Our new Euro 2-pin plugs only worked in 1 of the many electrical sockets which was a nuisance. The hotel sockets weren't the newest. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Good varied breakfast. Short walk to the centre of Desenzano for the cafes, restaraunts and ferry to Sirmione.

A hidden gem
Great hotel with excellent hosts - Lena and Gabrielle. Upon check in I asked for lake facing room even though I had not booked this room type, my request was granted at no additional cost. Breakfast was excellent as was the service with plenty of choice - cereals, fruit, breads, croissants, eggs, cheeses, ham, juices, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water. Nothing was too much for Lena and Gabrielle who were always present to take care of their customers needs going above and beyond one day to provide my family with a lift to Sirmione (free of charge) when we were unable to get a taxi. Rooms were of a decent size , comfortable beds and with a large bathroom - cleaned excellently on a daily basis. Private beach across the road 20 yards away, restaurant next door to the hotel that you could eat in or takeaway food to eat on the beach (Large pizza and fries 10 euro) or hotel rooftop terrace and next door to the restaurant was a mini market selling cold drinks (water 0.5 euro, Coke/Fanta cans 1.5, cold beer 1.5), sandwiches and snacks. Lots of great restaurants nearby and the ferry terminal is 5 minute walk away with services to numerous villages around the lake. Bus stop facing the ferry terminal. Train station is 15 minute walk away or 8 euro in a taxi. Overall excellent hotel, owners and staff - would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to returning in the near furture. Thanks again. Andy Benbow

We had a wonderful stay. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they put a beautiful bouquet of flowers in our room. Our room was comfortable and overlooked the lake. The hotel is an easy walk into town and the lake ferries. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The buses and taxis weren’t running too often so the owner gave us a ride to the train station, which was so nice of her. Breakfast was very good and there is a great rooftop terrace, overlooking the lake. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Fine for the price.
First visit to Lake Garda, but delighted with the location of hotel. Right opposite the shoreline and very close to the town and all amenities. Great for meals out and generally strolling around. Hotel was basic but clean and tidy, and staff very friendly and obliging. Good value for a budget hotel. Roof terrace gave an excellent view of much of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Would not hesitate to use this hotel or resort again.

Good location
If you're looking for a budget hotel in an excellent location, I would recommend the Aurora. Room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Would recommend trying for a room with a view of the lake. The bathroom looked a little 'tired' but was kept clean and tidy. Great location as ferry, train and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.

Great little find
The hotel is literally just across a small road from the lake, and less than 5 minutes walk from the centre of town. The staff were very friendly, my room was quite big for a single, with a good bathroom, and all very clean. Breakfast was fine, with plenty of different options. There is a terrific roof terrace, where you can sit, with fabulous views of the lake and towards town. Would definitely stay here again.

Receptions were very nice. The room was very clean with a good conditioner. The location was very nice and next to the beach. There were lots of restaurants and bats nearby. It was also 20 minutes walking from train stations, so it was easy to access. I highly recommend staying there.

Decent 3 star in Desenzano, right on Lake Garda
The hotel was in a great location right opposite a section of the lake with a small beach with sun beds and pedalos for hire. Not all rooms have a lake view or balcony but our booking confirmation said we had a lake view so we asked for that and had a room with a view and a balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A big bonus was free parking, and although the parking area became very crowded I think everyone was accommodated, and the parking area was locked at night. Desanzano is a lovely town with lots of flowers, good shops and a great choice of restaurants. From the harbour you can take a ferry to other areas of Lake Garda. In the morning there were lots of lovely spots to enjoy a coffee and relax.

A bit expensive for a 3 star imo
A bit old but ok and clean. Mattress was a bit worn out and too soft in the middle for my taste. Breakfast was ok. The cake they had in the morning was really good, also you can ask for fresh coffee.
