Vicenza Hostels

A four-star dreaming of being a two-star. I am sure that, maybe in its heyday, Hotel de la Ville was a prime business. Clearly, those days are long gone. The rooms, the corridors, the building in general is clearly dating, but management resorts to one of the oldest tricks in the trade: keep a decent lobby, just to save face. Quite large (50, 80 even 160 people) overnight groups from places not known for their high sanitation standards travelling on low-cost tours along with guests more used to hostels than hotels, some of them carrying huge dogs, seem to be its market niche. Imagine. In all fairness, Hotel de la Ville delivers the quality corresponding exactly to the price it charges, thus meaning: cheap is cheap and a four-stars, in reality, is a two-stars. I should not complain either about a €3 breakfast even if it includes staled cornetti, runny scrambled eggs, expired milk, badly kept yoghurt, awful coffee and ¾ foam, rather cold capuccinos or a $80 room with bad housekeeping. To add insult to injury, Hotel de la Ville is located in a tough neighborhood where strange, suspicious characters from a shelter next door continuously hover around the property, especially at night.

The hotel is very close to the train station, just a 5-minute walk. The rooms are small but tidy. Breakfast is a bit simple, but sufficient. The front desk is very polite.

I stayed at Hotel Victoria on my way out of Vicenza for 5 nights in November 2021. What an impressive hotel! Plenty of free parking on arrival, the lobby was large, super clean, and modern with plenty of seating. I booked a single room but was pleasantly surprised at how large the bed and room were. The bathroom was spotless and spacious. Given all of this information, the part I was most appreciative of was the staff. From the moment I checked in they were polite, attentive, and helpful. I was assisted several times over the 5 days, using their front desk printing services, borrowing the desk clerk for translation assistance, and grabbing a drink at the bar where the reception staff doubled as the bartender! Their breakfast was phenomenal! It was very extensive inclusive of hot and cold menu items, fresh fruits, yogurt, cheese, meats and all the Italian coffee you want and the breakfast staff was EXCELLENT! When I arrived in Vicenza, I stayed at another local hotel that was so awful I left after 2 days, I wish I would have known about this hotel!! Overall, my stay was outstanding, and I would highly recommend this hotel to ANYONE coming into Vicenza. It’s about a 6-minute drive to Caserma Ederle and MUCH better than other hotels that may closer. I would give them 10-stars if I could; exceptional hotel!

This hotel was very convenient to get into the centre of Vicenza on foot. It was very clean and functional. However, what was completely outstanding was all the staff. Every single person we encountered was unfailingly, helpful polite, kind pleasant.

Hotel booked by friends. It has great potential but it has been left away. The over-consumed bed heads do not make a good effect. The cleaning is top. The breakfast leaves to be desired, in paper stoves (!) Sorry because the place is well connected and near the Fair, and with a large parking. Receptionists seem to fall a little from the clouds when you ask something.

The room is relatively small and upgraded with a balcony. Rich breakfast and easy parking

Handy location, a couple of minutes walk to the city centre plus maybe 10 minutes to an Aldi. Reception is open 24 hours and staff were friendly & professional. Our room was quite large, clean and comfortable - a bit dated, could really use a refurbishment but it did the job. Air conditioning worked well, we had a fridge and everything we could need. Plenty of storage, extra pillows 👍 Breakfast was good - a selection of pastries, cereals, fruit, yoghurt and bread/toast plus eggs, bacon etc. Espresso from the machine was not great, but oh well. My only real complaint was that our room overlooked an internal courtyard, which seemed to be constantly used by loud talkers (not sure if this was other guests with windows open though).

The location is very convenient in the ancient city, the hotel is small but elegantly furnished. The disadvantage is that it is very cold at night, and the heating is turned on at 6 o'clock, and the heating in the bathroom has never been heated, and the bath can only rely on the heat of hot water. Winter is not warm enough.

Posizione molto centrale e comoda. Struttura curata e piacevole, nonostante gli spazi non eccessivamente ampi nelle camere ma comunque molto funzionali e curati. Palazzo storico completamente ristrutturato in chiave moderna. Letti comodi. Bagno piccolo ma molto funzionale con doccia ampia. Colazione soddisfacente. Personale gentile e flessibile sugli orari di check out.
