Hotel Donizetti - Lallio

8.0

VERY PLEASANT & HOTEL STAFF GOOD. THE COST OF THE TAXI FROM BERGAMO AIRPORT WHICH IS ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AWAY IS A RIP-OFF; WE WERE CHARGED 25 EUROS!

6.7

our stay was ok, no english breakfast as stated. On check out we were given an enormous bill for using the internet for which we were given a password but not told we would be charged for it and were disappointed with the response we received

7.9

very welcoming and kind staff, excellent breakfast. we were expecting a family room in the hotel, instead we stayed in an appartment owned by the hotel (and behind the hotel), huge and nice appartment. But unfortunately we were disturbed by the noises of the neighbours that were living in the building. by the way, if you have a car, the hotel is very close to Bergamo city.

8.2

We spent only one night in this hotel. It was ok, but nothing special. Also they gave as appartments, that was really look different from the site's picture. It's 15 min (by car) from the airport. So if you are going to the airoport in the morning, it's a good choice.

7.9

Good people. The clientele was travellers

7.1

Good Hotel, rooms are ok, breakfast a little bit poor

9.2

geen restaurant meer

8.5

The hotel was ideal for our purpose (ie post-arrival at Bergamo airport). The staff were more than helpful, the room was large, clean and comfortable, and the value was excellent. The surrounding area left a little to be desired, but this was fine for a transit hotel. The noise of the roads, and the paucity of the breakfast towards the end of the period were the only criticisms of the hotel. Great value for money though, and a recommendation if a simple overnight is required.

8.9

Just passing through from Bergamo airport - would stay there again.

8.3

Very good for access to Milan Bergamo airport by car, but nothing else in the area.

5.9

In my opinion, I would not say this is a 4 stars hotel. It is too expensive for what it offers, or at least what we found. We are a young couple and just needed a place for one night near Bergamo because we were taking a flight back home from holidays next day. We paid 90€ for a very simple, old looking, dark double room. Just for one night, ok, but I would not like to be there alone for work just one night. The surroundings are a horror, I mean, it is situated in an industrial area, not a place to have a walk or see something, there is just a bar-restaurant (MOE's) (was good there) and a not so good looking chinese restaurant around the hotel. The night we were there, the restaurant of the hotel was closed. I would not go back, not even for work (the feeling of traveling alone is already sad enough sometimes; there, I think it is worse).

8.4

I just slept in the Hotel to catch an early flight from Orio al Serio

6.3

The environment is not very beautiful and pleasant but it was not the purpose of our stay. We did a single stop-over on course to Croatia and the hotel was quite OK for such a purpose.

7.2

correct for one night during travelling problem with other guest (chinese people) noisy,careless of calm, spitting and so on in the morning fucking cowboys

6.2

The Hotel was great, the receptionist was very helpful she gave us directions and info on places to see and how to get there. We caught the bus from Lallio to Bergamo with no difficulty the buses are very frequent and the bus stop close to the hotel. We found everyone exstemely helpful.

9.6

The hotel has an excellent location.The staffs are extremely helpfull.Room is clean, spacious and comfortable.The break-fasts were quiet good.We enjoyed our stay at hotel Donizetti and will definitely stay there again and will recomend our friends and family to stay there.

5.7

Tea and coffee making facilities were not available in any room. We had a party of 14 and none of the rooms had this facility despite this facility being advertised. When thsi was pointed out to the hotel staff, they didnt understand what it was that we required. Also check out times stated 12.00, hotel got rather annoyed as check out times are in fact 10.30, not as advertised. Apart from the miserable staff on reception, the cleaners most polite and courteous. I do like to get what I expect or at least get put right whatever it is that isnt!

8.0

I was disappointed that the internet connection was available only through phone dialing and the internet point in the lobby was not functioning. The dinner I had at the restaurant of the hotel was very good.

9.5

excellent appartment up to 6 people

8.9

All services is high quality, The rooms are clean and confortable, just at little noise come from conference hall on ground floor if stay on first floor. the restaurant offered many regional and italian dishs included huge choise of italians wines. I recommended!

