I have just got back from a week in Lake Garda with my Mum. We booked it very cheapily through a Guardian holiday offer and so to be honest were not expecting much. However we were very pleasantly suprised. For a three star hotel - it really was excellent. The room had amazing views of the lake, very clean, and... more

What can I say ? If you want chips every night - this is the place for you! Sprouts and french beans left over from the night before were put in the salad the next day! No choice, but scrambled egg and frankfurters for breakfast every day. The 'free' wine on offer with your evening meal is vile, so don't... more

Had booked into the Cristina but were upgraded to the San Pietro. Due to the Cristina being closed for the winter break. Very clean room but small. Fantastic views of the lake and mountains. Room very basic but clean with tea/coffee making facility. Restaurant airy and reasonable choice of self serve dishes with free wine and soft drinks. As week... more

Very beautiful views especially if you have a balcony facing lake garda. Rooms were good with a fridge, electric kettle, television (limited programmes) clean and plenty of room. One problem was the walls are very thin and every noise can be heard, we moved rooms after he second day because of a neighbours excessive snoring. Plenty of choice with the... more

My wife and I read the reviews on the Cristina before we booked and after a great week can't believe the (minority) negative feedback from some visitors. Our experiences were all positive. The Crisitna is a large hotel with ample room for relaxing either on open terraces or within several enclosed lounges. It is in an elevated position with great... more

It was very hard to find any faults with this hotel. As we booked over 12 months in advance, we were upgraded to a superior room. The view from the shared terrace was absolutely breathtaking. The evening buffet was excellent, usually a carvery plus several different meat, pasta and fish dishes. We booked the a la carte restaurant one evening... more

Hotel Christina is very much the poorer cousin of the Hotel San Pedro with which it shares the reception, a small pool and sandwhiches during the day. Evening meals you are politely directed to go back to your own hotel by a burly guy wearing a suit (in other words a bouncer!). For some reason the whole of the hotel... more

I submitted an entry about 4 years ago I think it is on page 3. We have just returned from our second holiday this year at the Cristina. We were there in June and that was our ninth visit. The hotel shares its site with the Hotel San Pietro ( 4 Star) and most of the facilities are shared. The... more

I was worried after previous reviews however I must say most of them were wrong, yes it is on a hill--what a surprise in the mountains!, the views from our balcony were breathtaking. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Take a tip and upgrade to the Gourmet menu at no extra charge--book the previous night by... more
