Hotel Antico Borgo

Nice breakfast, clean rooms, great location, but no parking available near hotel, so need to carry everything by hand

The location is perfect, also the rooms really good. But we booked breakfast and then also included food in the evening. This was a disaster, gnocchi ok, late tuna tasteless, boiled cold potatoes tasteless, fruit cut by a 5 year old. Think it was my worst restaurant visit ever.

Very clean hotel, very simple & modern. We were part of a large family group and all of us had the same experience… not enough towels for all of us in the room even though we paid for each of us to stay there. Then, 3 days in a row, we had to request towels, soap & shampoo as none are given during the daily maid service, and they still didn’t bring us any. We finally gave up! This was a disappoin**ent, especially given how much we paid to stay there. Nice location, nice hotel, wonderful breakfast, but poor in-room service.

THE ROOM: large and spacious room overlooking a pedestrianised street (room 304), with views from our large balcony over rooftops and the Bastione. Electronic safe and a mini fridge available. No charge for the safe. No ironing board or iron available but not a major problem as we brought a mini travel iron having read other reviews. Clean and spacious modern bathroom with shower (great water pressure!), no bath but this wasn't an issue for us personally. Housekeeping was spot on, lovely clean sheets and towels everyday. FOOD: I found breakfast and dinner quite average but my husband rated it a little higher. Mainly cold foods in the morning, hot food consisted only of bacon and egg, sometimes sausages. Otherwise very continental. Service from Eduardo and Natasha was second to none, they were brilliant. Very attentive and friendly. OTHER: There is a solarium on the top floor with fantastic views over the lake, a number of sunbeds and seating areas available. Often very quiet up there when we visited. LOCATION: Large supermarket less than a 10 minute walk away and a huge number of restaurants, cafes and ice cream shops within metres. We had the best time!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The hotel has an excellent location and is close to plenty of shops and restaurants. It is also close to the ferry port and a few lovely pebbled beaches that were great for taking a dip in the lake. Our room was spotlessly clean with daily maid service. The staff were lovely and always very helpful. We had an early pick up on our last day and an early breakfast was provided which was a nice touch. We were half board - breakfast and evening meal were both excellent. There was a nice variety to choose from and the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to visit again in the future.

The hotel is very well situated in the old town of Riva and a very short walk from the main square / harbour. As part of the old town, the hotel has a quirky design (e.g. 2 separate unconnected lifts to access our room when carrying cases), but the room itself was a nice layout with plenty of space, although some minor sprucing up could be beneficial (eg. Fridge door had come away from the facia). The hotel has a nice sun terrace on the roof, which we made use of. We were bed and breakfast, and the breakfasts were continental plus a couple of options for scrambled eggs and bacon. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful during our stay. Overall if your looking for a hotel with character in the old town, this is a good option.