7.9

A good hotel, for a good price. A bit difficult to find, especially when coming from the airport (Orio al Serio) at night. from the outside the sign of the restaurant "Il teatro" is much more visible than the sign of the hotel itself! Above average price/quality level. Location is good - within 10 minutes in the heart of Bergamo by car. So all in all a very good place to stay for a few nights...but be prepared for a hard time trying to find the hotel at night or in the dark, as there are few and poorly visible signs!

9.9

une véritable petite suite a été mise à notre disposition rapport qualité prix tout à fait correct un seul bémol : l'insonorisation imparfaite

7.7

Not good, not bad. Something in the middle. Wouldn't stay there for longer than a weekend. If you just need a clean room with a bed, it's ok anyway...

9.5

Rooms is tidy and cosy. The beds are very good, airconditioning is perfect. Only the curtains were not properly hung. Surroundings are not very interesting but you are close to Bergamo which is very nice.

7.9

The room was very spacious, luxurious and clean. Only the first morning the breakfast was a mass due to lack of organisation. There was just one person available! Second morning everything was o.k. and staff asked us if today everything was fine!!

6.6

difficult to find late at night on leaving bergamo airport could use better directions on web.hotel not in center of Bergamo needs car to visit easily

8.8

We really enjoyed our overnight stay. Our only problem was finding the hotel from the airport. The on-line directions named streets and roads which were imossible for a first-time visitor to identify, while driving on strange roads at Italian speeds!! If in the area, we would certainly use this hotel again.

8.6

Very good location for airport users, quiet and 5 minutes to airport. Very friendly staff for early morning start, prepared breakfast and supplied newspaper even at very early hour. Fridge in the room was full of beverages. Overall great quality for price paid. I would certainly recommend it.

10

We were with my husband in Hotel Donizetti, and we think both everything was very excellent. We felt us very well and we was content. We will travel in the next year to Salone Mobili and we would like to book a room in this hotel again.

4.9

I liked the idea of having an apartment to accommodate my family, but was not expecting it to be in a resident block outwith the main hotel. It had to be accessed externally, and the stairwell leading to the apartment seemed to be suffering from one of the neighbour's dog's toilet habits. Sleeping turned out to be very difficult indeed. We were wakened twice by a car with an incredibly loud soundsystem, and our upstairs neghbour spent half the night moving furniture. It was so loud, I got out of bed to make sure he wasn't in our apartment! Don't eat in the hotel dining room - the food is very poor and expensive. Will we go back? Definitely not - did not represent value for money at all.

9.4

Very nice. 10 minutes from the 'Citta Alta' of Bergamo by car. Be advised that some sunday are "ecological days", meaning that you cannot go to Bergamo with your car (at least in Feb.) I only wish the breakfasts at the hotel were more complete...

8.2

Quit good and clean all the apartments need is a small kitchen.

9.2

The hotel is in an ideal position if your are looking to explore the area between Milan and Venice, being close to the A4. It is also handy for some mountain resorts. The appartment was ideal for a family.

7.0

Nice hotel but we would have expected more for a 4 stars. There is no heating in the bathroom!

6.7

It is probably not fair for me to review this venue since we stayed on the 1st of January. It would have helped if at the time of booking it had been made clear that the kitchens would be closed,no room service or food available and only a skeleton staff on duty. That said staff were courteous and it wasn't their fault that the nearest open restaurant was a MacDonalds 3 km away.

7.0

buono

7.9

The dinner at your restaurant was far too expensive and the beef came with no potatoes/bread or chips and no vegetable. The waitress at breakfasttime was very unmotivated and unfriendly. Our room was excellent. Thank you!

3.9

Bedroom had a bad odour of stale cigarette smoke. Breakfast was poor and not as described, i.e no English breakfast available.

8.9

Reception staffs were very kind and room was specious and clean.

10

Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Spacious rooms! We loved our stay there. It was my favorite hotel in all of Italy! Thank you!

