Hotel Garibaldi

second time stayed. Will always stay here from now on whenever I'm in Vercelli. The bonus is the restaurant at the front of the hotel which is very highly rated. The owner of the hotel was, as usual, very friendly and helpful. Ask about the pizzeria just down the road (100mtr a sinistra)

Wonderful property. Great people. Tremendous host. Restaurant is unbelievable.

Nothing.

Every corner of the hotel had some story to tell. The Bislakko restaurant was just amazing with its dishes and chocolates.

We stayed here mainly for the onsite restaurant - Bislakko. Specializing in ultra-local ingredients from the surrounding arborio rice country, and Piemonte generally. Dishes also local specialties, such as panissa - arborio rice, borlotti beans, red wine, spices - hearty, tasty peasant version of risottto. Excellent cuisine, good and friendly service, modernistic room with projected videos on the walls with clips from famous old movies, history, etc. Rooms here are modern, comfortable, reasonably roomy. Quiet, because set well back from the street behind an interior courtyard between the restaurant (street side) and the hotel. Good bathroom, very clean, plenty of hot water (shower no tub). Excellent breakfast & cappuccino. Onsite secured parking in an underground garage. Garage not difficult to maneuver in (as sometimes happens with smaller hotels). Management is helpful & friendly.

The location is easy to access, but not walking distance to anything interesting - on the outskirts of the town. This didn't bother me, since I stayed here for the restaurant, and the easy access to the surrounding rice country which was in the midst of the harvest (entirely mechanized Midwest style). Room air conditioning never worked well for me, and it was unseasonably warm for early October. The unit in my son's room did work well, so it seems it may have been a faulty control on our room's unit only. I asked for staff assistance, and received it cheerfully, but the unit still wouldn't set the temp I wanted.
