Majestic Palace

The good: Upgraded to a nice quiet room when we arrived (Deluxe I thnk) overlooking the main swimming pool. Very nice of them to do this. Great facilities, nice pools and loads of activities especially for kids such as mini golf etc. There's even a very nice indoor pool. Nice food in hotel and some restaurants nearby. Nice breakfast options, self service. Shuttle bus to centre of Malcesine. 18 minute walk down to the cable car. The not so good: Shuttle bus (basically a large taxi) only operated until after 6pm, you option to get to and from the hotel then is either on foot or there is a bus which costs €2. Thing is, most times we went to centre of Malcesine was in the evening when it was cooler. The problem was the walk back.20+ minute walk up hill. Or try and get the bus, which could be packed. The hotel is very much oriented towards German families with children. The pools were very busy most days. Near our room there are these circular pools nearby, one of them is a jacuzzi. Kids were playing on inflatables even in the jacuzzi. I'm not sure I'd fully recommend this hotel to couples looking for a romantic break. The staff in the bar.. some strange behaviour. My wife said we were in to look at the pizza menu and we were shuffled between 3 different people, then told no you need to eat the pizza in a different area, then told no you need to eat it in this particular part of this area. Very strange. I found that some of the staff in the bar area had an attitude. Overall though I recommend this hotel, especially for families with children. Just be mindful that if you plan to walk to the centre of Malcesine it is 20+ minutes, and the walk back is up hill.

We have enjoyed one week at Majestic Palace in Malcesine. Weather was constantly changing but we have been on excursions in every day. Verona, Sirmione, wine tasting, Arco, Trento and at Monte Baldo. The hotel was good and the staff was very professional and provided excellent Service.

4 of us stayed in one of the Junior suites for 3 nights, 2 adults 2 kids and have to say this is a great hotel with loads for kids and adults alike. Check in took ages for some reason but you are given tokens for a free welcome glass of prosecco which is a nice touch. The room we stayed in was modern in comparison to the rooms in the main hotel itself and it situated behind the main hotel. For the 4 of us there was one double bed and 2 singles pushed together by the door into the room. All the beds are in the same room. The shower was located in the main room at the back by the separate bathroom which is a bit strange and offered little privacy when showering. Overall the room was great and the beds were very comfortable and the aircon was excellent, there was a mini fridge in the room which was really handy also. The wifi throughout the hotel and grounds is excellent as well which is a big bonus when you have kids with you. There so much to do here for kids with several pools including a kiddies pool which was never crowded. There's mini golf, tennis, several play areas and a ballpit/enclosed play area however this needs a bit of TLC as was quite dusty when our kids went in. There's a very active kids club and kids entertainment every evening also which was great. The gym for adults wasn't really a gym just a few machines but the indoor pool next to the gym was excellent and always empty. The food was OK with lunch being your usual pizza, pasta burgers etc. In the evening you have a choice of just pizzas or salads in the bar or you can pay €23 per adult and €13 per kid for a buffet dinner. We tried the buffet one night and the food was extremely average; chewy pork chops, dry pizza and average beef stroganoff. You are better off sticking to the pizzas in the bar. The breakfast is top notch with a massive selection on order and we enjoyed it every morning. I found service in the bar difficult sometimes with some of the staff not understanding what we were looking for but a special shout out goes to Sarah And Abigail who looked after us really well when we were there. As mentioned in previous reviews location here is not very walking friendly so we relies on taxis most of the time to get into Malcesine, €10 each was for the 7 of us so not bad! Would I stay here again, yes 100%.
