“Warm welcome in an ancient walled city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2004

Bergamo is beautiful and our stay at the Hotel Commercio was one we will definitely repeat. The hotel entrance is a plain unassuming set of modern doors off a shopping street. They hide a secret! The doors open out into a charming seventeenth century building, part of a cloistered monastery, some of which is crumbling beautifully within sight of the upper hotel windows. You are greeted by your host family who speak some english and are keen to make you feel at home and welcome in their city. Breakfast was a simple yet wholesome and filling "continental" style. Our room was basic, clean and excellent value. Plenty of clean fluffy towels and a lovely hot shower. The price was very good but we received a welcome and facilities worthy of a much higher price. This is not a five star business hotel but if you want to experience an incredible second century walled city and feel that you are the personal guests of a local family then look no further. I would highly recommend this hotel as a base for a family holiday. We had intended to travel to Milan during our stay but there is so much history within Bergamo that we did not leave!

“It's different....!”

The Commercio appears to be stuck in a bit of a 1950s time warp.

I guess it must have started life as a business hotel maybe in the inter-war years.

The owners must be thanking their lucky stars that the Orio al Serio Airport is booming and there is a shortage of budget-priced accommodation in Bergamo.

Elsewhere on the web I have seen The Commercio described as "shabby".

That's a bit cruel... but probably fair! Our room was clean, but cramped and old-fashioned.

The breakfast was entertaining though, served in a dining room that is redolent of the 1950s, by staff who probably started work in the 1950s!

On the plus side the hotel is quiet and there is no traffic noise.

There is a car park at the Commercio but the hotel itself can be difficult to find by road, tucked away on the edge of the commercial centre of the Citta Bassá.

Oh.. and don't think about using the lift if you are claustraphobic... I've been in bigger wardrobes!

In all the hotel is alright for one night... doubt if it would be good for much more than that.

But don't let any of this put you off Bergamo itself since it is a wonderful place.

If you are flying into Orio al Serio - and you have the time - do not miss out on a visit to Bergamo.

Off the beaten track, it is a wonderful place to explore.

The medieval Cittá Alta is excellent and in its own, unspoiled, way better than most tourist traps.

Do not miss the Duomo. The interior - especially the cieling - is stunning!
