Mantova hotellia

Plussat: The reception staff was very helpful. Room was nice and clean .

Miinukset: Breakfast. The fruit weren't fresh. Cakes not tasty.

Plussat: Siisteys oli erinomainen, sänky paremmasta päästä. Aamiainen runsas ja monipuolinen.

Miinukset: Huoneessa vähän lasku- ja ripustustilaa tavaroille, vaikka se sinänsä oli suurehko. Uima-altaan käyttöajat melkoisesti rajoitettuja. Meno Mantovan keskustaan ilman autoa olisi ollut hankalaa.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: Good location, free parking and comfortable beds.

Miinukset: The staff on the arrival seemed quite annoyed. The lift is a bit outdated.

Miinukset: I did not like the smell of a cigarette in my room even I have slept on the non smoking area.

Plussat: The staff were very nice and helpful. The breakfast was good. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Plussat: Top location for concerts in Grana Padano Arena. Nice staff at the reception and the bar. Comfy bed. Free parking.

Plussat: The hotel was good, I really like the room and the facilities. Big tv, nicely decorated. Exceptional continental breakfast with a lot of variety including ham, bacon, salami, cheeses, vegetables, cakes, sweets, and fruits. Too bad that the coffee and the fruit juice was horrible. The location is right next to the highway, with around 15 minutes drive until the center of the city of Mantova.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the coffee in the breakfast was a big joke ( horrible instant coffee). It's a shame that they didn't put a decent coffee machine, since Italy is also famous about having one of the greatest coffees. Also the fresh juices were tasteless.

Plussat: The location of the hotel was easy to reach. The room was a little bit small but clean and well organized. The staff was nice and friendly. The breakfast was diversified.

Miinukset: For accessing the Internet you need to log in with one of your accounts (Google, Facebook etc) which is not ok upon my opinion. The Internet access for the guests must be 100% free and non-intrusive. For this reason I used my mobile data and this was very poor due to the local mobile operator.

Plussat: Clean hotel. Nice size rooms

Miinukset: Bath tub/ shower was dangerously slippery

Plussat: Let us choose between single or double room junior suite. Very practical and good rate for seeing some very beautiful spots in Italy.

Miinukset: 3 cockroaches hanging in the curtains. We also asked whether we could borrow a pack of matches to light our 1 year old daughters birthday candle in the room. This was declined, no reason given. Internet was down for 1.5 hours, although the manager was friendly about it. I don't see how this can happen in clearly a business oriented hotel. On the way out, we were presented with a bill 100 Euro more than what booking.com offered, and after clarifying, the non-used minibar charges were dropped, as were the inaccurate room charges. The mistake was glossed over with a.... "oops, here is your booking.com invoice." Hmmmm...

Plussat: Could not fault the facilities and staff -- and excellent hotel to stay at. I would recommend it readily.

Miinukset: It was excellent in alal respects

Plussat: hotel was great - modern, clean, good staff

Miinukset: was very difficult to find

Plussat: The rooms were beautifully furnished (modern) and very comfortable. If you are travelling by car it is a very convenient location for a city trip. It's a five minutes' drive to the city centre.

Plussat: quite.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: The hotel is 10 euro ride from the centre of town which in it's self is not a problem but makes you reliant on taxis.

Plussat: Modern smart hotel, freindly helpful staff, on outskirts of pretty town, - plenty of parking.

Miinukset: Need a car

Plussat: The hotel is situated not far from the main italian highway, so it is a perfect place to stay when you travel to the south of Italy and need one night break. Very friendly staff. You can visit the Mantova´s center, which is almost 5 km far, so better to have a car.

Miinukset:

Plussat: very friendly and helpful personnel, nice room and location. Easy for shopping

Miinukset:

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Sain parvekkeellisen huoneen! Isoja kauppoja ihan lähellä.

Miinukset: Vaikea löytää autolla, koska uusi osoite. Hotellin kuvaukseen olisi helppo kuitenkin lisätä ohjeet, Tele Mantovan takana/vieressä, Via Verriltä käännytään siis oikealle.

Plussat: It is new, the rooms are excellent, the staff are especially attentive and the breakfast buffet is good

Miinukset: there is nothing around it apart fron ipercoop

Plussat: The location is quite good, near to all the main monuments of the town and next to the town center. The structure’s services are good as well, even if we didn’t try the breakfast; parking is somewhat expensive, but comes very handy in that area.

Miinukset: The location, while central and good for a visit to the town center, is not that beautiful, since it is in front of the train station and in a not so pleasant area of Mantova.

Plussat: The location across the street from the railway station was excellent. I had a good night's sleep in my room. Room was basic and clean.

Miinukset: The guy that we met at the arrival, he wasn't kind.

