Hotel Alexander

We had 4 night break at Hotel Alexander in late October and got an upgrade to a "junior suite" - I suspect because it was very near the end of the season and the hotel had few guests. Nice big room, odd bathroom set up (shower cubicle and sink sited in main room, not in separate bathroom) but didn't really bother us. Fantastic views of Lake Garda and the Alps from bedroom's patio doors but the big downside was not having a private balcony - all the rooms opened onto a communal verandah, which meant you could not have the net curtains open, and as we had chain-smoking neighbours, we could rarely sit outside either! Total lack of privacy which was really not to our taste. Also, although the room was spacious with 2 double beds, they were the most uncomfortable we have ever slept in! The breakfast was also not great - the usual continental selection but small storm flies were in abundance and nothing was covered up - very unhygienic! Also, no choice of eggs, just scrambled which were bizarrely offered up on individual plates and were only luke warm. Also, if you were early to breakfast, the cook did not bother to cook any eggs until more people appeared. But overall a nice hotel, very clean rooms and very handy to walk down into Limone.
