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.
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.
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!
Stayed here during an interrailing trip around Italy with 2adults and 2 children. This hotel was an absolute bargain - just E92 for a family room for four. Immaculately clean, staff very helpful, good location and lots of nice little bars and restaurants within five minute walk. Vicenza very pretty and we had a wonderful time. This hotel is one I would definitely recommend.
Great little Hotel, fantastic location, only metres from restaurants, wine bars, town square Hotel staff were the best, always smiling and happy to help
If you are on a two day drive through Europe with 40c heat around you -what do you need for an overnight ? - A clean and ready place to sleep, without worrying about your car - Staff who does not complicate things Both you will find at this lovely hotel. It's a typical roadside hotel on the outskirts of the mid-size Italian business and tourism cities. This hotel is easy to find, spacious, rather new and very nice to stay. Room was bright, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, large bathroom, good a/c and plenty of space to unpack. I had a great sleep and ready to face another 1000km. Contributed to that did Tiziano at reception -he was there to check me in in the evening and to check me out in the late morning too. Even though I told him I am just quickly overnighting, he gave me a really nice room (I assume then all rooms are good really). And did not complicate things -”we sort out payment and all things tomorrow morning, get some rest now” Breakfast was superb and plentiful, all you can wish for, regional specialities and all the global stuff. The best thing is that you are welcomed and taken care of a real Italian ”nonna” (grandmother style lady): ”Sit down, I'll make some bacon and eggs for you, you have to eat well when driving so long !”. It was lovely, welcoming and delicious. Before I could even enjoy everything, I was back on the autostrada, well rested and fed. My car was safe all night, parking site is part of the hotel. As usual, staff made the difference, thank you to Tiziano and the ”nonna” :) but also the rooms and all is very nice. I found the price via a booking site very appropriate and would recommend it highly.