Plussat: Excellent value for money with a great location; across the street from the train station. Room was big with plenty of hot water, comfortable, warm bed and large wardrobe for your luggage. Breakfast was superb with a variety of choices. Exceptional and accommodating staff.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very clean and neat place uniting modernity to the classical style of the city. Comfortable bed providing quality sleep.

Miinukset: Parking lot is a bit small but that’s quite a characteristic of old towns.

Plussat: The hotel was clean and updated. Location was not in the center but was an easy walk to the center.

Miinukset: The room was crowded and not very comfortable. In addition , there was street noise , noise from the houses next door and in the alleyway. We also had noise from the room above us. I also found the people at the front desk lacking in warmth .

Plussat: Bed was extra comfy, bathroom was huge, breakfast was great

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: No window in my room.

Plussat: All was very nice! Staff provided good recommendations on the restaurants for dinner, supported with parking.

Plussat: Tilava huone, iso kylpyhuone. Hotelli oli helppo löytää ja sen edessä paikka matkatavaroiden purkamiseen. Autolle turvallinen parkkipaikka lukitussa tallissa. Hyvä perusaamiainen! Lyhyt kävelymatka keskustaan.

Plussat: The location. The accommodation. The helpfulness of the staff.

Plussat: Very Comfortable bed and wonderfully quiet. Excellent parking, which was essential on this trip. Staff were very helpful in recommending an good local restaurant, just down the road.

Miinukset: Nothing to add here!

Plussat: You don't have culture or art or history as a category - this is what this hotel is best for.

Miinukset: The attitude of the staff, which appeared to be that the customer is always wrong until proven otherwise. The door jamb fell off the bathroom door onto my mother's head. The member of staff informed us that she would check with housekeeping to see if the door jamb was loose when the room had been cleaned in the morning. There were no blankets either on the bed or in the room. The reception staff recommended a local restaurant for dinner, which served overcooked food. The restaurant owner tried to convince us that Italian food was supposed to be overcooked and proceeded to charge us for the food that we had not eaten.

Plussat: The fresh design of the room

Plussat: Central position with secure parking

Miinukset: Big effort on design but many faults. Some staff unfriendly. Poor breakfast.

Plussat: Quite clean rooms and very kind and friendly staffs. It is a bit far from station, but it's worth.

Plussat: friendly staff, decent breakfast, great rooms

Miinukset:

Plussat: very friendly and helpful staff, cheap bicycle hire from hotel, big comfortable modern room and bathroom

Miinukset: no internet facilities either in the hotel or the town (Mantua). 1.5 km walk to train station.

Plussat: Friendly staff, very nice clean design all over the hotel, clean rooms. Easy to stay.

Miinukset:

Plussat: fantastic minimalist design, location, easy parking

Miinukset: check out at 10.00 :(((

Plussat: Breakfast excellent even eggs and bacon. Rooms immaculate. Reception staff very helpful and booked us a table at the local Trattoria just behind the hotel.

Miinukset: Request a room away from the front, we had to move for the second night as we had hardly any sleep with all the traffic noise, we live in the country so not used to traffic.

Plussat: Clean The inside is better than the outside

Miinukset: Parking very narrow in spite of the hotel's advice A little bit noisy (noise of the street, the trucks) Poor quality of the wifi TV very small

Plussat: Breakfast was of good quality, with a wide selection and plenty of food. Coffee was freshly made to order, and as much as one wanted. Reception was friendly, polite and efficient, and excellent English was spoken. Room was quiet.

Plussat: Across the city central station, non too muco far from the city center with best maintained rooms !

Plussat: Better hotel than I expected seeing the photos. The room was really ok and even if I booked a single, I got a double for two nights (more space!). I was arriving by train, so the location was perfect as it is exactly opposite the station. The centre and Palazzo Te are around a 15/20 minute walk from there (each in opposite directions). It's not a complicated walk and it's a beautiful one as well. The price was also more affordable than right in the historic area. On arrival there were two women on the reception desk. The older one was serious and not very welcoming, but the younger was very nice and took me to my room. Good thing because it wasn't easy to find. I was in the 1st floor and had to go across a patio (with tables where you could sit and next to another parking patio) and then go up on the lift and through a corridor with a few steps. Like I said, the room is basic, but has everything you can need: big bed (as I got a double), safe, small fridge (with water bottles, but wasn't sure if those were included), TV, air conditioned, telephone, a chair, a desk, a big mirror, hangers and a drawer (but not a real wardrobe) and plugs nearby the bed. The toilet was small but had what I needed: a shower cabinet (nice hot water), toiletries, soft towels, loo, basin, a stool, hair dryer and tissues. Everything clean and no problem at all with anything. My room was quiet, the bed was comfy, so had some good hours of sleep. Also, the receptionist saved my suitcase on the last day (although they save the suitcases right at the reception and you get no receipt for it. I just came back and took it, so felt a bit unsafe). So in general, a nice hotel for a good price and great location. I certainly wou

Miinukset: On the negatives, not many. Mainly that I couldn't make the wi-fi work. Also that there was a thick curtain and blind, but still there was light in the room. Thankfully I travel with a mask, so it wasn't a real problem. Also the mentioned lack of receipt when you leave the luggage on storage. I didn't try the breakfast, so can't give an opinion.

