The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are very polite and extremely helpful. The rooms are nicely decorated very big with extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The linen was brand new. The breakfast was rich with delicious variety of cakes and dolci apart from the rest. The coffee is perfect. The internet connection was very fast and the parking easy with lots of parking lots. There is someone always available for advice, so our holidays were enriched with local tips. It is very close to supermarkets and the metro is nearby. The best gelato of the city is just across the hotel. We had at least one after every excursion. Brescia is a wonderful city and the hotel is a good base if you want to discover Brescia and the lakes. All in all, hotel Ambasciatori is highly recommended.

“A nice hotel for a family sleepover in Brescia. Parking at the hotel and nice breakfast.”

We were on a family roadtrip and needed to stay near Brescia, where four of us could sleep in a room, leave our car and start the next day with a nice breakfast.

We were on a family roadtrip and needed to stay near Brescia, where four of us could sleep in a room, leave our car and start the next day with a nice breakfast. All of these we found in the Ambasciatori hotel, where the staff was very accommodating, great selection of foods and drinks at breakfast and though the hotel shows its years, it is well maintained and clean. Our room was next to the elevator, so for light sleepers try to get another room, I could hear the elevator sound throughout the evening/night, but was luckily too tired to really bother me ;). I would consider this hotel again if I would need to stay in Brescia.

“Faded Four”

There are some positives for this hotel, and definitely negatives. Frankly, we probably would not stay here again. The ground floor public rooms are fairly elegant, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. While they are distant from "downtown", and this is not a city you will want to drive in, they are only 300 meters from a metro station. A taxi ride downtown (or back) is only 7 0r 8 euros. Eden, a fine restaurant, is a 7 or 8 minute walk and the neighborhood isn't bad. We have had dreadful breakfasts at 4 star "chain hotels" in Modena and Parma. Theirs was marginally better. The coffee was drinkable, the yogurt acceptable; the "orange juice" supermarket generic, and the pastries and bread ok but nothing special. The real problems are above and below. While considerable effort has been made to put everything in our bedroom we might need, you needed a shoe horn to use them. The rooms are old ship stateroom small, and retrofitted as best they could, annoyingly claustrophobic. Had considerable problems with the wifi. It wouldn't accept VPN unless I brought my laptop to the ground floor. The two elevators worked fine, but as you might expect, were very small. The hotel offers "free parking=stunted spaces in front of the main entrance, suitable for a Fiat 500 and not much more, or in the garage. The garage is more like a dirty dungeon, two layers with stanchions making it a Rubik's cube problem to get into a still small space. There is no elevator, so be prepared for a very steep walk up the ramps. With some luck, the lights might stay on..for awhile. The garage is grease stained and doesn't look like it has been cleaned in a long time. We liked Brescia. At this price point and the "4 star rating" we expected more. If we return, we will look for another venue.
