Hotel Villa Ottoboni

I m not sure if the price is very low compared to other hotels in this charming small city, but this hotel definetly needs some kind of renovation. The charme is truly and originally dating from 1970, so when you are interested in unfalsified 70ies settings.... The rooms are very clean, but somewhat small, the bathtub, where you have to shower, is dangerously leaning towards an obstructiom, the safe didn't work and the breakfast is, except the fresh coffee you can order, terrible! But, oh, but, the staff is really so attentive and friendly that, Now I know all the disadvantages, I might came back next year!

Must admit I don’t travel a lot in this part of Italy for work and didn’t know where to combine my stay plus and important business meeting. Well Villa Ottoboni was indeed the right choice. Elegant, with an impeccable service. The garden, represented a pleasant variation to standard meeting rooms. Had a great time and for sure will return and I fully recommend.

I stayed at this hotel on and off for about 3 weeks. The rooms definitely could use some updating but the quality of the staff and awesome location make up for the weaknesses. It is not a 3 or 4 star by American Standards but not many European Hotels meet our expectations if they are affordable. You must keep an open mind and you will enjoy your trip!!

don't know where to begin. most of the staff is great and very helpful. but they can't help the fact this place is old and run down. several rooms the air conditoning is non existant. and many rooms have a tiny tiny shower stall. the rooms are so outdated and the beds are as hard as the floor. location is good but that is really the only positive.

Horrible accommodations. Rooms were disgusting and the carpet was so dingy looking that we didn't even want to walk on it with bare feet. The only two positive things about this hotel was the staff was very courteous and it was close to the shopping areas. Over priced...they should have paid us to stay there.

Being a veteran of uncountable youth hostels all around the world in my earlier days I have to say that this was the worst hotel experience I ever had! We traveled with two small children and stayed for 1 night (originally planed were 2 nights). Our room as well as the bathroom and an small extra room with a sink (the purpose of which did not become entirely clear) was unbelievable dirty and had not been cleaned prior to our stay. Power plugs were hanging out of the wall and the whole room was smelly and dusty. The furniture was very old with multiple stains of very questionable heritage on the carpet and walls. The bathroom was a complete disaster - my wife was not able to use the bathroom during our stay. Unfortunately we were not able to change to a different hotel because there were absolutely no other hotel rooms availabe in town due to a big convention at that time. The breakfast was very basic and definitely not up to par to 4* standards. The only positive aspect was the reception personel which was very friendly although most of them did not understand a single word of english. We had friends staying at the same hotel and their room seemed to be ok. In summary especially given the price of 130 Euro this experience was a total disaster and made us cut our trip short one day in order to avoid another night in this room.

This is a grand old dame which has had its rooms redone (stark 60's style) for business travelers. The rooms are functional if not a bit dated. Front desk service is exceptional (especially Cesare!) and the breakfast better than decent. No wi-fi but computer hook ups in the lobby. They were without a chef in the restaurant for some time but the restaurant is now reopened. It is reasonably close to the train/bus station and in downtown so convenient for business travelers. Good value for the money but definitely not luxurious. Parking is limited.