Plussat: Wonderful client attention, very helpful and kind. Excellent lunch- dinner recomendations. Very good situation. Excellent breakfast included.

Plussat: The most wonderful staff I have ever found into an hotel. Big comfortable pre-heated comfortable room, with 2 complimentary extra beds (even if I booked one) for our 2 children. Excellent breakfast, complimentary parking lot, the staff made us feel at home, we were sad to leave the hotel!

Miinukset: sufficient location, you need a car to reach the city centre (but we knew it before, so it's not an issue)

Plussat: It was right across the road from the train station

Miinukset: Parking place at extra cost of 12 EUR per night and the minibar with mineral water also at extra cost of 2 EUR per night

Plussat: The room was nice and staff very pleasant. Also the hotel was conveniently positioned to allow us to visit the old city centre on foot

Plussat: Viihtyisä kaupunkihotelli.

Miinukset: Hotelli vaikutti hieman sokkeloiselta.

Plussat: The responsible of reception was kindly and gave to me all information needed, amability of all emploies.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The only +ve point of this hotel is that it is close to city centre.

Miinukset: I will not call this hotel a 3-star hotel. This hotel is really very very basic - simple bed & breakfast type. There is no fridge in the room, cupboards are shaky, staff hardly speak English.

Plussat: The location, the cleanliness, the comfort of the room and the breakfast choices

Miinukset: Parking in the garage was expensive.

Plussat: The staff especially, were most friendly and helpful. We were asked if we would mind changing rooms after the first night, and were put into a much larger and better equipped one than previously. One of the receptionists went to great lengths to make sure that we had everything we could possibly have wished for. We felt that it was a very kind gesture indeed on her part.

Miinukset:

Plussat: quite and close to city center-transports

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, sopiva hinta.

Miinukset: Suihkutiloissa on parantamisen varaa.

Plussat: Albergo Bianchi Stazione was very convenient for arriving in Mantua with a car. We were able to find temporary parking outside the station which is across the road from the hotel, and go to the hotel where the friendly receptionist explained how to enter the carpark and opened the door for us. The hotel is old style with character, but comfortable. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and gave us a lovely, quiet room at the back of the hotel, as requested. It was an easy walk to the historic centre. Breakfast was good.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and excellent location.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti / siisti / hyvä / aamiainen.

Miinukset: Ei huomattamista

Plussat: I've spent two nights in this hotel which is located in an excellent position (just across the train station and very close to the historic center). My room, n.138, was spacious with a double bed, it has a huge window (with shutters which made the room dark enough to have a good sleep) and even the bathroom was very spacious. AC was working properly making the room cool (anyway, it was and old AC system and I found annoying not having a remoter to switch it on and off during night - to do that you were oblidge to get up from the bed and reach the wall near the entrance). Overall I had a good sleep and the room was clean

Miinukset: The old furniture and a not focused "attention for details", have you the feeling to stay in a "not well kept" structure (ie. the showers was clean but the old shower-head full of limestone gave you a bad feeling). Be advice not to keep food in this room as the window faces the backyard and during the first night small ants visited my trolley - where some perfectly sealed sandwiches were kept (in the morning the cleaner solved immediatly the issue and the day after I didn't have any problems). Breakfast was quite basic, juice not so fresh, but jams and chocolate spread were really good - even the breakfast and the shabby atmosphere could be improved. Price per night was too much in my opinion (even during high season) for a structure that is closer to a two stars hotel then to a three stars one.

Plussat: Extremely helpful staff. Very convenient location next to station but quiet rooms .

Plussat: Directly across from the train station but very quiet. Room was very comfortable and bathroom looked like it had recently been rennovated. Close to old town and a lovely walk to main activities. Many bars and restaurants close by. Staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very friendly staff!

Miinukset: A bit more to choose from on the breakfast table. Cheese, egg.

Plussat: the location is great especially when traveling by train, a cozy hotel

Miinukset: there is nothing special that I did not like

Plussat: Friendly staff. Cleanliness.

Plussat: This family run hotel was very welcoming and pleasant

Miinukset: No laundry facilites

Plussat: The room was quite spacious and quiet which we had requested. The breakfast was good value and the location close the railway station was convenient. .

