Hotels near Palazzo del Podesta, Bergamo

Good points - communal areas clean and tidy. Vitoria on reception nice. Large bedroom looked like it was recently Decorated. Big bed and soft pillows. Enough electric sockets. Good shower. Soundproof, although there's always someone who has to slam their door. Breakfast good. All the usual. Bread, ham, cheese, yoghurt, fruit eggs etc. Bit manic at times. Bad points. Bedroom wasn't cleaned and bed wasn't made one day. Another day we weren't left with a spare toilet roll. Our towels were never folded and just left in a heap on the rail. Never given any milk in room for coffee. We haf a shared balcony, but if we went on it, you could see staight into another bedroom, on the corner. Thick slimy brown muck at bottom of shower. It was never clear off in the 9 nights we were there. Without effort, I cleared a bit off with a tissue. It was disgusting. Area is good and not run down considering its by the station

The hotel is generally satisfied, the neighborhood is more prosperous, many shops, you can go out. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the train station, the front desk service is very good, the front desk lady is very warm.

We would certainly come back over and over. We were only here for one evening but everything was perfect. I wish there would be a microwave otherwise you can find everything you need in there and it's extremely clean. The bed felt AMAZING.

Stayed here for two nights. Had stayed before in the “old town” area of Bergamo which was lovely. This area would be considered “run down”. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the main town for coffee shops, restaurants etc. Previous reviews commented how welcoming, friendly, helpful etc the reception staff were but I didn’t get that experience. Reception area is right inside the door so it can be crowded arriving and leaving with luggage, prams etc. Room was adequately spaced. Could have been given extra towels (three for a single room is basic), also needed a fridge and water glasses etc in the room. Floors could have been hoovered so make sure you wear slippers (not included in the room)! Didn’t include breakfast in my stay and glad I didn’t cos the selection looked limited. This hotel is fine for a short stay but perhaps look elsewhere if staying for longer.

The experience is very good, the reception is very warm, the environment is very good, the drinks in the freezer, snacks are free, ha, I can’t believe it →_→If next time, I will choose here, but the airport to the hotel is still quite a twist. The taxis didn’t pay the meter. Several drivers asked whether the hotel was in Bergamo or out of Bergamo. As Luca didn’t provide detailed information about the city area, I thought it was close to Bergamo Airport and I thought it was in Bergamo. As a result, the driver sent us to an apartment, and then to the hotel, which was equal to the price of a double. The taxi cost 50 Euros, which is the most uncomfortable point.

I arrived into Bergamo airport at just after 1am, the taxi drivers outside were like sharks in a feeding frenzy on the poor unsuspecting arrivals...I went to the front of the line of cars as is usual practice, the driver asked where I was going and then started shouting out to the other drivers, pointed out another car and told me to go there..as a woman travelling alone I am careful..I told the driver there was already someone in his car...turns out they pack you in ! Three of us, me the first drop, 2 minutes later and we arrive at my hotel, 20 euros ! Minimum charge apparently ! What a con ! Opened my curtains the following morning after no sleep due to air con set at a boiling 22 degrees! The airport is directly opposite the hotel across a major road ! The next day I walked to the airport up the road via an underpass (I wouldn't have done this at night on my own but a man checking in at reception had done) The room was basic and drab, decorated...I use the phrase lightly...bland and hostel like ! No pictures, old,tired and dull furniture...depressing...oh and NO TEA TRAY ! In the small fridge which I was amazed had been inserted into this awful room devoid of any personality or comfort, had one can of coke and two bottles of water...priced at 3.50 euro each ! I did mention on check out my displeasure of the missing tea tray and the lovely receptionist informed me the standard rooms don't have tea trays, I paid £142 for one person for one night without breakfast ! I honestly believe a tea tray is a basic requirement, also at least one bottle of complimentary water, I have self catering places and provide all of this ! I will not be staying in this awful place again.

There's not enough good words that can be said about the skills and training of the front desk staff, the breakfast servers, the evening dining room staff, and the housekeeping ladies. I am what is now being referred to as a ”Digital Nomad,” single, solo and senior traveler... and this hotel really fits my needs. Sure it could be €10 cheaper, but the room has an excellent long work countertop, WiFi Internet, large bed for sleep and for organizing travel bags, bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower correctly designed for use, and the food service is quite amazing. While you do need to take the taxi to most places, unless you drive, there is a major shopping mall just across the highway, and an unadvertised underground tunnel to get to the other side of the road and to that shopping center! I am not a fancy restaurant person, but the restaurant accommodates me with a very simple selection of food by my request. Both at breakfast and at dinner, the dining room is usually packed with happy diners and eaters. While I sit there with my simple food selection at dinner, I do admire the variety of Italian dishes that are ordered by other diners. Maybe I can't eat the spicy food but it sure looks good! And the other guests are very happy! I have used the Hotel's driver to taxi me to and from a variety of locations: BGY airport, Bergamo train Station, as well as the Covid vaccination center! He can be booked by SMS text and WhatsApp. Extremely easy to communicate with- both digitally and in multiple languages. The hotel is off the beaten track, therefore the taxi rides are going to be 10 additional euro from what might be expected in more urban areas. This is one of my more favorite hotels of any brand. While I rate the location as poor because you need to drive to get almost anywhere, the remoteness of the location is in itself a plus if you are residing here for more than just an overnight, because the landscaping is simple yet comforting, and major parking is underground.

Siamo stati in questa struttura per una notte, scelta per la vicinanza a Leolandia. Devo dire che il personale è stato molto gentile e l’hotel si presenta bene, con camera tripla ampia. Ma ci sono due però: -la nostra aria condizionata non funzionava quindi prima di uscire per cena (sapevamo che al nostro rientro non ci sarebbe stato Nessuno in reception) ci siamo rivolti alla ragazza che controllando ha notato che effettivamente era spenta dal generale quindi ha riattivato e noi con tutta tranquillità siamo usciti per cena. Al nostro rientro la camera era ancora senza aria condizionata, quindi siamo tornati a cercare qualcuno. Un signore, penso il guardiano di notte, ha provato a farlo partire ma nulla quindi gentilmente ci ha portato un ventilatore per la notte. La mattina abbiamo riferito l’accaduto e ci hanno fatto uno sconto del 20%. -colazione pessima. Non c’era niente, solo una ragazza che doveva sparecchiare i tavoli, portare il buffet, chiedere ai clienti cosa desideravano da bere e portarle ai tavoli. Abbiamo atteso 20 min per mangiare qualcosa e mezz’ora per 2 cappuccini. Troppo poco personale per l’ora della colazione. Mi dispiace perché veramente il posto è bello e accogliente e il personale molto gentile, ma non ci torneremo!
