Hotel San Giorgio - Bergamo

2.8

The quality of this hotel was hostel-like; this would have been acceptable if it were thirty euros instead of eighty. The room was small, dim, and chilly. The lights all went out when too many things were switched on. The housekeeper twice entered without knocking when we were in the room. There was no breakfast. The price was not at all in line with the quality.

7.9

Room was ok,we only used it for sleeping. Noisey neighbours a couple of nights. Staff could not have been more helpful. I (we) would stay there again. Hotel is only a 5 min walk from anywhere you want to go.

9.2

very helpful Bergamo old town great to visit hotel not far from rail station close to rail track

8.0

The cheapest hotel we could find for a double room. Handy location, close to the train station (15min walk). Very clean room and bathroom area. Most of all, a very welcoming and helpful staff.

6.0

Quite expensive for what was offered (which seems to be the rule in Bergamo), but a good stay for 1-2 nights if you arrive late in the evening. Otherwise it might be reasonable look for hotels not available via the internet....during our last stay in Bergamo, we managed to get a better price/quality relationship

8.3

we needed a place to stay for one night to break a long drive. The hotel was perfectly adequate and pretty good value as a place to sleep, but appeared to have little else to offer (no breakfast, not a lot of charm). The front desk recommended a pizzeria nearby which was excellent .

7.4

In Bergamo hotels seem to be quite expensive,so compereted to that,this wasn´t expensive,even if we are used to pay less.Hotel didn´t have any restaurant services,but there was coffee-automat in lounge,and a cup of coffee/tea/capuccino was 60cent.Hotel was little far from historical centre,but not too far to walk-if you ask us.Man at reception was very friendly,and spoke English.

0.7

Worst hotel experience ever. Don´t book this hotel on the internet because they put you in the basement and say that it is impossible to change or cancel a reservation. Our room had a view to a brick wall, when you opened the window people could walk into the room and it was so hot that we couldn’t enter it during the day and only slept for moments during the night. The neighborhood is depressing. The hotel is surrounded by two busy main roads entering the town and a noisy railway line and there are no shops or cafes for a mile or two, only immigrant workers hanging out. They might have better rooms but insist on seeing the room!

2.1

Although family rooms were clean and fairly spacious they were very noisy - lots of traffic noise right outside the room. No air conditioning therefore very uncomfortable. No breakfast facility/cafe or restaurant. Only vending machines available with very limited and over priced goods for sale. Overall, not value for money and would not use this hotel again.

5.0

Not the best hotel I`ve stayed in, when you compare price and standard. I stayed for two nights, and it was ok, no more no less.

2.3

Después de dr un montón de vueltas para encontrarlo, pagamos 65€ por una habitación doble con una ventana pegada a unas escaleras exteriores del edificio; aparte de la evidente falta de seguridad, toda la noche oímos ruido de coches que circulaban por la carretera contigua, y por la mañana, cuando fuimos a asearnos en uno de los dos minúsculos baños comunitarios del pasillo, no podíamos dar crédito: la ducha era un tubo con alcachofa que pendía de la pared justo encima del bidet y del wc, apuntando directamete al papel higiénico y sin plato en el suelo. Por supuesto el desayuno no está incluído en el precio, que dadas las circunstancias me pareció excesivo, más aún después de conocer el magnífico albergue de la ciudad.

8.1

Good sized room, but boy were they hot! I know it was summer when I stayed, but the room, even with the fan going (no AC) didn't get down to a temperature it was easy to sleep in. Friendly staff, and easy access to train station and town. Oh and the airport.

5.2

Thought the hotell was in the old city. A very warm day 32C and no aircondtion in the room. The fan was nosy and the only window to the backyard had to be open. This told us that we where close to the railwaysstation and the airport.

5.5

Very basic, only suitable for a one night stop over. Room very hot, although there were 2 fans which helped us sleep.Convenient if you've an early flight- 10 mins(if no traffic) and 15 euro by taxi to the airport. We found a good restaurant just down the road called Gio'.