Miinukset: The airconditioning was rather noisy.

Plussat: Comfortable, friendly and central

Plussat: This was a good three star hotel. Having read some of the reviews I was apprehensive so it definitely exceeded my expectations. I had two rooms, a single for me and a suite with balcony for my mid-70's parents. Their room was lovely and quiet and faced onto a pleasant internal courtyard. Mine had no balcony but was a good size for single room and had a large bathroom. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard every day. The staff were very friendly, though they spoke little English (like all the Italians we met in Mantova) - so it helps to brush up on your Italian. It was in a good location opposite the Station - surprisingly quiet and safe/clean for city station.

Miinukset: Air conditioning was a bit noisy - but it worked! Breakfast was simple and continental - but exactly what you'd expect for city hotel at this price.

Plussat: The staff are very polite, friendly and helpful. Great location for visiting the city as everything is within walking distance. The rooms and public areas are spotless.

Plussat: Very friendly service, clean and calm hotel. Good location.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Mantova is a nice small city.

Miinukset: The hotel staff, the room (old fashioned, moldy, thin walls), the area (near the stazione = railway station, not a nice area to walk through in the night), the breakfast (italian type of, which is ok in Italy, but this was one of the poorest among 10 hotels I stayed)...

Plussat: The reception staff were very helpfull and the room was very clean. If somewhat spartan

Miinukset: Yes. They charged more for the room than was confirmed at time of booking. Breakfast was almost non existant on the last day !!!!!!!!!.

Plussat: Hotel Staff were very helpful and knowledgable about the locale.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff; onsite parking, reasonably priced; centrally located to both train station and center of town

Miinukset:

Plussat: This privately run hotel is conveniently located mid-way between the Palazzo Ducale and Palazzo Te, less than 10 minutes from the Piazza del-Erbe, a tourist focal point with lots of bars and restaurants, and only 15 minutes' walk from the railway station. The breakfast was generous and included fresh fruit.

Plussat: Very impressed by the cleanness of the place. Every day cleaning of room and other facilities up to high standard. Exceptional.

Miinukset: Room for 2 should offer 2 chairs, not just 1. Just plastic beakers available at the room to enjoy late vino, glases would be appreciated.

Plussat: The welcome and the location, proximity to the centre of Mantova.

Miinukset: Our room was minimalist : no fridge, no tea-making facility. The TV had no English-speaking channels. Hardly a three-star category hotel, but minimally adequate.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location for the places we visited. Will certainly stay there if I return to Mantua.

Plussat: It had an old-fashioned look which I found charming. The staff were courteous and helpful. It was easy to find and near to many beautiful places.

Plussat: a free car park in the middle of a italian town, ideal to leave the car during the visit of the town (two nights)

Miinukset: a bit gloomy - but just a bit

Plussat: The people were nice, it's a great location, breakfast was fair by Italian standards, it was convenient to be able to park our car in the hotel's courtyard.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the laundry service they chose to wash 6 polo shirts, 5 underpants and 7 pairs of socks charged 58.50 euros for this service which is nearly half the price of the price of a day's stay at the hotel. Although the hotel personnel was quite apologetic they should have known better than to use this company for their guests.

Plussat: Free parking and the hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful

Miinukset: The hotel needs to refurbished and the breakfast is basic

Plussat: The staff could not have been more welcoming. Nothing was lacking at this hotel, which combined charm with high standards. The room was spacious, comfortable and quiet and so could not have served our purposes better. The breakfast is excellent with 'proper' Italian coffee and the bar always open. I would not consider staying anywhere else should I return to Mantua. The position is, of course, excellent, as well. All in all, the one-night stay was a delight and will always be a fond memory. I couldn't recommend the hotel more highly.

Plussat: I was able to park without charge in the courtyard behind the hotel. All the staff were unfailingly helpful, one going out for a fresh warm loaf at breakfast when the bread ran out and the receptionist giving much useful advice. A very pleasant and efficient place to stay, as I did for five nights.

Miinukset: Mosquitoes! Didn't know about these until too late, then I was told about the spray in the wardrobe which I used to good effect from then on though it was a pity having to keep the windows closed.

Plussat: For the price you pay it was a good stay!

Plussat: The facilities were great and it was an excellent value for the money. It's a mini apartment with the kitchen, washing machine, refrigerator, and even a dishwasher. The staff was also very nice, especially the girl from Moldova.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly

Plussat: The appartment was in a quiet area in Mantova and close to restaurants and the supermarket. The cooking facilities were excellent and the room was large and well appointed . Parking was also at hand which made our stay here a pleasant experience. There is much to do in the area and we would happily stay here again.

