The hotel is not old, the building itself looks new and is located in a very convenient place - it is in the middle of the center, 5min walk from the main streets with shops, 10min walk from the funiculer with the help of which you can get to the old town with churches and cathedrals, 3min walk to the bus stations. Near the hotal are located lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. The managers in the hotel are very polite and helpful, they all speak English (which is rather rare for Italian hotels), and are ready to provide you with useful tourist information about the town, its places of interst, shops and restaurants, and give you a map. The standard room is very cosy, big, with new furniture, nice view, good insulation (so you will not hear the sounds from the nearby street). There is a big wardrobe in the room, a kettle with free coffee, milk and tea. Ther bathroom has all necessary toilet sets (toothpaste, toothbrash, shower gel, shampoo).. The breakfast is very nourishing, in consists of eggs, ham, sausages, diferent cheeses, fresh veges, fruit, very tasty pastries and different types of bread, etc. It is the best hotel in Bergamo and we do advise it for all the tourists. If we come to bergamo again, we will choose it without any doubts!!
