Inn Albergo Meublè Abatjour - Mantua

Oct 2011. Warm reception, excellent clean spacious room. Skylight a bit light and noisy in rain, but not seriously so. Good deal for budget travelers. Be aware there are no facilities or public rooms, token 2 Euro breakfast is at a nearby restaurant. If touring without a car, or not wanting to take your car into the centre, be aware that this hotel is not within walking distance of town and sights; that half-hourly buses stop at 2000; that a taxi back will cost between 10 and 15 euros (7 from station).

My family and I spent one night at the Meuble Abatjour and we were happy with the stay. The rooms are large for Italian standards and immaculately clean. Parking is free in the parking lot just outside the hotel. We didn't have any problems finding the hotel by just plugging the address on our GPS. The hotel has a continual relationship with a couple of local restaurants which allow guests to get discounted meals. We took advantage of that and ate at a restaurant a couple of blocks away that was very good and reasonable in price. Another great thing about the hotel is the young man who runs the reception. I didn't catch his name but he and his family were very pleasant and gave us good info regarding the area. The only two negatives about the hotel are its location, since its relatively far from the historical center, and the lack of breakfast offerings, which we kind of expect whenever we stay in any hotel. All in all, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone spending time in Mantova.
