Mantova Hotels

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

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

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

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

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

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

The location, the cleanliness, the comfort of the room and the breakfast choices Parking in the garage was expensive.

It was right across the road from the train station

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

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. . The airconditioning was rather noisy.

Mantova is a nice small city. 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)...

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. 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.

Free parking and the hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful The hotel needs to refurbished and the breakfast is basic

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

Good setting close to old city centre; comfortable Car park dificult to access, but very secure.

None! 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

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