, thanks for a great week, great hotel with great staff

“Doesn't come better than this.”

This 4 star hotel fully lived up to its rating. I would find it difficult to fault any aspect of it, from cleaner to barman and reception to waiter all were excellent.

This 4 star hotel fully lived up to its rating. I would find it difficult to fault any aspect of it, from cleaner to barman and reception to waiter all were excellent. The hotel itself is spotless, very welcoming and situated in a quiet area of town overlooking Lake Garda which is about 200 meters away. The food offered was very varied and something to suit everyone. The service and quality of the food was excellent. The hotel is best suited for older guests but to enjoy it to its full people should be aware its about a 7 minute walk into the town centre and a 40 minute walk to the old town. Would I go back to this hotel? definitely, but to the town, not for me, far too busy and overcrowded.

Enjoyed a pleasant week here .A nice quiet hotel mostly adults and some bus tours stay here. The bedroom was large, bed reasonable, I would prefer softer. Very clean and large bathroom. Good storage. I asked for a quiet room on a high floor which I got. Only downside there was no view, apart from trees and the kitchen extraction made a noise. Couldn't hear it when the door was closed, and we were too busy to sit on the balcony. Most rooms seem pleasant though, and all the staff are lovely, Great car park if you have a car. Pool was lovely , but chilly, no bathing caps required as i'd read before. Very close to Columbare, a side path from the hotel is quicker, a nice little area with shops, cafes and restaurants, nice beach area with cafes and restaurants. Bus to Verona or Desenzano and other places, also a stop for the shuttle bus to Sirmione town. There is one near the hotel as well. The buses can sometimes be a bit late. Sirmione is a good 40 minute walk, not too pleasant with a lot of traffic .It is a lovely little place though , especially when all the day trippers go, also great for catching the ferries. I didn't particularly like choosing my meals ahead , I also felt a bit close to other people in the dining room. I prefer self service meals, but he food was good, a bit lacking in vegetables for my tastes. All in all a nice hotel, great entertainment on the Saturday night, but a bit quiet on the other nights, a lot of people went to their rooms early. Think it may be nice if the lights were dimmed in the foyer , where the bar is to give it a bit more ambience after dinner. Lots to do in the Lake Garda area.

Suite was a good size with modern large bathroom. We had breakfast only which was totally buffet style leading to the inevitable queuing but food was good with many choices. Dinner menu looked adequate but bright lighting in the restaurant was not inviting. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant/breakfast area could be improved with redecorating and alternative lighting for evening. Good shuttle bus to Sirmione. Restaurants within walking distance. Ferry is comfortably accessible .
