Positive Reviews
positive:
Great for Bergamo alta, bassa and in-between
Guests felt that this hotel was well-situated for access to the funicular that connects Bergamo's older upper (or alta) city to its more modern lower (or bassa) area. This location enabled visitors to zip back and forth between the two points with ease and many were also pleased to note that the property is within easy reach of a number of local restaurants.
positive:
Great city views, overall comfort
Based on guest reviews, a number of rooms at this property boasted great views of Bergamo and even the foothills of the Alps. In addition to the nice scenery, visitors felt that the accommodation here was rather cozy and comfortable, with many reporting good sleep quality.
positive:
Excellent breakfast buffet
The breakfast buffet was noted by many to be the favourite aspect of their stays. A variety of meats, cheeses, breads and pastries plus good-quality coffee served to impress a number of guests.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Oddly dated rooms
The public areas of this property are modern and sleek, so the dated - but serviceable - guest rooms came as something of a shock to quite a lot of guests. Some commented that the contrast was odd, if not jarring.
negative:
Hard pillows
Despite many reporting great stays, the oddly hard pillows featured in guest rooms were an amenity that many feel really need to be improved for comfort's sake.
negative:
Rooftop restaurant opening hours
This hotel does have a rooftop restaurant, but it seems that this is an amenity enjoyed by only a lucky few guests. In fact, some booked this property specifically for this feature and were very disappointed to find that opening hours for the restaurant were at best sporadic.
