From the moment we arrived, we knew this was going to be special. The reception was in the restaurant which owned the room a few doors away. It was a beautiful foyer, with lovely helpful staff. The room was in a town house that had stood for several hundred years, yet the room had been total renovated and overlooked the main old town street below. The rest of the townhouse appeared to be occupied by local residents. The view from the door to the apartment was spectacular. There are two or three rooms with a shared communal area, should you want to sit outside your bedroom. The accommodation is provided by the same owner who has three restaurants in very close proximity (all provide a 10% discount for dinner - we ate at DaMimmo which was superb). Fantastic location, brilliant room, and I have not even mentioned the outstanding breakfast.

Two flights of steps will not suit all The town bells toll, one hundred times, at 10pm and 7.30am…. There is no escaping then in the town. However the room, breakfast and overall impression was amazing.

The breakfast location was in the busy little Mimi Bistrot, located virtually next door to the Locanda. Loads of atmosphere, with locals and visitors popping in for morning coffee and breakfast. The staff were all great, and the included breakfast includes yogurt, meats, cheeses, breads & croissants, together with juices and coffees. Our room was up about 40 steps but was definitely worth the climb, with an enormous comfortable bed, a fabulous bathroom and shower, and a great coffee machine. Cleaned each day by wonderful staff who were always willing to help. Thank you.

The only slight criticism was that the included breakfast was the same each day, although you could always order and pay for something from their bistro breakfast menu for a change…it all looked delicious!

The location, the room was spotless, excellent coffee making facilities., comfortable beds, great shower, lovely bed linen & towels, lovely view. fantastic breakfast.

everything was great.

I was here with my wife for about a week in June. The apartment (called Lotto) is super clean and tastefully designed, with modern appliances and a modern bathroom. It is in a building adjacent to the one that has the reception in it and one of Mimmo's three eateries, which range from a cafe to a white-tablecloth restaurant, and the food is amazing in all of these. (Also you get a 10% discount if you're a Locanda guest. All the staff without exception are very friendly and courteous and will help you with anything you need. This is true also of the owner himself. The Locanda and restaurants is the fruit of a hard-working family's labor - you can get a booklet about the family history. The windows have the typical Italian shutters, so almost no light gets in the morning, in case you want to sleep in. It should be added that Bergamo itself is a magnificent surprise, one of our favourites in all of Italy.

My only real concern is that people will read this and more will book the Locanda, so it may be harder for us to come back! The Locanda is on a narrow street that connects two squares in the historic Upper City. That is great, because it means that all the sites are within easy or relatively easy walking distance. Unfortunately, while we were there workers were replacing the cobblestones, and this was quite noisy. They finished our stretch while we were there, though, so this should not be of concern to future visitors. Even with the noise, the windows shut out most of it, I think they're triple-pane.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. They carried our luggage up the 3 flights of stairs. The communal area was very nice and it had a good coffee machine. The also gave us a little milk so we could have a coffee / tea in our room. The double showers was very nice and powerful. The beds were comfy and the breakfast was nice. It was however a typical Italian breakfast with cold meats/ cheese, bread, croissants and a small amount of Müsli. Fresh juice and water as well as cappuccino and Americano or tea were also on offer. The staff could not have been more helpful! Well done to the whole team!

Staff were exceptionally helpful and really did go that little extra when required. Food in hotel is really good and fairly priced. Breakfast was enjoyable every morning and again staff were very pleasant. The location is excellent . Surrounded by beautiful restaurants and some quirky shops and some splendid views in the area. You will bespoiled for choice of really good restaurants.

Absolutely nothing to complain of. Just a word of caution though......the area is quite hilly so be prepared for some steep walks.....but theviews are very rewarding.

Immaculately clean, air conditioned rooms right in the centre of the old town. There are several restaurants connected to the Locanda, good value and offering an extra 10% discount. The parking arrangements are within 700 metres. The staff are very helpful and friendly, making for a very comfortable and relaxing stay

The rooms are located in a separate building and the shared staircase is a little dark at night. Our rooms were on a dark staircase with no hand rails. Perhaps not perfect for older guests?

What a stunning apartment in a beautiful location. So much character and had everything we needed, the only downside was we need longer to experience the wonderful Bergamo, which we fell in love with. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The apartment had amazing features and we had everything we needed for wonderful stay. The views from the window was breathtaking and the location was perfect in the amazing old town.

The only challenge was parking as you can't park in the old town but there is a car park you can take a lift up from and it's a 7 minute walk, but proved expensive.

Everything! All the staff are helpful and welcoming. The apartment was well equipped and the bed incredibly comfortable. Air con was very welcome after a day walking about in the heat. It's an old building beautifully adapted to retain it's heart. Mimmo have a couple of restaurants as well as the apartments, all next to each other, and breakfast is in the Bistro which is literally next to the apartment entrance and was fab. On day 2 and 3 I had early starts so they prepared a breakfast bag for me to collect from reception the night before. Coffee machine in the room provided the necessary caffeine ! Very generous with cheeses, fruit, bread etc. Fabulous. It's in a perfect location. 3 mins stroll from the bus stop for the number 1 which is the main bus that goes between the airport, train station and Città bassa up to Città Alta. Everything in Città Alta is within easy reach. I'd be back here in a flash! By the way, in the room there was a little booklet about the Mimmo family and it's history with food and hospitality. A lovely read and nice to know the history.

Atmospheric surroundings in the heart of old town Bergamo. Thoughtfully decorated and comfortable beds, modern and clean bathroom. We didn’t use the kitchen facilities but they would have been great if we’d stayed longer. The breakfast was delicious in a lovely courtyard next to the hotel. We also enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant on arrival. All in all an excellent option for a night or two (or longer) in Bergamo.

We didn’t understand the plugs and electric supply and therefore didn’t manage to get the coffee machine working! Not a big issue but perhaps instructions for which switches need to be on would be helpful.