5.7

Afternoon and night staff very friendly and helpful. No language problems. However, despite no smoking rule, room smelt slightly of stale cigarette smoke. I woke coughing during night, had to open window and couldn´t sleep due to traffic noise. For that reason alone, I would not stay there again.

8.7

Basic accomodation, but no major complaints, staff were very helpful and gave us a free map of the local area which was very useful, and explained things very clearly (English is spoken.) Overall, very happy with this stay.

6.5

For a fairly cheap hotel this is an ok place to stay. Its close to the station and easy to find, the rooms are clean although ours was quite dark and gloomy. The shared bathrooms were clean and we never struggled to find one free. The vending machines in the foyer would be ok for breakfast if you were desperate but I wouldn't really say that they were a substitute for a proper meal!

7.3

close to station and airport bus

8.7

Basic clean cheap hotel just perfect for a one night stay arriving late from Bergamo airport. Watch out though if you are as daft as me - we couldn't get a hot shower but there is some dial you must turn near the floor first to get hot water. If you can't figure out you should get help from the staff. Would be even better if a kettle and teabags/coffee were provided as we arrived late craving a wee cup of tea. Cost us 20 Euros for a taxi from the airport (don't know if this is standard) - thought it would have been a bit closer but not too far away.

6.9

You get what you pay for. Very helpful staff. Convenient for the airport. Walking distance from the centre of town and even from the old town. Located in between busy streets but the double glacing keeps the traffic noise at bay. Great for a weekend.

2.8

I stayed for one night in the hotel with my wife. We both think that the hotel is the worst we stayed in Italy. There are many rooms but no proper place to take a shower. The shower is located in the toilet so when you shower the toilet seat gets wet. So we chose not to use th shower. The rooms were stinking cigarette smoke, humid air or old furniture. It was very noisy: motorbikes, train track nextdoor not to mention the airplanes taking off from Orio. Location is good close to the center and in walking distance to Alta Citta. Friendly staff with good English but no elevator to carry luggages to the third floor. So many comments I am writing for a one night stay since we have been frustrated.

4.6

SOLAMENTE ESTUVIMOS UNA NOCHE. ASI QUE PARA UNA NOCHE ESTA OK. LAS HABITACION ESTAB LIMPIA PERO ERA MUY OSCURA Y BASTANTE ANTIGUA. NECESITARIA UNA REFORMA. EL HOTEL BIEN SITUADO, CERCANO AL CENTRO DE LA CIUDAD BAJA. PERSONAL AMABLE. BIEN PARA UNA NOCHE PERO NO PARA UNA ESTANCIA MAS LARGA.

7.4

Room included sink with hot and cold tap and mirror, nothing more. Room in general basic but clean as far as I could see in the dim light and functional for our purpose - we arrived early morning and went straight to bed - hungry mind, as there was only a vending machine which we didn't see on the way in. great cappuccino from it though, only 60cents. Left the next day as arranged. Slept right the way through- although its by a road you hear nothing when you close the double glazing, and blackout curtains were great. A let down was that the shower was over the toilet, and, as stated when we booked, was communal, so I didn't risk it (it looked a bit messy in the morning). They kept our baggage while sight-seeing Bergamo, for free.

8.0

_

8.9

Basic clean hotel in a good location within walking distance of main thoroughfare, bus and railway stations. I'd definitely stop here again on route when flying to/from Bergamo airport.

7.2

Double room was very nice and as appeared on website. Surrounding area was a little run down. Hotel was hard to find from map given. Location was good - very central.

8.4

Reasonable basic hotel about 10 minutes walk from the railway station.

9.1

All in all recomendable, that´s for sure. Easy to reach by bus (from Airport)and train as well, because near main station. Room, employees, service - 100 % correct. The price for single (40 € without private bathroom and breakfast)appears a bit high, but - to me - ok. I would come back anytime.

7.7

Though in site write, that the information on a credit card is information character, however money reserved and in two more weeks after use of services and full payment, the hotel has withdrawn reservation money.