Plussat: Wonderful place to stay with all necessary things in the room! A room is very well equipped so you can relax and enjoy your stay. Small kitchen and a supermarket in 5 minutes walking will help you to cook your meal, the washing machine will clean your clothes and the staff is always ready to help and answer you questions - special thanks to Iliana! (forgive me in case of misspelling your name...). the city center is in 30 minutes walking and you can get it via pedestrian path along the road or via nice park on the lake shore (when meet a rabbit don't go to the rabbit hole if you are not Alice :) ). This very place is very quiet, you won't find a lot of cafes around but it's nice to have a rest after the long day of sightseeing.

Plussat: @All things are ok and comfortable @there are 2 staffs have warmhearted to their costumers and more. #Elina and her supervisor #Leonardo thank you for them.

Miinukset: Nothing to say.

Plussat: The room I stayed had an issue with the hot water but after talking to the manager he gave an even better room without hesitation at no extra cost. Very friendly and thoughtful.

Miinukset: The lift seemed to not stop on ground floor. Would be great if the staff could know a little English, just to make the check-in - out easy

Plussat: everything was at hand - and perfect handling - will recommend for sure

Plussat: location and friendly staff

Plussat: Typical hotel, nothing special, continental breakfast, having a private parking was very convenient, perfect for 1-2 night stay. Next to old town Mantova

Miinukset: Air con terrible and it was very hot that day

Plussat: The location was great and the staff very friendly. The room was "a little tired" but was fine for one night. Breakfast was okay but nothing remarkable.

Miinukset: The room needed renovation and the mattress was uncomfortable (too hard in my opinion).

Plussat: Good location!

Miinukset: This hotel, although very clean, did not rate a four star. The room was tired and needs a remodel as does the bathroom. The walls are thin and so you hear the elevator and your neighbours. Not worth the price.

Plussat: + Good location, close to the historical center and all facilities. + Great staff + Very well maintained, room was always clean and well kept.

Plussat: Onsite parking convenient. Breakfast food excellent. Front desk staff very helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: Bed could have better mattress.

Plussat: Stylish, scrupulously clean and comfortable room in the heart of Mantova's old town. The room was extremely spacious and located in a historic building. Be aware that this is not a conventional hotel with reception desk. However, we found the check-in process (at a restaurant just across the square from the room) very convenient and the staff extremely helpful - we were able to leave our luggage on our day of departure. Very nice breakfast served every day at the same restaurant.

Miinukset: The rooms are in the very centre of town and ours faced on to the main square so there was a little noise on Friday and Saturday nights - for us this wasn't a problem but if you need absolute silence to sleep, consider booking somewhere less central, or ask for a room that doesn't face the main square.

Plussat: Beautifully renovated with such style. Comfortable, clean and great location. Will definitely return.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Bedroom and bathroom comfortable

Miinukset: During the night a little cockroach in the bathroom

Plussat: Perfect Location, Perfect bathroom, Perfect vibe

Miinukset: Bed a little firm but I am trying to give a honest review. Would definitely go back without question.

Plussat: everything

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: Extremely tiny room Very noisy

Plussat: location, couzyness

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: excellent location in the centre of the town, connection with the very good restaurant across the road and the 15% discount on meals there.

Miinukset: the clock in the square chiming on every hour through the night.

Plussat: We like hotels in old/ historic buildings but with modern comfort. Here this was exceptionally well done. We have never had such a spacious room in any hotel. Its situation right in the center of the old town is amazing. It is in a restricted pedestrian area ie. the next parking lot is about a 10 minutes walk away.

Miinukset: There was nothing we did not like.

Plussat: The historical position of the Residenza and its restaurant. Excellent view over the old Piazza Erbe.

Plussat: Room was brilliant and beautiful and restaurant was fantastic. Location could not be better.

Plussat: The location was excellent, right in the centre of the town.

Miinukset: The cheap quality bed sagged in the centre, giving us an uncomfortable sleepless night. Only a single topsheet, no bedcover. There were no proper curtains so one could not keep out the street lights. Noisy aircon. No safe. The two spare pillows in the cupboard were dirty and lacked pillowcases. Likewise the duvet. No satellite tv or English programs. No lift (we were 3rd floor.) The room was dusty. Altogether an uncomfortable stay. Check in had to be at certain times only. Not poor service, just no service. The only breakfast offered was a drink and sweet cake. 2* hotel at 4* plus price.

Plussat: The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very conveniently situated for sight-seeing, shopping and excellent restaurants.

Miinukset: There is no elevator, and it is very noisy.

Plussat: Detailed renovation and modernization of an old building. Located on the main piazza in town. A most colorful surrounding with many historical sights

Miinukset: Not for the light of sleep - a very noisy piazza, even with windows shut

Plussat: Excellent location. Spacious bathroom with plenty of hot water. Good heating system - needed in the depths of winter!

