Best Western Hotel Cristallo

It was really a great stay, loved the room and was impressed that the pictures were accurate to what was advertised online although the room felt bigger in person which was a nice bonus. For sure will recommend it and stay there again. Helpful/nice staff and a nice café. The construction was not noticed. But the only negative was there were no curtains in the bathroom. I was told by the staff that the windows were one way windows but when I was outside I could in fact see in a little... even during the day... so regardless if the windows are one way or not, because the windows in the bathroom are so large, some kind of window covering would have been greatly appreciated. Especially since the weekend I was there the cost was double of what it seemingly normally is but I only got half of the privacy. It was necessary to stuff towels in the cracks of the windows to get a small sense of privacy. Would have rated five stars but the feeling of being so open to the world during a shower or using the other parts of that room was extremely unsettling. Oh and by the way, the Internet was quite fast and it was nice to be able to use YouTube on the television instead of the local cable networks or international news networks. less

This hotel is nice place to stay. It is regular hotel without any special details. Breakfast was ordinary European style breakfast. Rooma are very clean and basci hotel room. Hotel location is not best place in town. less

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

Clean comfortable hotel , reasonable priced, good breakfast was only €4 The drinks in the bar were reasonably priced. Good location for train travels. About a hour train journey into Venice €7 takes about a hour 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