7.2

The hotel debited my card one week before my travel, later I got the money back, so it was not a big problem, but you have to prepare that they probably (usually) do this because they do not want to risk their money. But the hotel was ok, it is not far from the central station and Bergamo is really beautiful.

6.2

Our stay was very quick. In late on evening and out early the next morning. The hotel was o.k. for a short stay. The rooms were not very sound proof. We would hear people up and down the halls all evening. We had three rooms two were clean and one smelled a lot like cigarette smoke.

7.4

Very helful friendly staff. Hotel near to rail station.Must visit old city if in Bergamo, it is stunning!!

5.2

expensive and noisy (not even breakfast included)

7.8

Good budget hotel close to railway station for bus to airport. Great for an overnight stay between flights

7.5

Not too far from the station - a bit of a challenge if you have heavy luggage. In the new part of town, quite far from the historic part of town. A bit far from restaurants and shops - not the best part of town to be in at night. Nothing wrong with the hotel itself, comfortable room and well priced.

5.2

Hotel is OK for the price - but nothing to write home about

7.8

We stay in a quadruple room, to rest until the aeroplane time. We must leave the hotel at the 5.oo am and the hotel arranged us a taxi to taked us to the airport. They are very friendly. We just don't like the shower because the water run to all the bathroom floor. Is a good alternative to catch the aeroplane early in Bergamo Orio al Serio.

9.2

The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel is clean and welcoming. There is no lift. My room was large enough, but the en suite bathroom was small. The shower cubicle was tiny - I continually knocked the shower control when I turned around. The hotel is situated on the edge of the town centre, so there is quite a hike to the attractions. The hotel is on a bus route.

7.5

Very handy for train station, and no problems arriving late (got in about 10pm). Stayed the one night - wouldn't want to stay much longer.

4.8

Quite expensive for a room with external bathroom, but ok for one night- close to the train station, friendly staff. There is a much closer way from the station to the hotel, but it leads to the back door, which might be the reason why it is not explained like that.

5.6

We found the room to be quite spacious but very basic. The price was high for the quality offered. We found the room quite noisy, especially in the morning and our bathroom had a sewage smell, although it seemed clean.

7.4

The hotel delivered everything we expected location was very good for the train station which is the main reason why we stayed here as we had an early flight to catch. There didnt seem to be alot of choice for restaurants near by unless you wanted pizza. All in all a good place to stay for the night.

9.7

Arrived late, no problem, helpful chap on reception. indicated a cool bar that did late food (wicked large hot foccacia), the room was v.clean, and all for 37euros (single)5-10mins walk from station.Overall - excellent.

5.2

We checked in at 8:30am of Dec. 3 and informed the hotel beforehand about our early arrival but the room was not ready when we arrived. When we arrived at the hotel, we told the receptionist, we will just leave our luggages and we will be back in the evening for check out. Basically, we would want to go to Milan for a couple of hours before we fly back to Frankfurt in the evening. The receptionist was very rude. We were treated like dirt! Just because we booked for a single room and we were two. But for heaven's sake!, we are not even staying, we just need to leave our 2 suitcases. That is all! The receptionist did not allow my friend to go up, not even to use the bathroom. I will never ever use this hotel again. Ever! When we went to Venice, we have stayed at a 189 euro hotel, San Giorgio might be only 37 euro for heaven's sake! but the quality of service speaks for itself. Very rude staff, no customer service at all. I am just wondering if they ever know what customer service means at all!!! I was shocked and very disappointed such attitude exists in a hotel industry where customer service is of prime importance!

8.4

good location not far from railroad station. clean. no problems with languages. no problems at all. and Bergamo is fantastic.

9.2

The hotel may be a bit off centre for some tastes, but it is an ideal no-frills base for a city where you want to be out and about. Only minutes' walk from the lower city, the station and the bus for the airport. Two blocks away is the Taverna del Gallo da Filippo in Via San Bernardino. Friendly welcome, excellent food.

