Absolutely loved our stay here. It's a former palace and the room was huge with a wonderful patio. They had a excellent breakfast, the staff was awesome (shout out to Martina and Paolo). Would stay again in a second. The city is very walkable and Martina and Paolo were incredibly helpful with restaurants and sights. We did not want to leave.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is presented as a palace hotel experience, but in reality it is neither a palace nor a true hotel. The listing is highly misleading, and the photos shown do not accurately represent the actual property or guest experience. The entrance is through a residential apartment-style building with trash bins at the entry, and the elevator accommodates only one person at a time, creating an uncomfortable first impression and an inconvenient stay. At a rate of $360 per night, this experience falls far below reasonable expectations. Visitors come to Italy expecting authenticity, hospitality, and professionalism. Misleading accommodations like this damage trust and create a disappointing impression for tourists.
Entrance to Palace want to be

Beautiful facility, excellent and very available staff with personalized touch. It's one of the most expensive hotels in Pavia but hey it's in a palazzo with a massive courtyard covered by a dome and has deep soaking tubs and daily housekeeping. Also a great location and wonderful breakfast. Get the aperitivo on the balcony one evening before you go out to dinner!

L'interno è bello e curato, con gusto ed eleganza. Il personale educato e gentile. In generale un luogo dove è piacevole soggiornare....il costo del servizio parcheggio e ingresso in Ztl (41€ per un giorno) forse un po' eccessivo...diciamo che gli 11 euro per la Ztl potrebbero evitare di addebitarli al cliente. Peccato l'ingresso nella strada laterale con un portone da palazzina popolare. Il neo principale è la città...Pavia un luogo storico con vestigia di un passato glorioso....ridotta ad una latrina per cani (colpa dei padroni) senza un fiore, sporca con palazzi storici in abbandono e muri lordati da scritte.... Che gran peccato!!!

Pavia, costa caro dormire all'antica

L'entrata dell'hotel e' molto atipica. In pratica si tratta di un vecchio portone condominiale dove si deve suonare un campanello condominiale con in piccolo la scritta Hotel... Entrati dal portone si sale al secondo piano utilizzando o un minuscolo ascensore oppure le scale. Deludente come entrata. La reception dell'hotel e' invece decorosa e sia la lobby che la camera molto accoglienti. Sembra piu' un B&B che un hotel. Non regna il comfort nelle camere, non ho trovato alcuna presa elettrica vicino al letto o al tavolo per potere ricaricare il telefonino che, mi serve anche da sveglia, e quindi non posso ricaricarlo nel bagno ! non ci sono le pantofoline usa e getta, non c'e' l'asciuga capelli, non ci sono le grucce con le mollette per appendere i pantaloni dritti, si sentono gli schiamazzi e le urla degli studenti in strada fino a tarda notte inoltrata, non ci sono alle finestre le doppie tende oscuranti....La conclusione e' che il prezzo richiesto e' sporopositato in rapporto al servizio offerto. Il parcheggio mi e' costato 20 euro per la notte. Trascorro piu' di 150 notti/anno in alberghi in giro per il mondo, ho quindi una certa esperienza nel valutare alberghi che chiedono oltre 160 euro a notte.

Breakfast room and terrasse was not available on day 2 and the floor was taken over by a crew working on a TV program. We were also woken up by the noise they made. The managers knew and did not inform us before our trip nor offered a discount on our second night for the inconvenience caused. Unacceptable considering the price we paid for the room.
