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.
Great little Hotel, fantastic location, only metres from restaurants, wine bars, town square Hotel staff were the best, always smiling and happy to help
The hotel is quite old and in need of some updating, the lift in particular is tiny but we managed. The room itself was very old and could do with a major refit, as could the bathroom. Having said that for our needs of a single night stop for a European driving holiday it was adequate enough. The only real negative was the breakfast room was unstaffed and there was a limited help-yourself selection which given the extra we paid for breakfast was not really worth it. In hindsight, I wished I'd not paid for breakfast and simply used a local cafe. Parking a vehicle is €5 per night. The reason we chose this city was that in order to get a trip to Venice on our tour, Vicenza is 45 minutes by train from Venice, the station in Vicenza is a 10 minute walk from the hotel.
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!
Luxurious rooms (not big though) super clean and with the most dedicated, helpful staff you can imagine. Interior design is very creative, the bed huge and comfortable. The location of the hotel is perfectly placed a few minutes walk from the center of Vicenza’s old, picturesque city. Definitely value for money. We would stay there again for sure, next time we are in Vicenza.
We stayed here as a small group for two nights in this hotel. It was very clean, very nice, breakfast was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Showers were the size of a small phone booth. Beds were comfortable, and it was a pleasant stay. Everything we needed for a quiet evening and a good sleep. Would stay here again. Reasonable distance from Venice.
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.

Breakfast standard good room but not very friendly staff (in particular at the restaurant) and for breakfast you have to make your own milk at the machine because they don't do IT. Located far away from the center and not so many restaurants because it is all most outside Vicenza.