6.9

The staff was professional and helpful with a map and restaurant recommendation. Lobby computer for checking transportation schedules was helpful. Shared bathrooms are very clean, but there were only two for a large floor. Fine for travelers needing just one night.

7.5

Simple,clean and pretty cheap. Good location.

7.4

We were there 1 night. For this time we were very glad. Some shops and few restaurants about 10 min. by walk.

4.0

Quite noisy place. Near railway track. The walls between rooms very thin, you can hear every sound from your neighbors. But good location, close to Bergamo Orio al Serio airport.

6.9

We stayed in Bergamo for 2 nights in October. Getting from the airport couldn't have been easier, just buy a ticket in the airportand get on a bus for 5 Euros for 2 people. For the San Giorgio hotel, get off at the train station and folow the road signs for the hotel. The San Giorgio was well located, about 10 mins walk from the station, another 10 mins from new town centre (in the opposite direction), and about another 120 mins walk to the Funiculare that takes you up to the old town. The hotel was very clean but basic, don't expect luxury, you get what you pay for. Breakfast is not included, however there is a vending machine in reception for coffee and snacks, even croissants. All the staff speak very good English and were helpful. We had a room on the ground floor which was very spacious, the doublebed was 2 singles pushed together, so very roomy. The ensuite was a wet room, the bed is made every day and the towels are changed if you put them in the basket in the bathroom. I couldn't fault the cleanliness at all. the only criticism I would have is that if you hire a car there is not likely to be anywhere to park it at the hotel as the carpark only holds about 5 cars and was always full when we were there. Bergamo is a great town to visit but you can see it all in one day, if you are staying longer I would recommend visiting Milan or the lakes.

7.5

Nice hotel within resonable distance from local transportations and railway station. Well worth the price (book a room with bath). No breakfest, but rooms with bath have a refrigerator.

8.8

Stayed in a single room without bathroom. For the price it was excellent. Close to the station but a little bit further than I expected but very easy to find. Would recommend to anyone.

8.7

My flight didn't arrive in Bergamo until after midnight so I was delighted with the hotel's courteous welcome and a very comfortable single room. Although next to the railway line, I experienced no noise problems at all. Position is excellent for travelling around, and taxis from the airport can find the hotel easily. I was booked in for just one night but would be happy to stay here again. Especially recommended for anyone arriving late at night!

8.1

I was travellying with my husband and two teenage girls and arrived late at night(after midnight)and I was a bit nervous but everything went completly smoothly. Our room was perfectly adequate with a large bed and two singles. The room was clean. There was some traffic noise but it wasn't too bad perhaps because it was a Sunday. Checkout was efficient and the staff we dealt with spoke English and were very polite.

8.9

The room on 2. floor was perfectly quiet. Room nr. 1 was nice and good because of the missing elevator, but there was some noise from outside.

8.8

San Giorgio is a very useful and plain hotel in walking distance from the railwaystation and a short bussride or taxidrive (10 min) from Bergamo airport. Main attraction in Bergamo is the Citte Alta (old town on the hill), but unfortunately the atmosphere there is quite disturbed by the too many other foreign tourists, who like us probably were there due to cheap flights to Bergamo airport. The lower and more modern part of Bergamo is also nice, but I recommend taking the train like we did to one of the many other more interesting places in Italy. We went to Padova and only stayed the last night in Bergamo to be able to reach the flight home.

1.1

No meals available at San Giorgio. The rooms are neither of modern standard nor of traditional Italian style. The staff we met were arrogant and not very helpful. Cannot recommend Hotel San Giorgio at all! It is way overpriced and generally not nice. Room was straight onto busy street and railway line.

7.4

Hotel was OK, especially regarding cleanliness.