8.1

Restaurant is a little bit expensive and the English language is not very common (but communication was possible). However, staff is very friendly and considerate.

3.9

for a four star hotel thought the breakfast quality left alot to be desired as did the restaurant. staff were aloof and the location of the hotel was only ideal if you had your own transport. As i am a businessman i found that having only one internet point which was out of order at the time most inconvenient

7.8

Good value hotel, strange location, a bit worn in places

6.5

very bad breakfast, for the price, the buffet was´nt nice enough. The employee in the night was very nice, great welcoming.

7.7

we booked a 4 person room an got a appartment with 2 big rooms that was good. only thing that was bad ist that ther were no chairs in the appartment.

9.6

this hotel is a very nice place to stay because you have great quality of service, space, clean rooms, and it's on the main road from the highway (exit Dalmine) and Bergamo. The breakfast is a bit poor but you can buy food or have meals all around the hotel as it is a sort of "activity zone" with bakery, gelateria, restaurants. The direct surroundings of the hotel are not beautiful but it's ok for a short stay. Not expensive Internet at the reception.

8.2

El hotel se enncuentra en Lallio. Salida Dalmine, luego dirigirse hacia la derecha dirección Bérgamo.

9.8

we couldnt find it for about an hour!!!!!!!!!

6.4

Fine hotel located in a bad area. Air conditioning not working correctly.

8.0

A pretty good hotel, clean, comfortable, nice breakfast included in price. Would definitely recommend for staying in the Bergamo area ....... handy for both town and airport.

9.5

The only facility that would have been made our stay more enjoyable would have been the ability to make tea or coffee in our room. There was no kettle or cups available.

5.1

So far from centre of The Bergamo. Never told us that this hotel is not in Bergamo . This area name is LALIO not Bergamo

9.1

I was very pleased with the quality of service from the very start! for me the first impression is very important and it was the last impression ! the price was alittle high but the staff made up for that with there kindness !!! thumps up !! Antonio

7.2

Good welcoming in spite of arriving late in the night. Only problem was to fins the way from the airport by car.

7.9

Restaurant should have some smoking areas

9.8

We really enjoyed our short stay in Bergamo Italy. We had just traveled by late night plane from France and it was a welcoming sight to see the accomadations that were awaiting us. Thanks for making our stay enjoyable.

7.1

very far from town and airport but close to buses to town centre.

7.4

busy through-road, e.g. noicy when windows open. we would have liked real, plain bread for breakfast. But . . . Very, very clean hotel. Very good stay, -overall-, very satisfied

8.1

Some SOFTER lights will be very nice in the appartment we were in. There only were these BRIGHT lights, wich was'nt very cosy. Or when you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, the light strikes you!

8.0

Close to airport so convenient place to stay for airport access. Signs along road for directions can be confusing at times, a better map on web site showing direction from airport would be good.

7.7

Very good hotel, the only problem being that it not that easy to locate in Bergamo and the information on Venere website as to its location should definitely be made more accurate. I do suggest future customers to email the hotel and ask for precise explanation once they have booked there. This apart, the hotel is worth the money.

7.9

Good functional accomadation for the traveller. Would recommend to others. Suggestion - Attracting airport passengers, breakfast should be available earlier than 7:30. Anyone with a flight before 10:00am can't have breakfast.

9.5

the hotel was fantasitc, four star all the way! the staff went out of their way to help us, spoke very good english and printed out timetables for the trains and buses for us to get about. on one occassion the resturant was open early especially for us and a lunch was brought out on request at arrival. very good!

9.5

The hotel was very nice and the staff was extrememly helpful.

9.5

Great short break apart from restaurant/bar being closed on the Sunday night due to inadequate staffing levels, which had a knock on effect in that breakfast was poor the following morning. Only other complaint is that would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in room, otherwise friendly staff, lovely hotel and relaxing break.

