Excellent location
I chose the Excelsior for its proximity to the train station, as I was arriving and leaving by train and also did an excursion by train to the Certosa nearby (which I highly recommend). It also was close enough to all of the other sights to be walkable. The room was spotlessly clean. Also, the city map provided by the hotel was excellent! Tourist maps often do not label all streets, or use printing so small that they are not user-friendly, but this one was great.

The hotel was walking distance from train station, though from our rooms we could hear the trains arriving and leaving the station. The staff were nice and helpful and their dining suggestions were really good. It was also a walking distance from shopping areas and restaurtants.

Hotel Excelsior-Great Central Location
Front reception staff was very helpful and kind. Great location from the Train station, just a few steps away. Central location to restaurants and stores and about 15 minutes from town square. Coffee and cold breakfast 8 euros.

A decent hotel close to city centre
In Pavia there is just a few of hotels. Therefore you must get satisfied by what you can get. Nevertheless, the comfort and the services are at a top level. Breakfast is worthy of a 4* hotels. After all it worths a stay.

a friendly smile!
location is very handy to the train station. Also close to the main shopping areas. within two blocks, there are numerous cute cafes and bakeries. The hotel is a little bit older, but well-maintained. We found all of the staff to be extra friendly and efficient!

Train station access makes it easy.
Location is a 10-15 min walk from most of the sights you’ll want to see.
The staff was excellent The room was cozy and the bathroom was enough to do want you need. It’s across the street from the train station, so that makes it easy to arrive and to exit.

No frills hotel
Although convenient for the train station, it was farther from town than I realized. The beds were very uncomfortable, so I did not sleep well. Also, the shower had very little water pressure. The 5€ breakfast was what you’d expect for the price.

It is a 3* hotel (when I booked through expedia, it is supposed to be 4*). The room is very small and too hot even at night.

False advertisement
On the ad it says that kids stay free without confirming the age. My daughter is 4 and when we reached there, first the receptionist asked me my daughters age and then said up to the age of 3 is free and charged me €20 more. There was no safe parking available so I had to park in a paid lot and then walk. It wasn’t a pleasant experience checking in at 11:30 at night.

We pay for two rooms in one of them the AC unit never work and according to the only person was there at the front desk, there wasn't possible to turn the AC on because the te city regulations . We ended it opening the window, and because the weather we ended sick.
Old building and pretbad maintenance. Never again.
