Best Western Hotel Cristallo

I had an excellent stay here while I was traveling through Northern Italy for a couple of weeks. The Room: The room I stayed in had just been renovated and it was completely modern and no detail was left out. The usb chargers in the outlets are such a nice touch especially since my phone charger doesn't fit the Italian outlets. The beds were so comfortable, which is great when you need to adjust to the time difference. The Hotel: I absolutely loved the hotel. The food at the restaurant was excellent and they have great options for breakfast too. I made sure to have a cappuccino every morning as the coffee is some of the best I've had. The chocolate and cream croissants were great too! The staff was so kind and helpful explaining the different items on the menu I was unfamiliar with. They also gave me great tips on where to travel to in the area. The Location: The location of this hotel is perfect. It was about a 2 minute walk to the train station which allowed me to travel quickly to my destinations. Venice, Verona and Padua are all within about 30-40 minutes so you can easily have day trips planned to any of these cities without having to stay in a different hotel in each city. I would highly recommend staying here if you are travelling through northern Italy. I know I will be back soon! less

We stayed at Cristallo Best Western Rovigo 3 years ago and decided to come back this year to Rovigo as a base to explore the Veneto region more fully. The Hotel is really well placed, the train & bus stations are just a few minutes’ walk away. We took the train as a day trip to Padua, the next day to Venice & then the next day to Ferrara – the trains are fast & economical. We then hired a car and went to the Medieval villages of Este, Montagnana, Monselice & Arqua Petrarca - there was easy parking in each of the villages and each of the villages had their own unique charm - absolutely worth a visit to each one! We loved coming home to the same room, we could return each day without the drama of checking in to a new town each day. The food at the Hotel restaurant is superb. The restaurant staff were attentive, the menu was diverse and the food was fresh and beautifully presented. The risotto was cooked to perfection, in fact every meal I had was very good! My husband and I have a business in Australia. We are lucky to be able to travel frequently, but we need great internet connection whilst away to keep the business ticking over. The Hotel has amazing wifi speed & connection, plus they have a work station & printer set up for guests’ complimentary use, this is a great bonus for travelling business people. The bed was huge and really comfortable, the room had lots of extra features that we loved that made our stay more enjoyable. Most of all everything was in good working order, the Hotel appears to have a great quality control system, as business people we notice good management that’s for sure! At night we’d go downstairs to the Guest Lounge areas and have Italian Aperitif, the complimentary finger food was lovely. There was always a staff member available who spoke English to answer any questions. I highly recommend this Hotel, we’ve stayed in probably around 100 Italian Hotels, I don’t take recommending a Hotel lightly.... Happy travelling, David & Karen - Brisbane, Australia less

I will always remember breakfasts with great coffee, tasty cakes and super warm lady that was always helpful and nice. Hotel is relly good choice if you are on road trip. We are not the only ones that think like that bcs every evening there was new coach with tourists ;) Really good location - shop and train station is really close. Room was big, bright and comfortable. Bathroom clean, with everything you need. Wide range of tv channels. Free wi-fi. Really glad that we choose this place (family 2+2). I also liked staircase with chinese paintings on the wall. less

Based on a total of 90 days spent at the Cristallo Hotel in Rovigo, Italy, I can confidently say that the hotel is fantastic and beyond expectations. I highly recommend the hotel for anyone staying in Rovigo or cities close-by. Here are my observations: - The Hotel environment is very nice - If you're a petrolhead, you'll love the walls as they have automotive sports written all over them. - The service is fantastic, everyone is very friendly and helpful. - The hotel is very clean, rooms are cleaned well on a daily basis. - The internet is superb, it is fantastic for streaming and making VoIP calls like Skype and Viber. - The bed, bed sheets and pillows are very comfortable and well chosen. - The air conditioning works well even in the summer period in July and August - experienced this myself. - Make sure you choose street view double rooms, they're the best. - Parking is available for free at the hotel entrance. - The hotel restaurant food and service are good maybe slightly pricy. less
