We stayed here one night on our way to Italy. At arrival no one was there to welcome us but envelope with key was present. We had a 6 pers room for 4 so spacious room but very basic. It was also quite hot in the room. Bathroom and toilet were on the hall, basic but clean. For diner it was recommended to go to the Osteria 200m from the hotel. But what a nice restaurant!! We would recommend it to everyone. And the view from the hotel was also nice on laggo maggiore. A small playground for the kids next to the hotel available. Conclusion: good hotel for one night.

“Good value for money. Great view!”
Friendly staff, good breakfast. The restaurant is good, very tasty food. It has a hostel vibe but for the price, it's great. Better to have a car... not central. Very spacious showers. The view from the terrace is fantastic!

this is the second time I stayed at San Bernardo. as my budget was limited this time, I booked a room in the appendix house. This room is very basic with shower and toilet on the floor and can’t be compared to the room quality in the old building. My room also had a lot of moscitos unfortunately. However, the restaurant is very good with its beautiful terrace. To enjoy this location, I highly recommend a room in the old building.