Miinukset: The suite does not have a comfortable chair - let alone a sofa - since there is no space for it. The balcony with 2 chairs can't be used during the winter. Therefore "duplex double" is a fairer description of room 4. No pictures or rugs. Furniture reminiscent of Ikea. Since this is a Residenza and not a hotel - so no facilities except access to the restaurant after 10am for breakfast - I think this accommodation is over-priced.

Plussat: Very warm welcome and very helpful staff. Superb location.

Miinukset: The hotel does not have a reception area nor any in-hotel staff, and it is not possible to enter the hotel without a key for the front door. However, one has to go to a restaurant across the Piazza Erbe to register and get one's key etc., and there is no indication to that effect on the door of the hotel. Finding out about that on arrival could be quite difficult from someone who does not speak italian. A second 'problem' is that there is no phone or other means of communication with the outside world in the rooms. Should anything happen, I guess one would be in some difficulty...

Plussat: Position of hotel is central,near restuarants and lake. Close to major points of interest eg.ducale palace.Modern renovation with airconditioning.

Miinukset: Stairs only

Plussat: Beautifully appointed room, and very comfortable; top class interior design

Miinukset: The room is serviced only by the family restaurant opposite. They are charming and very attentive people, but it's not quite the same as having concierge/receptionist service etc

Plussat: Central location. Quiet. Good air conditioning and shower. Comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful service in pre-booking taxis, hire car, flight seats.

Miinukset: Lack of drawer space.

Plussat: Nice and hard working people own & run this place. Good value for the money and location.

Miinukset: Tired, cramped, noisy over bakery.

Plussat: The lady on reception is lovely, greets you politely. Location was great

Miinukset: The hotel could do with a good manicure, it's old fashioned but then that has it's own unique charm. Breakfast was just average

Plussat: Staff were lovely and helpful

Plussat: The hotel is in an excellent location and very easy to get to with a grocery right next door... The staff are quirky but really nice... it is a family run experience. The room was really odd, but liveable... (with a little room for EACH part of the bathroom... but hey, it all worked).

Plussat: Hotel Italia is an easy walk from the station, maybe 10 minutes or so. The location is excellent, the staff are very helpful, kind, and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, and the AC worked well for those hot afternoons. Breakfast was a bit better than expected, but the staff was really the big plus as they were very personable and responsive to my needs. Monica and Lucia both were very professional while also kind.

Miinukset: The baths need maybe some rethinking. They are a bit dated, but not an issue for me. For other travelers, having a shower share the same tiles as the rest of the bath may pt them off. But it is designed so that the shower water is contained. Just an oddity nowadays. Not a a big issue unless you are picky.

Plussat: Lucia, part owner was very obliging and helpful during my stay, even suggesting a free concert on one evening.

Plussat: Exceptionally helpful and friendly welcome by the staff. They went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and accommodate our needs.

Plussat: Friendly staff, ready to help and give an advice what to see in the city.

Miinukset: Parking slot was 500 m from the hotel.

Plussat: Amicable staff and central location near to historic center. Provided parking faciities, although a couple of blocks away.

Miinukset: I did not like the cramped spaces. Lobby was small and crowded with furniture. The rooms were also small, dark and stuffy.

Plussat: close to centre and to train station

Miinukset: smoking's smell from the others room

Plussat: Close to the town center.

Miinukset: Price too high in spite of off-season.

Plussat: Everything! The staff, the rooms, the comfort. I strongly recommend it!

Miinukset: Far from center. The connection are not good. The breakfast was kind of ok.

Plussat: Wonderful welcoming staff. Really tried to make us feel at home.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very inexpensive but not great

Plussat: well laid out and comfortable rooms

Plussat: The Hotel is brand new and rich of high quality services/facilities.

Miinukset: The car navigator could not find the place due to main street not yet completed. We feel that the internet access should have been free and not restricted in time.

Plussat: the accommodation very nice, bright new, modern, comfortable, spacious....

Miinukset: location - bit far from anything - needing car as we used it just as a stop not having restaurant or being close to one bit difficult, but shop quite close.

Plussat: Location was good. I could walk to town following the lake , or get the bus.

Miinukset: The accomodation was perfect with a coffee machine at the corridor. However, if the was a kitchen to make coffee and have a snack , it could be perfect.

Plussat: I liked the facilities there, the TV, bathroom, the fridge and etc.

Miinukset: What I didn't like was that, my bedsheets was not changed the three nights. And also the opening hours of the reception is not all that favorable.

Plussat: Very comfortable place for your break on a long journey. Lovely neighborhood near lake too.

