We had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel, perfectly located just steps from the Monte Baldo cable car — an ideal base for exploring beautiful Malcesine. My room was simple yet very comfortable, with a balcony that opened up to stunning views of the castle, mountains, and lake. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the surroundings. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was generous and delicious — we especially loved the fresh bread, cakes, and the big hunk of parmesan cheese! My family and I had a truly lovely experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Malcesine.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Eco Hotel Ariston in Malcesine. The hotel has a perfect location with stunning views from the rooms. The garden is beautifully maintained, featuring a hot tub, swings, and loungers – a perfect place to relax. Parking is conveniently located right next to the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was rich, delicious, and served on the terrace or in the lovely garden. The cleanliness of the hotel is at a very high level. We will definitely come back!

The hotel is quite small so felt lovely and personal. The staff were all amazing and always there to answer any questions. The setting is great in the center of Malcesine so we were able to park the car in the underground car park and walk everywhere. The terrace and garden were perfect for a leisurely breakfast. We will definitely recommend this hotel and return.

The water temperature was sometimes not as hot as we would have liked for showering, but this wasn't a big problem. Pillows were a little firm.

Stayed here for my daughter’s wedding week. We could see the castle where she was married from our balcony as well as stunning views of the lake. Breakfast was nice with plenty of choice. The location was great, really close to the centre and quaint little bars and restaurants. The staff were very helpful and polite. All in all we had a perfect week and will definitely return to this hotel and Malcesine.

Nothing

Wow, If you are all about the views, this hotel is a must book!! The view of the castle and lake were spectacular. The pictures are just as it is in real life. The front desk staff was very friendly and even gave my mom a small gift when she found out we were celebrating her birthday. I WILL be staying here again. The breakfast was really good and enjoyed in the outdoor area/garden. I had my dog with me (70lbs Husky) and there were no issues, she was welcomed! I stayed on the 2nd floor (budget room) which was better than expected. My family stayed on the top floor and had an even better panoramic view. Either choice is well worth it!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great. We were comfortable, and even though our room was near the front desk, we weren't disturbed by any noise or guests coming and going. I had been carrying around an engagement ring and proposed in the garden. We loved that space and will always remember our stay in Malcesine. Thank you

Typical American complaint here. We would pay for more ice, stronger air conditioning, etc. But that's a small price to pay.

The property is updated and thoughtfully designed and has a spectacular view - seriously it’s amazing! We appreciated the hosts and also all the staff were friendly and we felt welcome. The location is just down the hill from the cable car and across the road is the old beautiful town. The breakfast is fantastic, so many yummy things to choose!

Amazing hotel--Amazing Staff--Amazing Location. The three things that made our Malcesine stay perfect. The Hotel is clean, safe and beautiful with a nice garden inviting you to enjoy a hammock or sit in a padded chaise. It was cool this time of year, but definitely a bonus when it is warmer--very peaceful. Upgrade your room, and you get a view of the Castle outside your window. The rooms have excellent doors / windows that allow airflow, and the blinds can completely block out the sun if you want to sleep, but let air in. BREAKFAST!! OMG, it is excellent. Fresh pastries; eggs; toast; cereal; yogurt; assorted meats all you want. Coffee is plentiful and many choices from cappuccino to espresso shots. The staff. Max was awesome at check in, and got us a taxi for a day trip to Venice. He made it easy and didn't give up after 2 companies didn't answer the phone. The breakfast ladies are professional, polite and serve you well. They spoke about 4 languages that I heard and seamlessly transition between them to get you what you need with a smile. The Location. Less than a football field from the main shopping area; a 2 minute walk to the castle; a short walk to the Monte Baldo lift and amazing bakery. You can't beat the location and the hotel for the value.

Im a weight lifter type guy, and could use a slightly larger shower. No complaints otherwise and I found that the facilities here were better than others we stayed in while in Italy. So I can't say I "didn't like it". At first blush, I thought it was small. Then I realized it was good to go!

The decor was very highly done throughout The Breakfast were fantastic so much choice & great coffee choices too

Didn’t like the fact we didn’t get the room that was in the photo’s when we booked the hotel back in September 2023 We was given a small double room (room 6) & paying for a superior room which we thought we was getting like the photos shows above & on the web page when we booked the room.

The location was fantastic, the breakfast was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the view from my room/ balcony was spectacular ( the hotel garden, the town buildings, then the castle and the mountains beyond). I stayed in six places in five locations in Italy, and this was by far my favorite. I highly recommend it.
