Al Viale Papa Giovanni

When we came down from Bergamo Alto we wanted a lite bite, Found this place on the main road, it was just right for what we wanted the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed everything that was served including a good British brew

Nothing advertised was true: 1) Impossible to pay in American Express whereas I booked that B&B for that reason mainly. The Landlord is not equipped at all. He fakes a call to one of his friend/colleague, and thn says the machine is broken. I had to pay in cash when I had a stric amount of cash for the duration of my stay. I had to withdraw again later, which costed me extra bank fees. 2) Impossible to Check In: we had to call a local mobile phone number which ended up costing me a lot from my cell phone, and wait an extra 30min in front of the B&B for the guy to come. 3) False Address: the guy actually took us at an another distant location by car, much further than the one advertised. 4) Horrible night of sleep: we got awaken at 3.30am by some late party people who were drinking in front of the pubs, yelling and laughing out loud until 6am, showing zero respect for the neighborhood. 5) Horrible smell of fresh paint in the room who gave both of us headaches and feeling like throwing up. We had to open the window and deal with the busy roads making a lot of noises, along with the cold outside -no need to say that the room was not warmed at all. We were freezing. 6) Breakfast was disgusting: made of low quality, discount brands articles, and a very poor choice. No microwave. SUM UP: DO NOT BOOK UNLESS YOU FEEL LIKE WASTING TIME, MONEY & ENERGY.

We were very disappointed with the standard of this B & B. The location is very convenient for the bus and train station and the sheets and bathrooms were clean but other than that it doesn't have much to recommend it. It's an old fashioned appartment which is untidy and needs money spending on it. The overall impression was shabby with peeling paint and stained tablecloths. There was plenty of choice for the DIY breakfast, but nothing that I actually wanted to eat. It doesn't represent good value for money so my advice would be to look elsewhere!
