Top hotels in Brescia Antica
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.

Hotel Sirmione Terme
Nicely positioned hotel on the lake and for the ferry stop. Rooms a little small but the balcony was nice with a view of the lake. Staff in the restaurant were helpful and friendly.

Hotel Flaminia
The hotel was great and my jacuzzi and balcony had a great view of the sunset. The breakfast and restaurant downstairs were amazing and overall very happy with the service. Downsides: the rooms are a bit small and outdated. The WiFi was horrible and as someone who depends on that when traveling abroad ...

Hotel Porto Azzurro
Fantastic breakfast, great variety and quality. Very quiet to sleep, excellence rest. They give bicycles to reach town centre, which is an excellent idea. I will definitely return for longer!