7.6

overall I thought the hotel was very good value. the guy that greeted us could do with taking the scowl off his face, although the other fellow that we had reason to speak to couldnt have been more helpfull and pleasant...all told though , very pleasant

5.8

We were surprised by the location; right on a very busy express-way with just a shutter and window to try and block the noise out. San Giorgio is in Bergamo, which is a walled city, but the hotel is quite a distance from the walled old town, too far to walk easily, and requires a change of transport part-way from bus to cable-car, challeniging unless you speak italiano! It's locality close to the railway suited us well to go back into Milan for a day trip was easy(and cheap). We haven't stayed inmany 2 stars hotels to compare with, but the quad room was cramped and dark, tho had nice art-work!

3.6

the passport was returned only in the morning of departure. But you must have your document allways with you in Italy !!!

7.7

We only stayed one night, but were treated with courtesy and efficiency. We had 2 single rooms which were NOT the traditonal broom cupboard size! We did not go en suite, for one night, but the rooms had adequate washing facilities and lovely clean towels. The beds were comfortable, too. The surroundings were a little bleak, but the hotel made up for that. We only refrain from recommending it to everyone because we did not see the facilities for couples or families.

9.3

Good value for money if you only will stay for one night

2.9

Habitaciones muy pequenias y ruidosas, se oye no solamente el ruido de la calle sino las pisadas de los otros huespedes en los pasillos, en las habitaciones de arriba, etc. La relacion costo/calidad es muy mala, a igual precio hay en Bergamo hoteles mucho mejores, bien ubicados, y con muy buen desayuno. NO REGRESARIA A SAN GIORGIO.

7.6

Very good for a quick stop over. For the last 6 years we have travelled to Bergamo en route to Bellagio. This year we decided to explore the old town. We were not disappointed - well worthwhile and the hotel was in a good position from the railway station.

8.2

We needed a hotel near the railway station (5 mins walk) and the San Giorgio fitted the bill. There were a couple of cafes 2 min walk away for breakfast with a restarant near the station with an excellent salad bar! Recommended for a short stay as the facilities are limited and the surroundings lacked charm.

7.2

Cerca de la estación de trenes pero algo alejado de la ciudad alta, que es lo realmente interesante para ver en Bergamo

9.5

The room and bathroom were both pleasant, spacious and clean, and the staff were very courteous and helpful. A nice bonus was being able to check our email free on the PC in the lobby. It is a pity that they cannot serve breakfast, but the hotel is to be commended for providing vending machines, reasonably priced. Overall very satisfactory.

7.1

El mayor problema es que no había aire acondicionado; pasamos mucho calor. Lo demás correcto, funcional y sin lujos. Muy ceca de la estación de tren.

4.7

Our room had a road + railroad just outside the window. As it was 35 degrees and no aircondition in the room we had the windows opened to get some air. We also got all the traffic-noise... In the morning they wanted cach pay although the room was prepaid by Visa-card.

8.9

good location near train station. very good staff.

5.2

basic - glad we were only here for one night

5.0

Filthy common bathroom and shabby rooms. Still good value for money for the city of Bergamo but I wouldn't stay there once more. The advantage: quite close to the railway station.

7.2

Our first time in Bergamo. We stayed in the hotel in a room with an ensuite bathroom for 3 nights and we found it good. The staff were very helpful, there was enough space in the room for our travel cot (3 month old baby). The hotel is a short walk from the rail and bus stations and about a half hour walk (or 15 min walk and 10 min bus) from Bergamo High Town. There are a few good restaurants nearby. The room and bathroom were clean and serviced daily, but the lighting a bit dingy. The hotel is very near the main railway lines to Bergamo so is a bit noisy, and with no AC and very thick walls, it was hot at night in the room at the end of June (too many mosquitos outside to leave the windows open). Overall, we would stay there again and recommend the hotel as a budget place to spend your nights.

3.9

The staff were not friendly at all, and the hotel was not 4 kilometers away from the airport as noted in their description. Finally, their desk opens at approximately 05h00, and they made quite a noise which we could hear in our room. The room, however, was good, clean and sufficient for our needs.

8.6

San Giorgio is perfect for a budget stay. Very clean, central and good value for money.