5.2

Dear sirs, we would like to inform you, that the service in the a.m. hotel do not correspond to the 4 stars. The service at the breakfast ist very unkindly and you have to ask serveral times to ask for further servises. Furthermore we claimed the loss of 2 small toys (animals) which disappeared after cleaning the room. The reception was not able to inform us immediately but promissed us to inform us by fax or email about their investigation. We are not very surprised not to hear nothing up til now. After all we suggest you to remove this hotel from your list in order to avoid further claims. Nevertheless - due to the point that we are serveral times in Mailand a year - we would appreciate to hear from you. best regards CASA delle scarpe CD.Muhs

9.9

Everything was ok, we had a great stay and would do it again. thanks

9.3

8 of us stayed and had a great weekend. Only comment being-we thought it would be closer to Bergamo centre and the train station. Would recommend the Hotel to anyone wanting to go to Monza, very easy to get to by car from this Hotel (about 18kms).

9.4

An excellent overnight stay. Very convenient for the airport. We would certainly use Donizetti again.

7.9

The hotel room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast supplied was fine but the dining area a little cramped. My only major problem was that I had great difficuty in locating the hotel. I drove by it a number of times but the prominence given to the name of the Restaurant on the Sign erected outside the hotel in large writing above the name of the hotel in much smaller writing meant that I did not see the name of the hotel. I would really have appreciated tea-making facilities in the bedroom of a four star hotel. I had this facility in the Crowne Plaza in Milan where I stayed the previous 2 nights at a comparable price.

9.9

I was very satisfied I booked one room for one night for 2 adults with 2 children and we got a little appartment consisting in 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room. the whole was air conditionned.

9.3

A real nice hotel - but not very well known by the local taxi drivers - I do not understand why? The personal was very friendly - we got at 5.30 in the morning a delicious cappucino and croissant as we left before breakfast time

8.4

This hotel is an ideal the-night-before-you-fly location as it is located very near to the Orio al Serio airport (taxi costs about 15 euro). Service is perfect, the only minus is: the surroundings are very dull. But, it's only 20 minutes by bus to Bergamo centre so even that is an option!

7.5

The hotel restaurant is closed on a Sunday night which wasn't advertised before our stay. Therefore we were stuck for an evening meal and there is only a chinese nearby.

5.6

Four Stars? I don't think so. Restuarant closed so, being somewhat isolated, we had to drive to the nearest, reasonable restuarant. Breakfast too was very poor, unless you like stale bread rolls. We were given an apartment in an adjoining building as we had reserved a four bedded suite. This was actually pretty good. Even though the air con couldn't quite cope, the room was spacious, with seperate bedroom and a good sized bathroom and power shower. Would I go there again? Not if I could find a suitable alternative.

7.0

A clean modern conference hotel, devoid of charms and in rather grim surroundings, but conveniently close to BGY airport.

9.7

The stay was without surprises: from Sat to Sun with a complete breakfast on Sun before 07:00 in the morning. We told them, that we would have to be early at the airport - so they offered the breakfast even 10 minutes earlier. The price through venere.com was Euro 85,00 - in our room was a pricelist - normally they offer the same room for Euro 180,00!!! Nice, large and clean room with excellent beds, minibar, Sat-TV and a large bathroom. The only thing is to find the place "LALLIO" - that can be a bit difficult, especially at night. I looked into a map on www.multimap.com that helped very much - even with the coordinates for my simple GPS provided! We would stay there again but don't take an expensive taxi: we rented the smallest car, HERTZ could give us at the airport for two days for EURO 82,00 ("World on wheels") - that is cheaper than taking a taxi for three rides in the Bergamo-area! The last thing: at the reception they hadn't a street-map from Bergamo and the surroundings...

9.6

I was impressed by the verbal directions over the phone in good English and particularly the assistance of the receptionist (male) who volunteered to contact our car hire company to help sort out a small problem. The management were also very helpful about storing our luggage after we had officially checked out.I would definitely use the hotel again and recommend it to my friends.

