Did a one night stopover at Hotel Roma in Aosta en route home to UK from Italy. Arrived late in the day and decided to stay in the town to be near restaurants and the old main street. Hotel Roma is situated just outside one of the old gates to the town literally a couple of mins walk to the main street full of bars, restaurants and pretty little shops of all types. Walked in off the street and paid 66 euros for a double room and 6 euros for secure garage parking. Breakfast was extra.
Room was fine, clean, smelt slightly of smoke until we opened the windows, but the bathroom was new and spotlessly clean. Had a comfortable night after a great meal in Pizzeria Moderno (walk up the main street from the old gate near the Roma and it's a fair way up on the left hand side). Looked around many of the older more quaint restaurants which seemed quite quiet, but Pizzeria Moderno was buzzing and full of locals, with larger familes dining upstairs. The pizzas are baked in a real stone oven.
Breakfast the next morning was very quiet but fine - usual buffet . Staff were very helpful and very obliging. Overall, I think it was pleasant enough and good value for money as long as you don't mind being in by midnight as the hotel is locked then and you foresake the mountain views from the hotels out of town for the convenience of being near to the lovely old centre of Aosta - a delightful place. Also, the Roman ruins were very interesting - apparently Aosta is known as the 'Rome of the North'. A good stopover!
