Hotel Royal Village

Stayed here for a week and while Limone is a beautiful town on Lake Garda, this hotel is stuck in a different time. Its dated approach was out of date in the 1990s. We upgraded to one of the Blumen Villa rooms with a lake view. The room was modern but basic and let down by cracked tiles and shower tray in the bathroom. Apart from a small TV, there was a small fridge which didnt work. Not really worth a ‘Superior’ upgrade. The common areas of the hotel are very old fashioned and outdated. The pool areas are nice and open, but only one had a pool bar, from which you can’t get drinks and food to eat or drink in the pool areas. This is a half board hotel and this was where the real let down was for us. We love Italian food, but the hotel clearly caters for a certain type of guest, Elderly German Bus Trip Tourists & the menu reflects that. The dining room is large and has the atmosphere of a 1980’s M62 service area. Food was cold, bland and poor quality. Yes there is free house wine & beer but meal times where like school dinners, get in there, get it done and out again. There is an Italian Restaurant, which has to be booked, but again its a buffet and choices were bland apart from the pizzas. We visited at the end of the season so Limone was starting quieten down so outside the hotel there was little to do on an evening. We did attend an evening’s entertainment in the ‘Music Room’… think Phoenix Night’s Fever Dream & you have the idea! Guy on an electric piano pretending to play while signing Elvis & German covers. Others have mentioned the location up a steep hill. We didn’t have an issue. Others will and while the hotel does have a shuttle bus, charging 2 Euro each way for elderly guests (clearly your target market) was disappointing. Good points, staff nice & helpful but stop somewhere else.

Coming to the end of our 2 week stay here Upon arrival we were shown to our room which was across the road from reception , we upgraded to a superior room to which I was very disappointed with . The room is very basic , no kettle or tea making facilities , no pool towels . The noisiest fridge I’ve ever had . Only nice thing is probably the views from balcony Before unpacking we went back to reception to ask if we had been given the correct room as I was so very disappointed in spending extra for a superior room, was told yes ! The kettle was £€20 to hire and towels £€20 and they are so thin and small The food at breakfast is fairly good with lots of choices but the hot food always cold Dinner I don’t find so good, hot food always cold If you go past 7.30pm the desserts are depleted and a mess. Bar food at lunch time is far better and good service Tried the Italian restaurant once but not to our liking and had a few breakfast too but found the unfriendliness of the man in charge very rude The cleanliness is very good everywhere and the maid service in room excellent We found the Germans take priority in this hotel and once a coach load of ppl arrived they dominated the whole dining room making meal times uncomfortable We wouldn’t choose this hotel again

Don't come here for peace and quiet, they put a big speaker near the pool right below our lake view balcony, and they won't turn it off. It seems the new normal here. The dinner is buffet and nothing is hot, I rush to my table and try and eat quickly as possible before it's stone cold. Limone itself is very, Very busy and really there's much better options on the lake - Salo is far nicer. Allow for all ferries to be a half hour late.
