Best as always

We recently stayed at Lido Palace in Riva del Garda and had a mixed experience. While the hotel’s interior is beautiful and the service (from some staff) commendable, there were serious issues that significantly affected the quality of our stay — particularly due to noise and poor room layout. Noise Disturbances – A Major Problem Our stay coincided with an outdoor music event in the Parco della Miralago, adjacent to the hotel. On 1st August, loud reggae and dub music blasted from 3pm until 2am, featuring acts like Wicked and Bonny, Dreadlionfirestarter, and Blue Zone (DJ Set). This happened two nights in a row, the second featuring techno music. The bass was so loud it ruined the atmosphere at the pool and made it impossible to sleep in the room. We were in Room 101, facing the park, which bore the full brunt of the noise. When we complained to the front desk (Niccolò) at 10:30pm, we were told the event was permitted and nothing could be done. He did come to the room and acknowledged the noise — but there was no prior communication from the hotel about this event. If we had known, we certainly would not have booked at €600 per night. Thankfully, Claudia at reception was much more helpful the next morning and arranged for us to move to Room 110, a deluxe terrace room on the opposite side. Unfortunately, while it was quieter, it overlooked ongoing construction at the Congress Centre. Noise began as early as 7am, and on one morning, we were also woken by grass cutting at 7:45am. At night, late-night voices from the public park were clearly audible even at 3am. In short, noise is a serious issue, whether your room faces the park (east) or the Congress Centre (west). South-facing rooms toward the lake may be quieter, but even then, very tall trees can obstruct the view. Always check for local events before booking. ⸻ Room Impressions Room 101 – Deluxe Garden View A disappointing stay. Despite being 45 sq. metres, the layout is poorly designed: • The shower is fully glassed and awkwardly placed near the entrance. • A huge amount of space is taken by the bathroom and bathtub, leaving the bed area cramped. • The wardrobe and safe are inconveniently placed at the far end of the room. • No dressing mirror near the bed. • Towels were stored in the toilet, not near the shower. • The terrace is small and uninviting, especially in bad weather. Overall, we do not recommend Room 101 or any of the “Deluxe Garden” or “Design Garden” rooms. Room 110 – Deluxe Terrace with Whirlpool A much better layout: • Smaller overall, but more user-friendly. • Bed faces the large windows, with mountain and side lake views. • Bathroom layout is more compact and practical. • The shared terrace offers lovely views, but also includes a direct view of the Congress construction site. • Sun reaches the terrace only after 1:30pm, and due to frosted glass dividers, there is no forward view when seated. ⸻ Pool, Spa & Common Areas • Outdoor pool area gets sun in t