Plussat: The room was perfect for some great sleep

Miinukset: Check out could be a little more flexible

Plussat: Staff

Miinukset: The center of city is far

Plussat: Staff very pleasant. Breakfast was great

Miinukset: Bed very uncomfortable and hard Poor sound insulation, could hear next door’s loo being used. Not nice. Washbasin cracked

Plussat: Central breakfast was pk given a veryb

Miinukset: Given a bad room with window opening onto lift shaft changed us to an annex 50 yards away

Plussat: great location, great restaurant, great breakfast

Miinukset: One small complaint, although WiFi is strong and consistent throughout the hotel, for some reason, management have elected to “block” , censor” or otherwise make unavailable any, and all, legitimate internet sites which contain “ adult” content. Not only have they taken this unilateral decision without any pre information, but they have failed to grant facility for guests who wish to opt out of this didactic and regressive policy, the next logical step is this process is to require prospective guests couples to prove they are official married before allowing them to occupy a room. This kind of control freakery is quite unnecessary in todays modern world, I will certainly not be staying in this hotel during any future visit

Plussat: The location cannot be beaten . My only regret was our time was too short

Plussat: Perfect Location. We were initially given a room which made us feel slightly claustrophobic - but the hotel staff kindly relocated us to a brighter, more airy room

Miinukset: We liked everything - access and parking is a little bit complicated - but this is because of the excellent location right in the town centre....

Plussat: The rooms were lovely, clean and tidy. Receptionist was welcoming and polite. Best of all location was very central and just 15 mins away from train station

Miinukset: Apart from walls being paper thin, also room was directly above hotel bar. Open to general public so could hear everything from chairs being moved, crowds singing happy birthday and also people outside having a drink and smoke. Kept me up all night.

Plussat: There is no more central location in town. The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful, accommodating my slightly earlier arrival with great kindness. All interactions were professional and forthcoming. I won't need to think twice about where I'll stay upon returning to Mantua. Grazie e complimenti!

Plussat: Excellent location (just on the corner of Piazza Sordello, the historic main square). Great breakfast with wide choice. Customer-friendly personnel. We had an airy, clean room with square view (no blackout curtains, use the outer shutters for perfect darkness and noise reduction at night!) If by car, drive directly to the hotel, use the reserved place for unloading/loading only - opposite in front of it, ask receptionist for proof-card of hotel stay (because of ZTL, limited traffic zone) and find a public parking place nearby, marked blue.

Miinukset: Not easy to find it. Nearby parking is just a question of good luck (don't give up even after 500 meters!) The ground floor of the hotel was always a bit crowded (though reception, lobby, restaurant and coffee bar are somehow separated but still in the same airspace - as very typical at this category of hotels in Italy).

Plussat: Mr Mantovani spoke excellent English and he and his wife were most hospitable. To find such a pleasant rural setting so close to Mantua was excellent. The breakfast was varied and generous and wi-fi good.

Plussat: everything. we spent one night here on our way further south.

Plussat: Location. Also local advice from the owner

Miinukset: We stayed in the green room and could not get the airconditioning to work. As a result, we had to open the windows and we got bitten!

Plussat: nice, quite, simple

Miinukset: lack of common room for staying on bad weather

Plussat: We loved the location. Lovely quiet countryside, 4km from Mantua, so there was a choice between culture and activity ( biking , walking). The breakfast was excellent. The owner, Alberto , was charming and everyone was very helpful when we had a problem with a tyre on our trailer - what could have been problematic was sorted quickly. We are already planning our next visit.

Miinukset: The mosquitos are vicious - just take spray!

Plussat: Good breakfast. Pleasant, rural location. Quiet.

Miinukset: Had to pay extra for local taxes. Not included in advertised rate.

Plussat: I spent one night in this family-run hotel, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable stay amidst the charming, rustic surroundings of Mantua. The owners were helpful, uncommonly kind, and spoke decent English.

Plussat: The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.He knew everything regarding the area: directions,restaurants etc...Beautiful location in the countryside by a river and perfect location,5mns away from historic center.

Plussat: The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.He knew everything regarding the area: directions,restaurants etc...Beautiful location in the countryside by a river AND perfect location,5mns away from historic center.

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings: spacious and very clean room. Although across the lake from the city of Mantova and on the edge of glorious countryside, you do not need a car as it is a very pleasant walk into the city itself. There are also two excellent restaurants only 10 - 15 minutes walk from the farm.

Plussat: Friendly staff, the orchard in the facility, large parking area. We stayed only one night in order to visit the city of Mantova.

Miinukset: Mosquitoes in the evening outside the room (no problem inside with plug in bug repellent). Not much sound proofing so we could hear other guests talking.

Plussat: Hotelli sijaitsi ihanassa paikassa maaseudun rauhassa vehreällä alueella. Palvelu oli todella ystävällistä, ja luumupuut olivat mukavia.