8.5

Very convenient for railway station & bus to Orio Airport. Hotel clean & well-presented, staff helpful & friendly. Immediate area a little 'dowdy' but no problems and you soon get into the lower town main street.

6.5

visited Bergamo on holiday. A very beautiful city, but the hotel San Giorgio left a little to be desired. No elevator and our rooms were on the 2nd floor (2 flights up!). The profile states "private bath" but it is a shared bathroom (2 on our floor for one person at a time). It left me disappointed....

7.2

Reasonable hotel for what you pay for. Very cheap vending machine! Good location in the town.

9.4

Everything was as expected--clean, accessible, and affordable. I would recommend to others.

5.6

very convenient location, could have done with breakfast or light meals facility. enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. would keep in mind for future travels to Bergamo..

5.0

ok rooms but overpriced.

5.1

The hotel hasn't got an elevator and it's a problem if you take luggage. The building, rooms and furniture are very old-fashioned.

3.5

Please modernise showerrooms/Toilets. At least provide a scraper to take away water from the floors

7.5

the only thing that was not so good was the wet floor in the general bathroom of san giorgio hotel....

3.7

It's very noisy (railway, airport, roads) The welcoming is very poor (it seems that we were disturbing the employees !) The photography showed on the web site is very "enlarged" .

8.1

It's a very good choice if you stay only 1 night there.Very close to the railway station where airport shuttle comes in and very easy to get there.During the night you shouldn't keep the window open unless you don't mind to sleep in a big noise.I travelled alone but booked a double room (without bathroom)- was absolutelly big enough and comfortable for 1 night!The man at the reception was a good guy:so kind, helpful and spoke good English.I wouldn't mind to choose this hotel again.

8.6

This hotel is listed as a two star hotel and lived up to expectations - the rooms are small but clean - there is no en suite bathroom so it may not be ideal for some couples. I stayed for two nights while I went to Formula 1 racing at nearby Monza. The hotel is conveniently located in terms of public transport. I found it to be good value for the money.

8.0

We used the San Giorgio as a stopover on the way to and on the way back from Tuscany. Price was our main priority. Flew to Al Serio, bus to Bergamo rail station, 10 minute walk to hotel. Suited us very well. In hot weather, with windows open, noise is a problem. Otherwise, clean, friendly, central location.

9.9

We had a wonderful stay at your hotel. THank you so much :)

7.3

We had a nice stay, the hotel was clean and the staff where friendly. Good location, close to citycenter. Good value.

7.6

Minus for breakfast not being served. Plus for the location, near the center of town and the railway station.

5.1

This was the absolute noisiest hotel we have ever stayed in. If you must stay at this hotel definitely request the top floor so you don't have to listen to people walking above you at all hours of the night and early morning.

6.0

San Giorgio Hotel is ideally placed for those who are passing through Bergamo as we were as it's a short walk from the bus and railway stations and where the Airport Bus drops off. Rooms are basic, a little dated but clean and comfortable. There are no hotel facilities to speak of beyond a couple of vending machines, but as we were there for just one night and it's only a short walk into the (new) city centre that wasn't a problem. The main thing to be aware of is that is located on a main route into the city and by the railway line and as a result is very noisy almost througout the night, especially if you are in one of the outer facing rooms as we were, so I'd recommend some quality earplugs.

8.3

rapport qualité prix trés correct, chambre comfortable et très propre. Je n'ai pas trop aimé l'alarme incendie déclenchée intempestivement pendant la nuit et surtout sans aucune excuse de la part du personnel...Le petit déjeuner manque quand même beaucoup.

8.4

Excellent location for railway and bus stations and the town centre. Would stay there again.

6.2

If you're just sleeping there.....I guess it's ok.

6.9

COMMUNAL BATHROOMS WERE SMALL AND A TYPE OF "WET ROOM" WHICH WERE RATHER MESSY AFTER SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD USED THEM. BUT CONVENIENT FOR THE STATION AND I WOULD USE IT AGAIN FOR A SHORT STAY.

6.4

Good basic accommodation for short stay. No breakfast facility.
