Very nice property for the price. Short walk into town and restaurants close by. Restaurant in the hotel is also good. Bicycles available for free from the hotel so a nice way to get around. Breakfast buffet is just ok. Staff all very helpful. I would stay here again if in the area.

Hotel Riel
A little hotel close to Sirmione. We stayed one night on the way from Milan to Venezia - very convenient. We walked from the hotel to Sirmione and back, but there is a shuttle available. Small room in the hotel, but it was enough space for us for 1 night. A safe in the room, a kettle, and a restaurant - we had breakfast there but not dinner - it was opened from 7pm. We had dinner in Sirmione. There is a grocery store nearby, 200 yards.

Good hotel, excellent service, staff and food.
We stayed here for six nights.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Our room was comfortable, clean and provided all that we required. However the television, although supposedly offering both Italian terestial and satellite channels, did not offer much in english (apart from China National Television news channel in English).
The Al Braciere Restaurant and Pizzeria was excellent for evening meals. Fish and pizzas were first class. Breakfast gave an enormous choice of food, buffet style. More than enough to sed us through until evening!
We stayed in early October. I was slightly disappointed that the pool was completely closed off.
The hotel is situated on the south shore of Lake Garda. It is about a one hour walk to the historic town centre of Sirmione - a very pleasant, mainly lakeside, walk.
I would be very happy to stay here again when visiting Lake Garda.

The Riel Hotel was amazing. It is modern, spacious rooms with balconies, friendly
staff, amazing breakfast each morning, and 10min walk to the castle. They have plenty of free bicycles you can use and we cycled to the castle all along the lake's edge. Beautiful!

5 nights at Lake Garda
Its a great location, not far from the lake front and several nice restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, its possible to walk to the historical centre of Sirmone which we did but the hotel also offers free bike hire! Rooms are spacious, modern and really clean, pool is a nice size for the hotel and never felt overly crowded. The free breakfast was a nice offer and food was nice but we didn't eat there every morning, it didn't appear to be replenished so best to go around 9 or before. All the staff were very friendly and the pizzas at the restaurant were the best we had in the area! The only slightly off putting thing was having to walk through the restaurant and in between diners to exit and enter but that's minor! It would have been nice to have a side entrance for hotel guests. The hotel is very close to a large supermarket and also on the bus route for the main bus to Verona and to go around the south of the lake which was handy! Overall a really nice stay!

We had an awesome stay. The staff were pleasant. Having a restaurant on site was great.
Disappointed that the fridge did not work in the room even though we reported it several times. The excuse from the staff at the hotel was that ‘it was a chiller and not a fridge’. Even so, it was broken and Our food spoiled.

Muito Agradável
Nossa permanência no hotel foi muito curta. Mesmo assim deu para perceber a boa qualidade de tudo que experimentamos: eu, minha mulher, um neto e uma neta. Sirmione é um local fantástico, à beira do Lago de Garda, o maior da Itália, embora um pouco distante do Centro de Verona.