Miinukset: Ei ollut.

Plussat: Sydämellinen vastaanotto ja ystävällinen ilmapiiri. Paikallisista nähtävyyksistä kertominen ja opastus kartan kera oli hienoa:) Rauhallinen huone omalla sisäänkäynnillä,parkkipaikka pihasa.

Miinukset: Ajettiin tienhaarasta ensimmäisen kerran ohi, kun ei huomattu kylttiä.

Plussat: The host was truly a fine gentleman: kind, courteous, informed,competent and helpful in getting us just the kind of place to eat that we wanted and gave great directions to visit the places we wanted to see locally.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Quiet, clean and comfortable. Excellent host and breakfast.

Plussat: Frederica was a Wonderful host & so helpful! Enjoyed the farm

Plussat: Great breakfast and staff, room was spacious. Very nice house

Miinukset: Bedroom floor had some dog/cat hair but the rest of the room was clean

Miinukset: they tried to put us in a smoky mouldy room with no windows absolutely not matching the pictures of the site. Eventually they put us in a clean room. The location in front of the station is super poor as well and some homeless people around nice but weird environment...

Plussat: Staff were very helpful, great location just cross the street from the station and you are there, easy walk to the city centre (15 min.) and Palazzo Te. Booked 1 room/1 guest, stayed 1 huge room/3 guests single bead (first at right crossing to the main gate), clean, hight ceiling, exposed beam, mini fridge, nice size bathroom, lots of clean towels, clean linen, unexpected quiet because of the location close to a main street, WiFi Ok. Great value or Money, I would re-book.

Miinukset: Shared reception/check with the ABC hotel, would have been better to let me know in advance, rooms in a courtyard away from the lobby.stayed in may (day 16o-20o C, night 10o-12o C), heater off, chilly room at night, small TV (20 inch?) distant from the bed, mattress too soft - lower back pain.

Plussat: Very spacious room, well lighted. Very comfotable bed. ---löcation is just in front of train station and within easy distance to town centre

Miinukset: -------------zt us cut off from main hptel, but ----i had no problem about it,

Miinukset: Not friendly reception

Plussat: Lovely thick towels; spacious room with separate bathroom; very quiet in spite of being across from the train station; helpful staff; refreshments provided on arrival; short walking distance to town Centre.

Miinukset: Some guests were a bit noisy!

Plussat: Parking.

Miinukset: Noise level on the main road was terrible!

Plussat: We were happy to be able to park our car in the courtyard (although the gate is verrry narrow) and thankful for the air conditioning in the room, which worked great.

Plussat: Excellent location

Miinukset: Breakfast in bed

Plussat: A basic but clean hotel - my room seemed to have been recently refurbished to an acceptable standard.

Miinukset: The only problem was that my bathroom door did not shut and and there was a strip light on the balcony outside the bathroom which flooded into the bedroom.

Plussat: Good setting close to old city centre; comfortable

Miinukset: Car park dificult to access, but very secure.

Plussat: Situated in a beautiful old historical building, we had a spacious and clean room. The hotel offers also bikes for rent. We enjoyed biking along the lakes and in the city.

Miinukset: Parking fee of 20 EUR/day is very high

Plussat: Good-sized quiet room, well serviced, good buffet breakfast, reasonably well-located for centro storico.

Miinukset: Reception arrangements confusing and unsatisfactory. Hotel's own entrance in Corso kept locked, receptionist has to be summoned by entryphone, long walk to reception desk. Best access through abc hotel directly across road from train station.

Plussat: Huone oli siisti ja sijainti hyvä.

Miinukset: Air conditionning not working, room just in front of garage door, problems with electricity

Plussat: None!

Miinukset: This is not a 4-star hotel. Entrance is impossible to locate...the main entrance is not at the address provided and there is no indication how/where to enter the hotel. I actually thought the hotel had closed and was going to find alternative accomodations. Check-in clerk provided absolutely no assistance in getting the car into the car park (an extremely difficult task - see next comment) or navigating luggage thru the small spaces. If you are driving beware - you will need someone to stand in the street and stsop traffic so you can maneuver the car into the car park entrance. There was no bellman or porter to help with luggage. The room was tiny - even by european standards. There was no place to put suitcases. We left one in front of the door - an obvious fire hazard. The provided safe was not bolted down - rendering it useless. The limited amenities were provided in small plastic packets. (Again - not what you would expect in a 4-star hotel!!!) The breakfast was merely adequate - with prepackaged cheeses and limited selection. Again - not what you would expect at a 4-star hotel

Plussat:

Miinukset: good hotel - poor breakfast.

Plussat: It was close enough to the locations we wanted to visit

Miinukset: airconditioning did not work well, and it was too hot during the night to sleep comfortably
