Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Piazza Vecchia enjoys a superb location in the heart of Bergamo's historic center, placing guests within easy reach of Piazza Vecchia and just a short walk from the airport bus. Guests frequently praise the spacious and quiet rooms, some offering lovely mountain views and equipped with tea/coffee facilities and a fridge; however, some have noted the noise from the surroundings in the early morning. The breakfast often receives positive mentions, especially the cappuccinos, with convenient luggage storage available for exploring the beautiful cobbled streets, gorgeous buildings, and fabulous views of Citta Alta.
