“Great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Abacus. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean, the rooms spacious and the air conditioning individually controlled. My children loved the pool and were made to feel welcome. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to shops and restaurants but tucked away on a side street, so not at all noisy. Sirmione town is a pleasant 20 minute walk away and the lake ia very close by too. The hotel has bikes you can hire, but hiring a car is definately the best way to get around. The breakfast was very good, plenty of choice with delicious fresh fruit, rolls, croisants, pastries, cakes, ham, cheese etc, etc. I certainly look forward to staying at the Abacus again.

“I would stay there again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed for 2 nights in a family room. The rooms were Ok (bunk bed is a little minus), although we could only use the smallest balcony due to technical trouble beyond repair..? The garage is small and steep, only suited for small cars or cars with high clearance underneath. The staff was friendly, and opened the pool early on request (normally it opens at 10). A bit expensive, but Italy always is. The taxi to Sirmione was quick and not too expensive. It's not far to walk to a supermarket and a pizzarestaurant either.

“Not close enough for the price!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We booked this hotel thinking it would be close to the main attractions, but sadly we were miles from the Fort and main attractions. It took 45mins to walk, as there is no regular buses. The walk itself isnt a bad one, but for the price of a room I really expected a little more to be nearby. The bus to Verona was over an hour, so it was not really a great location.
There are pizzerias nearby which are nice to eat in, but really there was not much to do here and we found ourselves a bit lost for a few days. Although a day trip to Verona was great, and a 45min boat trip around Sirmione was refreshing.

The hotel itself was nice, just basic, what we needed. beds were comfy, tv, nice shower and bathroom, little balcony. It was nice. But for the price, they could have added either a basic breakfast or something more appealling to make it worth the money.

“Nobody ever told them to, "Put your best foot forward!"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

This hotel is a bit of a dive. Our room stank very badly. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the plumbing because there was a plug in the drain of the sink and the shower, and the room stank to high-heaven. The grout within the tiles in the bathroom was either cracked, or missing all-together, and there was a hint of mildew. The bathroom was tiny, and the fixtures are easily 30 years old. We told the staff about the smell, and their excuse was to blame it on the "terme", whatever that means. It has something to do with public works. It was so bad that we had to sleep with our window open, and keep the bathroom door shut in order to be able to live with the smell at all. My wife and I refused to shower in the bathroom due to the fact that ours smelled so bad, and was so old and nasty that we didn't want to touch anything for fear of contracting a communicable disease.

Today we checked out, and it turned out to be a summation of the whole establishment. I utilized the lobby bathroom, and the toilet would not flush properly, and the flushing actuator was broken. This is the first customers see, and to have it in this poor condition says a lot, as does the dilapidated sign in the front of the hotel. The letters are peeling off, and it is oxidized so badly that the black background is nearly white. Also, the elevator is broken, and it appears as though it has been for a very long time.

For breakfast, you can count on one thing, ham and swiss cheese! We stayed 4 nights, and this was the standard.

I am not a picky person. I just returned from a one year combat tour in war-torn Afghanistan, and stayed in many places there that were better than the Abacus in Sirmione, Garda, Italy.

Lastly, the self labeled 3-star rating is bogus. I would give them 1.5, tops!

In all, I highly discourage you from staying at this establishment for I believe that your hard earned currency would be much better appreciated elsewhere.

“Great reception, average rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

The best part of this hotel was the reception - they helped us throughout the entire stay, giving us restaurant recommendations and showing us exactly where to go to see the old town and attractions. The breakfast was also quite good, with a selection of pastries, yogurts, breads, fruit, and cereals. Hot coffee drinks and tea are also offered.
Rooms were just ok. They had the basics and a balcony, which was nice to relax on at nice. My only complaint would be the odd smell - the hotel smelled a bit of fruity cleaner and our bathroom smelled a little like waste. It was still clean, as far as we could tell!
Also, the location is a little bit of a hike to the old town especially if it is hot, so consider the bus or driving if you want to go to the old town.
Overall, pretty good quality for value.
