HB Aosta Hotel — Hotel in Aosta

Good news is that the breakfast food quality was extremely high, like they have a fancy restaurant preparing it. Bad news is that the high food expense causes them to cut corners everywhere else. 26C is too warm to sleep. Staff was not allowed to turn on the air conditioning, to save money. Room safe door spring was broken, but I used a knife to open it. The mini-fridge honestly heated up whatever was inside, making the famous local meats and cheeses less attractive to purchase. Location at the edge of the pedestrian area could be OK, but you walk a lot, and I am neutral about that. There is no kind way to say that this hotel lies about parking availability. The number one business in Aosta is not tourists, it is parking tickets, with the most aggressive beat coops that I have seen anywhere in 33 countries visited. Locals who live there full time obviously suffer more than tourists. The huge free public oparking lot advertised by this hotel is never only 100% full, as all of the workers in the downtown area leave the cars in planter areas, double parked, and no reasonable tourist can compete for those free parking spaces. Hours observed on the streets are not an exact science, as only a few feet away from a sign has different rules, and so many people receive parking tickets. They cost about 30 euros each, I can tell you from personal experience. The private hotel parking is enough for half of the guest cars, and by 3PM, it was always full. This was one of the two most disappointing hotels in 7 weeks of European travel in four countries. Try...

I stayed four nights at HB Hotel Aosta in July 2023. |The hotel has a great location, close to the pedestrian zone (with various shops and restaurants) but in a quiet little street. It is about 10 minutes walk from the railway and bus stations. Aosta is not a large town, so everything can be easily discovered on foot. |I had a single room on the 5th floor. I liked it very much. The room was really nice (exactly as in the pictures here), it had a beautiful view of the mountains. There is a safe and a fridge in the room. It would be nice to also have a coffee machine, though coffee can be ordered at the reception. |Breakfast is served on the ground floor and again, I really liked it, there is a great choice for everyone. Wifi worked well throughout my stay. The staff at the reception were all very nice and helpful. |The hotel also has a spa section but unfortunately, I did not have time to go there. Next time, as there will certainly be a next time in Aosta and in HB...

The location of the hotel is at one end of the city center and made it easy to walk anywhere in the city center, approximately 13 minute walk end to end on a cobble stone street. The daily provided breakfast was very good and offered a large varity.||The room had the shower and bathtub in the living room area which we found very strange and lacking in privacy, not to mention it was hard to warm the area for when you walk out of the shower. The glass surround made it impossible for us to stop the water from splashing all in the living area making the floor slippery.||The light over the sink was out, I asked multiple times for it to be replaced as I needed light to put my makeup on, it never was never replaced. Additionaly asked 2 seperate front desk workers for an iron or steamer for my wrinkled clothes and was told they do not have one available. I have never stayed anywhere from the most basic of hotels that did not have...
