The unbeatable location, comfortable rooms, and efficient service are only some of the things we liked about our 3-week stay at Grand Hotel Trento. This is one of the best accommodations we found in the Trento city center.
We explored the Trentino-Alto Adige region for three weeks, visiting its cities as well as famous Dolomites locations. Trentino capital and an important historical city, we decided to make Trento the base for our fantastic summer holiday. Here is the full review of our experience in the 4-star Grand Hotel Trento.

This Trento hotel is among Trentino accommodations that issue the Trentino Guest Card. So if you are a guest here staying a couple of days, inquire with the reception and they will give it to you for free. It will save you plenty of money as it includes public transport and the entrance to many attractions including the MUSE and the Buonconsiglio Castle.
I had a couple of experiences with their services and I was happy all the time. Once, I had lost a small veggie knife I carry with me when I travel. I had brought it to breakfast to peel and cut some fresh fruits and I forgot it there. I remembered in the evening after all our sightseeing when I needed it again. It’s just a small knife but I’m so used to it that I would have been really sorry to lose it.
I asked the restaurant and they couldn’t find it as in the evening they have different staff than in the morning. So I let the receptionist know so they could handle it with their different employees. After half an hour they called me into my room to go and pick it up as they had just found it.
The second time I needed their customer services was because of a technical issue with the light. It suddenly stopped working. They called the technician and in half an hour everything was solved.

Breakfast and restaurant of Grand Hotel Trento
The daily breakfast of this 4-star accommodation in central Trento is a large and rich buffet. You have plenty of savory and sweet options such as scrambled and boiled eggs, bacon, all types of nuts and seeds, yogurt, several types of jams, fresh seasonal fruits, veggies like salad and tomatoes, cheese, cold cuts, and many types of bread, both white and whole-grain.
For those who like it, there is the batter ready next to the waffles machine. So you can make your own and top it with creams and jams.
Obviously, you can have any drink you like. There are two machines to make coffee, tea, and cappuccino, but there are also waiters who can bring you the drink you want from the bar like a typical Italian breakfast. On the buffet table, you will also find fresh juices and flavored water with lemon or fresh mint.
When breakfast is over, the Clesio Restaurant serves gourmet dishes for lunch and dinner. The cuisine follows the regional tradition and uses high-quality ingredients.

Value for money
We stayed there also with my parents and we were all very happy about our holiday, the hotel service and facilities and the value for money. As a tip to save some money, we suggest booking well in advance. We booked our rooms several months before departure and we saved almost half of the price as our holiday was in summer, so high season, while the rates we paid were off-season.
Breakfast and WiFi are included in the room. At the reception, you will also find the promotions of their spa and sauna.
