Foresteria Gavazzeni

Molto

The room was clean, basic but perfectly functional /essential. Fine for one night.

The hotel is in the back of the train station (which could be good) but on a side that is quite isolated wish the occasional shady character walking around. No restaurants or caffès etc in the immediate vicinity, for any of that you have to cross back through the train station and exit on the other side. I am told that the location is very good for people who need to visit the nearby hospital, but it not so great for visiting the town/tourism, especially for getting around in the evening. My train was half an hour late, and so I arrived at 19:30 (I had notified the owner) ; when I got there he seemed impatient to leave and annoyed to be asked questions . I found his attitude rather gruff and not very hospitable. That said, it was mostly the location which was not ideal as it was isolated.

Lovely clean, modern property. Spacious room, lots of light. Plenty sockets. Beautiful bathroom with great shower. And best of all, feather duvet and pillows! Which I loved, I hate blankets!

The location didn’t suit me as a solo female traveller. My own fault for not reading a previous review warning of the underpass to get to the property. It’s scary! I had an uncomfortable incident walking thru it, at about 8pm, no way would I walk thru it later at night. Also, the breakfast area is where the owners reception desk in. I was the only person having breakfast, and it was rather awkward us both sitting facing each other, with no conversation. I would rather some privacy to enjoy my breakfast. I wasn’t shown where anything was either, so I had to keep asking, please may I have a coffee, can I have a spoon for my cereal, where are the knives etc. My previous accommodation I was shown where everything was when I checked in.

Andrea is a great host and gave a great restaurant recommendation which was top. The room is clean, simple and comfortable. The breakfast is a nice variety and beyond just the packaged biscuits. The location is right behind the train station so convenient for your buses or trains. AC was nice and cold in the summer heat.

The wifi was a little spotty in my room but nothing moving to the breakfast area didn't fix.
