Bergamo Hostellit

Plussat: Location good.

Miinukset: Shared area for drink making was a mess, dirty kettle, no tea, no coffee, and a fridge with old food inside. If you want a quiet nights sleep - book another hotel. From midnight and up to 6am there were street sweepers, refuse collections, cleaning of apartments, deliveries to shops awful awful noise all night

Miinukset: Window didn't have a proper curtain

Plussat: Cheap and good brekfasts, good coffee.

Miinukset: Bakery next to the building caused terrible noise very early in the morning, starting from 3 a.m. and it was not possible to sleep.

Plussat: Great place for short trip - but if you want to travel in style "low-budget" (prepare meal by yourself) - the "kitchen" is not prepared for this. Only fridge and small table with kettle. Without plates, knifes - general cutlery. Host is very positive but check-in is in other building nearly your hostel. You have to pay 2 euro /day for taxes. We didnt go for breakfast offer by host (because I had read comments here about it).

Miinukset: In general room is very raw - here is only bed, table with chairs, two cups and 2 glasses, clothes hanger. Walls are very tiny so you hear everything around you :) You cant prepare meal because lack od cutlery / plates.

Plussat: The room is spacious with a comfortable bed. The decoration and facilities are basic but you've got a kettle, a hairdryer and basically everything you need. The staff is nice and friendly. The location is quite good: not too far away from the station and very close to the shopping street with lots of bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: One of the doors on our floor got stuck so we spent quite some time trying to get in. The breakfast is paid additionally and it was advertised to us as very big and with good variety but in fact we were slightly disappointed.

Plussat: Location only a 2 minute walk to train and bus station. Kettle and fridge for communal use. We left early in the next morning so cant comment on the area. Its ideal place for a night and then onward travel. Staff at check in helpful. Rooms clean

Miinukset: We arrived quite late and you have to collect the keys from a different location and then walk to your room. This would probably be ok in the day time but not great when its dark. The area appears safe though

Miinukset: We arrived earlier than the agreed 3pm time and tried for several hours to phone the number listed for the property - never any answer. The buzzer at the entrance gate also didn't appear to work. After wasting several hours, at the agreed 3pm check-in time, we joined several others at the entrance gate. none of us could get any answer from the site using the contact numbers we had. At around 3.30pm a neighbour to the property allowed us in the building and we found the host at a desk, allowing the contact phone to simply ring without answering it. So eventually we were checked in, though several hours had been wasted and we were not happy about the phone calls being ignored. On our final night our part of the accommodation had some sort of power cut, this left us with no battery left on our phones and as we had to depart for our early morning flight the next morning we ended up staying awake all night as we wouldn't have any alarm call from out mobile phones! So we had an extremely uncomfortable night and then were shattered for all the day during our journey back home from Bergamo to the UK. The accommodation itself was ok, but the service and the power cut simply angered us.

Plussat: Nice staff and very comfy bed

Miinukset: Breakfast lacked some components described in the menu like focaccia and fruits

Plussat: The boy in reception was kind and told us good tips about public transport and he was easy to comunicate with. The place was near bus stop (to airport) which was important for us, but that probably all what i can say about the place.

Miinukset: The first thing is that the place is a little bit hard to find and when you find it there is a sign that reception is in another place. And reception is even harder to find!!! We called to reception, he explained us how to find it, but if we didn't meet the lady (who knows the hotel) downstairs I doubt that we would find the place by ourselves. We looked for the sign Baker street but the hotel name on the reception sign was different. And i did not get any information before check-in that reception is in a different location - the message would be nice ... The room was simply, not very clean and there was a weird smell. Even if we did not expect much, the place was not worth the money.
