Torbole is a lovely little town on the edge of the more mountainous North end of Lake Garda. It is not as commercial as the famous locations around the lake, but just as pretty and has a good bus service. The hotel is set back just 150 meters from the Lake beyond the useful shops and petrol garage. The Hotel... More

Just back from a Leger coach holiday called "Scenic Splendour of Lake Garda". We stayed 4 nights at the La Vela and found it more than adequate in every way. Breakfast was a cold buffet but with plenty of choice. Evening meals varied from day to day, but were always enjoyable. One evening we had 5 courses, and we were... More

Myself and partner have stayed at numerous hotels around Lake Garda over the years and considering the money we paid, I think that Club Hotel La Vela offers good value. 4* hotels there may not be to the same standard as 4* hotels in the UK or Spain but then the prices generally reflect that. Last year we paid nearly... More

This hotel is pretty average, but certainly not as bad as some reviews suggest. Our room, in a separate block, was very comfortable, well furnished and clean. The rest of the hotel is slightly tired - for example, the reception area - but it is nevertheless clean. The food was fairly good - not out of this world, but quite... More

Recently returned from a 7 night stay at Club hotel la Vela. We thought we had been upgraded to a 4 star offering comfortable furnishings and delicious cuisine. How wrong this was! Grubby entrance mat was the start of things to come. Poorly maintained marked walls and dark corridors. Our room continued this theme. Dodgy TV on table from 1970's... More

Stayed here for one night on a group tour recently. We were mostly marched out of the main hotel around the back to what was like backpackers accommodation. Even though the rooms were roomy and had balconies the building had that grubby feel about it, including the rooms. The bedspreads would have to be at least 50 years old. Just... More

Just back home from a seven day stay at this hotel. Like one of the other reviewers we thought we were going to Riva Del Garda, Centrale Hotel only to be told on the coach that we would be staying in Torbole. When we arrived we were sent to the Annex. I've never seen anything like it. Butlins was four... More

We have just returned after spending four days of our touring holiday at this hotel. On arrival it looks just as it claims to be a budget hotel, the lobby, bar and dining room looked smart and presentable, good start. The lift opened to reveal a very grubby floor carpet, ok so its a lift. On arrival on the first... More

Having done many trips to Italy, I can honestly say this is the worst hotel by a long way I have ever stayed at, Anywhere. Reception staff helpful as much as possible, but our party had many grievances. My room had blood on walls by light switches, filthy walls, bedding felt damp although clean. Shower head sprayed everywhere bar on... More
