    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Quirky and unique, the Maximilian sits just across the road from stunning Lake Garda, and it's a short walk along the promenade to the centre of Bardolino.

    The hotel has 38 modern rooms and is perfect for couples and families. It's been well praised for its high class hospitality and friendly staff. Care and attention has gone into the decoration of the hotel - with its brightly coloured walls and furnishings, which blend modern and vintage, you’ll know you’ve picked a hotel with personality. Some unique ceilings decorated with doors may turn your holiday upside-down.

    Bikes seem to be a focal point at the Maximilian, with bicycle frames of all shapes, colours and sizes used throughout the décor - from wall art to propping up bathroom sinks. It's a a lovely touch that brings this hotel to life. And along with this theme, hotel guests are able to rent bikes for free on a first come, first serve basis.

    There are several hotels named Maximilian around Lake Garda. As well as here in Bardolino, you'll also find a Hotel Maximilian in Malcesine. Please check that the resort you have chosen is the one you intend to visit when you make your booking.

    Just so you know, a tourist tax is payable locally in cash. This will be approximately €1 per person, per night.

    We have just got home after a 7 night stay at Hotel Maximilian, and we would not hesitate to stay again if we were to visit the area. The staff were friendly, and were on hand to answer and questions or queries we had throughout our stay, whether that was to do with the hotel itself, or the local area and activities. The hotel offer some free excursions including Kayaking on the lake, a hike up the Rocco, or a bike tour of some local vineyards. These are definitely worth taking advantage of! The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, with a unique and quirky feel added by the decor. The only issue we had was that the air con didn’t seem to work the first night we stayed, however this was soon sorted! A continental breakfast is offered, with some great selection and I’m sure there will be something to please everyone. Breakfast ends at 10:30 which I find is longer than some places we have stayed, so definitely allows you to have a little lie in if required! Pool area was nice and clean, with sufficient sun loungers on offer throughout the day, so no need to place your towel down at the crack of dawn! Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.
    An undefinable hotel!

    Well this hotel is certainly unique....where to start? Reception desk is made up totally of stacked suitcases from yesteryear! In the entrance vintage motorcycles,bicycles and a Singer sewing machine adorn the area. Immediately you know that this is no ordinary hotel. Corridors to your room contain equally antique items. However the charm of the hotel begins to manifest itself! Hotel Maximilian is a top of the range 3* Not quite a 4*.Staff are excellent, from management to housekeepers. They will go to any lengths to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Rooms are clean and well maintained.In accordance with the quirkiness of the hotel the shower unit is in your room and not separate.Curtains can be drawn for privacy! There is an ample supply of teas, coffees and water. Outside there is a large balcony with table and chairs. Food-brilliant.Breakfast offers a wide range of continental meats,cheeses,croissants,omelette/scrambled eggs,hard boiled eggs,jams and fresh fruit.All supervised by smiley staff.Had dinner in the hotel on one occasion which was superb and reasonably priced. A lovely swimming pool with sufficient loungers meant there was no need to get up at dawn and place the 'usual' towels! Downside,as a previous reviewer mentioned, whilst there is a bar the hotel lacks a suitable lounge.Its for this reason I couldn't rate it a star higher. If the reader wants reassurance about staying at the Maximilian-have no fears you will enjoy it.My wife, adult daughter and myself did!
    Perfect!

    Quirky yes, but clean, friendly and relaxing are other key words. Nice airy rooms and the shower being in there is not an issue. Sheets changed at least twice a week, towels daily. Air conditioning and big balconies making for a comfortable stay. Second floor rooms best for views. Nice pool area with a good pool for swimming, plenty of beds and very quiet. Bikes can also hired from the hotel; free with a refundable deposit. Breakfast is plentiful and the restaurant for a meal is superb. All staff very friendly and helpful. Directly across the road from the lake and on the outskirts of Bardolino but the centre is only a 15 minute walk along the lake. Cisano 5 mins away is gorgeous and Lasize which is a bus ride away is stunning. Try to visit them all. But please owners; offer a courtesy room for guests with late check outs. Also, don’t keep the birds in cages, some are too big to be in there.
