Novotel Brescia 2
Wonderful stay. Clean, comfortable room, nice bedding, wonderful staff. The only thing I would have is a proper fridge in the room. There is one but it is set up for the mini bar. The air conditioning was not working while I was there in April. It was rather hot in my room but I could open the window. ...

Centro Paolo VI
Lovely hotel and room with balcony. In a quiet part of town. About a 15 minute walk to a local supermarket. The room would benefit from a kettle to be ale to make a drink, but there are some vending machines on the ground floor for snacks and drinks - cash only.
