Borgo il Mezzanino in Salo

The experience starts right away by being greeted on several occasions in German, sadly a bit symptomatic of southern areas in Lake Garda.
1. We’re not Germans
2. We’re in Italy

We paid 225€ a night with a discount fee, our empathy goes to clients who paid plain price.

Let’s be honest, the environment where the hotel is located is beautiful, the garden is perfectly well curated, we wish the same effort was put into the rooms.

The walls are super thin, you can hear your neighbours as if you were staying in a cheap hotel along a highway. The mattresses are perhaps the most outrageous.
Inconsistent to the point where you either end up having your feet outside the bed sheets and your back hurts in the morning because you basically end up digging a whole in it.

We had ants in the sheets and the bathroom was borderline clean.
Water flow from the shower is not constant, so you have to be patient.
Cherry on the cake, the cleaning lady left a wet towel on my pullover! Bravo.

You have to write down what you will have for breakfast the next morning. I get the idea, but we’re paying 225€ a night, continental buffet is the standard. Congratulations to the man doing the job (almost) alone, super friendly and professional.

They display lots of activities and amenities but the pool is 4,5 square meters and the spa is a whopping 95€ extra, only under reservation!
Not to mention that we had to look ourselves for these activities, nothing except the spa was mentioned when checking in.

We manifested our discontent the first day, but did not receive any kind of support except a suggestion to book the suite, for 500€ a night (HA! No way).

You’ve guessed it, quality/price ratio is definitely not at the rendez-vous. We felt robbed. Do not recommend, won’t be back anytime soon.