7.1

The hotel is more of a business hotel than a tourist hotel but it is modern, clean and well laid out. The problem is its location. If you do not have your own vehicle the cost of taxi fares to and from, average €15 each way to Bergamo can build up, particularly if you want to return to the hotel before you go out again in the evening. We did not have an evening meal at the hotel because we wanted to enjoy the restaurants in Bergamo Alta, but it did not appear to be cheap.

8.4

Not quite what you'd expect from 4* but you always get what you pay for and with that in mind it was great value for money. Reception staff were friendly and imformative. In hindsight I would however have prefered to have stayed in the Alta part of Bergamo as this hotel was a little far from the centre and the airport.

9.7

Excellent value for the money in the Bergamo area. It is difficult to access by public transportation and an expensive taxi ride is the easiest way to get to it from the airport.

5.4

we had reserved a wheelchair accessible room for a few nights. on arrival the room had twin beds instead of a double that was booked, not much of a problem, so we took it. however on entrance to the room my wheelchair could not even get into the room by bedside, just the bathroom. our room got exchanged for a bigger room so i could at least get into a bed, but there was no disabled bathroom available. its no good having a wheelchair accessible bathroom, when a wheelchair will not fit into the bedroom. the staff were very pleasant and friendly, and the hotel was very clean. the location of the hotel needs a hire car to appreciate the area. we used it as a base for the superbike round at monza, about 40 mins away (easy access to autoroute) but also travelled upto a couple of lakes which were in easy reach.

9.6

We had a very nice stay at Donisetti. The only thing we missed was a terras, to sit and enjoy the sun. If we return to Milan/Bergamo, we will again go to Donisetti.

8.7

Hotel is some distance from the centre of Bergamo in a suburb, and on quite a busy main road. Access from Autostrada very easy. Restaurant good and reasonable value for money, but there are cheaper places to eat very close if necessary. Staff could not have been more helpful.

5.2

breakfast poorest standard. Taxi from airport 41 EURO (!)

5.5

the only real dissapointment with this hotel was where it was situated. from what we had learned of it on the net we thought it was closer to milano. it would have probably been worth paying extra for a hotel in the centre of the city because of the amount you end up spending on travel while you are over there

9.8

Hotel was new, modern and well equipped. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant offered reasonably priced and good food. It suited us well as a stop off point, but would not be so convenient if you wished to see lots of Bergamo as it is located outsided the town in an industrial estate.

8.9

We just stayed one night, arriving late an leaving early. We did not have enough opportunity to experience the service level but we surely can recommend Donizetti.

8.2

no charm at all, but very confortable. in the suburb (not the pretty one) it looks more like a business hotel than a tourist one. but the people there were very nice & helpful.

8.3

The Donizetti was a excellent facility. The front desk staff was most gracious and helpful. We stayed three nights. The breakfast was good but the same each morning. The Donizetti should place direction signs to the hotel as soon as you exit the autostrada.

9.3

we have had problems to find the hotel.our rentalcarcompany was out with maps. all in all really nice hotel..

6.4

This is not a 4 Star Hotel: TV was not working (was replaced) hair dryer was not working bar was not open during published opening hours eggs were not available at breakfast

9.0

Very good price/quality ratio! Hotel is located in a suburb of bergamo, it takes about 10 mins with the bus (#15a/b i think) to get to the city centre and cost about 1 €. Very easy!

8.1

Excellent weekend was had by all our party Many Thanks Steve Will use and recomend Hotel Donzetti

7.4

I was expecting a hotel in / in the immediate proximity of Bergamo. However, I found that the hotel was far away from Bergamo and quite remote form anything of interest, like good restaurents, walking areas, etc.

8.1

very good, fits the expectations

6.9

The dinner served there (of half-bord) was one of the worst one in Italy I experienced. The others are OK.

7.3

breakfast was not good, nothing there but bread. not many amenities, but room was cheap, spacious, and good value for price.

7.9

Hotel was adequate for our 1st night in Itlay adn was very easy to find from the airport - very good sign posting

7.1

A good quality hotel and room. Very good view from the balcony. The only problem encountered- staff did not speak English and we do not speak Italian, but we got by.
