Hotel berhampiran Giardino Pubblico, Brescia

I have been to Brescia once before and stayed in a fantastic boutique hotel, the Locanda Delle Mercanzie however it was fully booked and instead I stayed at the Albergo Orologio which is not that far away. This traditional styled hotel is in an excellent location wight in the heart of the centre of the old town and with a huge array of restaurants and bars within just a few seconds of walking! It’s also only a five or six minute walk with a wheeled bag from the Vittoria Metro station. Very convenient. Check-in was easy, the receptionist greeting with a smiling face, giving advice, telling you about the hotel etc. It always makes you feel better when you arrive at a hotel and the staff are so warm and friendly! I had booked a single room but ended up in a double room. Wifi was excellent, a fridge in the room, toiletries, plenty of plug points, air-conditioning (although turned off at this time of year), a TV, seat and desk, a small safe (passports and small items…too small for a laptop). The room and bathroom were very clean. The furniture was old but it suited the character of the hotel. Old style, almost boutique like. Breakfast was delicious. Superb coffee and made for you by the waitress. Buffet style cereals, yoghurts, breads and croissants, cake cold meats and cheese. Maybe not the greatest variety but it was all tasty and I enjoyed it. Overall I thought this hotel was quaint, it was convenient, it was clean, very well priced and the staff were friendly. I would definitely consider staying again if I return to Brescia.

Entrati in camera e sistemata la roba, abbiamo cercato il telecomando per la Tv e non c’era; chiesto alla reception, ci hanno cambiato la stanza: risistemata tutta la roba, qui la Tv funzionava, ma solo coi pulsanti sul fianco del video, sempre telecomando non funzionante, benché qui presente (cambiato pile, ma nulla). Rientrati dopo cena in stanza, abbiamo sentito tutto il discorso dei vicini di stanza, che non gridavano assolutamente, ma parlavano con un tono normalissimo; per fortuna dovevano esser stanchi più o meno come noi, perché dopo un po’ non si son più sentiti. Abbiamo dormito su delle MOLLE A FORMA DI MATERASSO. I cuscini per il letto del bambino sono stati ricavati da quelli del divanetto, adattato a lettuccio, con la loro federa da divano e messi direttamente dentro ad una bianca per un cuscino classico. Al mattino doccia: bagno allagato, da cui abbiamo capito perché la porta (appunto del bagno) non chiudesse bene, dal momento che in basso era tutta gonfiata (in volte precedenti; noi abbiamo evitato che l’acqua giungesse fin lì) . Colazione: se non sei per l’europea, non sei obbligato a friggere delle uova e abbandonarle in un vassoio da insalata russa, non riscaldato. Ma 4 stelle chi gliele ha date?

At check in I asked about scheduling a massage for the following morning. Was told they no longer offer them. I asked about the pool & jacuzzi -was told they are 20 euro-somehow I missed this in hotel info…. But! It’s 10 euro because the Turkish bath is broken🙄. At 10Am I head to the reception desk in suit/cover (no robes)to ask where jacuzzi is? I’m told it must be reserved!? And its avail at noon (check-in gal said it was open at 9🤔). Not booked but they have to prepare it…ie turn on the heat? I’m very disappointed. What poor hotel practice to advertise massages and pools and jacuzzis and then they are basically unavailable. Finally no coffee in the room -bought a tablespoon of coffee for 2 euro only to drop it trying to fumble w/ the keycard which although my fault, further made this whole morning a disappointment. We are here 2 more nights & if our friends in Brescia hadn’t suggested this hotel- I would change. Finally beds are very hard.

Siamo stati subito accolti dalla ragazza alla reception che è stata veramente brava a darci tutte le spiegazioni necessarie per i due giorni e su come muoverci per arrivare in centro, parcheggio interrato al coperto incluso nel prezzo comodissimo, hotel in una buona posizione per arrivare in centro a piedi (20-25 minuti) e a 100 metri dalla fermata della metro che ti porta direttamente in centro in 10 minuti, colazione buona e abbondante anche se il 1 di Gennaio non erano presenti i cornetti perchè a quello che diceva la cameriera le pasticcerie quel giorno non erano aperte (non vedo perchè non ci dovevano essere visto che abbiamo pagato come gli altri giorni), questa è stata l’unica nota dolente, camera spaziosa con un bagno altrettanto grande e piena di servizi (avevamo Sky in camera), magari una rinfrescata alle stanze non sarebbe male visto che sono un po’ datate ma ben attrezzate.

We spent two nights in this Doubletree hotel in a modern area a bit outside the city center. The hotel is easy to reach by car and public transport and there is plenty of (free and safe) car parking available on the two fenced hotel car parks. The city center is about a 10 minute drive from the hotel, or you can take the metro. We received a nice room upgrade to a modern, spacious, quiet and clean room. The room and bathroom were well appointed and comfortable, including the bed. Also the hotel outdoors pool was very large and clean, although it did lack some atmosphere because of its very large size. All the staff in the hotel were very friendly, professional and helpful. Breakfast was ok with a reasonable selection of foods and drinks, but some of the products had run out towards the end of the breakfast time period. We would certainly consider staying here again when next in Brescia.

L'ambiente unico con camere che affacciano sull'impluvio di luce della reception rende l'hotel molto accogliente con la sensazione di avere tutto sotto controllo. Camere ben insonorizzate con materassi matrimoniali confortevoli unici e di marca. La pulizia è affidata a personale professionale ed affidabile, come la signora Giulia. La colazione è di buona qualità, senza restrizioni ed è affidata alla cura di Angela e Marika. L'accoglienza impeccabile della signora Anna, coadiuvata da Alice, completano le condizioni ottimali per trascorrere una vacanza in tranquillità sui laghi che sono a poca distanza.

With family we traveled to Monaco and decide to stay for night in this hotel.. in reception I asked that can we field all registration with passports a little bit later, because our infant really crying and very hungry. I asked please give me the key of the room for my wife and infant baby that she can care for baby.. Georgia (name person from reception) told me NO!!! So we waited with crying baby when Georgia field in computer details from all passports also infant as well.. it’s really not humanly. After few minutes gave me the key of the room and I payed for the room. The room price was 102€ but she charge us 303€. Georgia special did this.. also gave us not working room key.. Georgia special did this. I came to reception again and told her that room key not working.. she made face like- I don’t care and and demanded the remove of the car from reception parking area.. it’s normal?! After two times unsuccessful to enter in the room.. we decide leave that hotel.. I hope that will not happens with someone and persons like Georgia never works reception.. room cleaners have better etiquette.
