Communications prior to arrival regarding the check-in procedure were thorough and clear.
Location is central, you can’t get anymore central than it!
Room was comfortable. Snacks provided daily were a really nice touch.
I highly recommend this place for staying.
A suggestion might be to have a bin in the room, in addition to the small one in the bathroom.

Fantastically situated hotel in the heart of the old town. Views over the lake are wonderful. Staff are kind and welcoming, we were looked after extremely well. We loved our breakfast each morning which was always freshly prepared. Morning pastries were a particular treat. Our room was cleaned daily and we had a lovely, private view over the lake. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Quirky hotel in a great location between the Arena and Juliet’s balcony.
My single room was spacious with everything I needed. The bed was definitely bigger than a single! The welcome drink was a nice touch on arrival.
Breakfast was a buffet with a good variety of hot and cold food. The hotel was very busy though!

This is our second visit to Opera Relais de Charme and it's been another full ratings visit.
The appartment is so close to the main points of interest. Also in a restriced area for most car traffic.
We used the train to visit Lake Garda and with an all day ticket travelled via hyrofoil to explore many towns. Take to the mountains via cable car.
Look down from 1,790 metres to the lake. You can train from Verona to Venice or Milan.
When we visit again we plan to use Verona airport. It's not ...

The view from room 602 (Mini-Suite) was jaw dropping and enhanced by the cloudless blue sky, mill pond view of the lake and a backdrop of the mountains with snow caps.
Hotel staff were exceptional in their attention to detail from the staff at reception and throughout the facility to the unsung heroes who ensured our stay was without any low points.
Beautiful room which was of an exeptional standard which wanted for nothing.

Although not on the lake front the hotel is very close to the town (less than 5 minutes walk). From the imbarcadero most of the rest of the lake can be reached (managed to get to Riva del Garda, Limone sul Garda, Salo and Sirmione during my stay). The train station is also close make trips to other towns such as Verona and Mantua very accessible.

Lovely room, good storage,. Balcony for summer use. Lovely walk-in shower. Staff extremely pleasant and accommodating. They all spoke excellent English. Lake view and less than 100 metres from centre of town with restaurants etc. Couldn't fault it.

Really great feeling about hotel. Staff particularly helpful and friendly. Can you book me a taxi?. Can you find me a decent restaurant? Can I have extra towels?. Everything answered quickly and politely, some five star hotels would do well to be this polite. If you are used to five star hotels, this will not disappoint. Rooms very clean, good size, pool beds really excellent, food and drinks excellent and very reasonably priced.

Different people will require different things from their hotel; research is key.
I read up that this hotel was within the courtyard of the 'Balcony of Juliet' and that it would be busy downstairs, and that there was no dining room so breakfast would be served in room. Google maps showed that it is fairly central in the old part of the city.
The entrance hall is deceiving as to what awaits; rooms look out either over the street towards the Piazza delle Erbe (as mine did), or over the Juliet...

We stayed here for 3 nights for part of our honeymoon. It definitely is 5 star. The room was fantastic and I would recommend booking a room with a lake view if possible. The view from our balcony was amazing. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and the staff were very friendly.
