No tourist information at station. I
managed to look for this hotel by walk. No step. Large elevator. New
hotel. But shower nozzle was high. Next restaurant was so good. We
should eat Pasta Bolognese and Palma ham.

Brescia is not a tourist city. Not many
hotel. Economy hotel was full. So I asked this middle high class
hotel. But they did not accept me to stay. I guess I was so dirty
and use a wheelchair. I killed one hour to go around the city and
went back this hotel again. I said in Italian " Please stay at
this hotel, otherwise I sleep outside." They accepted. I did
not why they refuse me. They had an elevator and nice equipment.
Sometimes it was difficult to get an accommodation wheelchair alone.
It is a discrimination.

If you rent a car at Malpensa airport, I recommend this hotel. They
did not like me to stay at this hotel because of wheelchair
alone. Room was no problem. The price was little high.

If you watch soccer game, it is worth to stay. If you go sightseeing

Difficult to find. In a mountain. The

wheelchair. I sat down on the floor of elevator. My friend brought a
wheelchair after. Busy youth hostel. You had better book it.

We found the hotel during driving.
May be they have a wheelchair accessible room, but we wanted triple
room. Small room and tiny shower room. No steps in public area. Free
shuttle bus to/from airport. It seems more cheep, if you book
advance.

One accessible room on ground floor, but a big step at entrance. This
was the first time to see an accessible room in Italy. Roma is
historical city. Buildings are very old. If elevator, it is small and
has a door inside. It is very difficult to find a hotel in Roma.

If you watch soccer game, you should stay here. If you go sightseeing
Roma, it is not good because of so far from downtown. 8 steps at
entrance, but a lift there. When I stayed, the lift was broken. I was
carried up by surrounding people. Staff were so kind. Restaurant was
great. Comfortable ! Also accessible toilet and shower.

Tourist information did not help me to find a hotel. I walked around

I got some discount, but still high. Some steps at entrance.

I attend the international tourism event
in Vicenza. 2.5 km away from railway station. It is far. Hotels for
tourists with car or group tourists (hotel located between Venezia and
Milano). Large lift. Public wheelchair toilet. We stayed triple room
#104. It seemed a wheelchair accessible room. Breakfast croissant was
excellent.
