Where B&B Trento Nord is and how to get there
B&B Trento Nord is on Via Bassa, in the north of Trento, a district outside the centre but, as more than one guest says, well connected. The property description talks about a location a few minutes from the A22 motorway and well linked to the centre by public transport.
The reviews confirm this: it is very easy to reach from the motorway, the area is described as quiet, and there are plenty of shopping centres nearby. For drivers that is a real advantage, because there is a private, free car park, which several guests find spacious and convenient.
A detail for anyone with an electric car, one review mentions charging points. I would still check with the owner when you book.
What the rooms are like and what the property has
The rooms are simple and, for those who have stayed in them, clean. According to the description there is free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, and some rooms are said to have a view of the mountains. Several guests mention spacious rooms with a small table for breakfast, and one review recalls that they had been renovated recently.
It is a no-frills bed and breakfast. One guest appreciates the automatic check-in and the independence, another the ground-floor rooms. Breakfast is self-service: several comments describe it as basic, with what you need to make it yourself. One review also mentions an arrangement with the pizzeria nearby for dinner.
One point many people look for and few find: pets are allowed with no extra charge, according to one review.
What guests say
On Google, B&B Trento Nord has a rating of 3.7 from 78 reviews. That is lower than usual, and reading them explains why: most comments are very positive, but the few negative ones are harsh. Among the positive ones, three themes come up often.
- The owner. Many describe them as friendly, helpful and attentive, even to people arriving from far away.
- The cleanliness. Rooms and bathrooms are described as clean, with a good supply of towels.
- Value for money. For those who care about the essentials, meaning quiet, independence and parking, the price is fair.
It is also worth noting that many guests are travelling for work, which gives an idea of the kind of stay this is: practical, without frills.
What to know before booking
To be honest, the negative reviews should not be ignored. This is what they say and how I read them.
| What some guests say | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Photos that do not match, cobwebs and insects in a room | Ask for recent photos and also read the newest comments |
| Pre-packaged breakfast, not well stocked | If breakfast matters to you, ask what is actually on offer |
| Shared bathroom reached through the breakfast area | Check that your room has a private bathroom |
| Shared fridge and a tiny garden | Do not leave anything valuable in the fridge |
| An area considered poorly frequented in the evening | If you arrive late, think it over carefully |
Opinions are very divided: on one side many guests are happy, on the other someone describes a truly bad experience, even in an apartment separate from the B&B. I would book it knowing what to expect and, if in doubt, write to the owner first to clarify the room and the bathroom.
Who it suits and who it does not
I would choose it for a work trip or a practical stop: you arrive by car, park without paying, sleep in a simple room and set off again. It is also good news for anyone travelling with a pet.
I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a refined holiday in the centre, a generous breakfast or hotel services. If you want to enjoy the historic centre in the evening, it is not the most convenient choice, because the property is outside the centre.
What to do in Trento and around
Trento is a great gateway to Trentino, and more than one guest at B&B Trento Nord uses it precisely as a stop on the way to the mountains or to see the city. Being close to the motorway makes it easy to leave in the morning without crossing the centre.
If you want to compare other places in the region, on Mapiola you will find B&B Color Rovereto, in Rovereto and Agritur Locanda San Martino, in Cavizzana. If you are heading towards the lake, there is B&B Villa Giulia Rooms & Bike, in Toscolano Maderno. Each has its own page, so it is worth comparing them before you decide.
