Location
B&B Ai Prati is strategically situated for travelers who prioritize proximity to Orio al Serio Airport. Guests frequently highlight the convenience of the location, as it is only a short bus ride or a brief walk away from the airport. The downside, however, is its position on the outskirts of the city, which means it's a bit removed from Bergamo's center. Nonetheless, the location still garners positive remarks for being well-connected by bus routes, making it reasonably easy to reach both the city center and the train station.
The surrounding neighborhood is described as safe, quiet and residential, offering a peaceful stay. The area also includes a local shop, enhancing the convenience factor for guests. The B&B itself is housed on the second floor of a residential building and is noted for its clean, spacious rooms and good value for money.
An added perk is the outdoor area equipped with a garden, swing and mini pool, providing a pleasant space to unwind. While some reviews mentioned slight noise from the airport, the overall sentiment leans towards B&B Ai Prati being an ideal spot for a short stay in Bergamo, especially for those prioritizing easy access to the airport.

Travelers looking to stay at B&B Ai Prati should be aware that breakfast is not offered despite the establishment's name suggesting otherwise. Multiple guests have voiced their disappointment about the absence of breakfast, pointing out that there is neither a dedicated breakfast area nor any food provisions beyond minimal items like a packet of mayonnaise. This lack of breakfast could be particularly inconvenient for those planning to start their day early or looking forward to a morning meal as part of their stay. Guests should consider this when booking and possibly prepare for alternative breakfast arrangements.

The hotel's location is convenient, adding to its appeal.
On the downside, some guests report issues like rooms being too hot or cold without adjustable temperatures, lack of soundproofing and some cleanliness concerns. There are mentions of rooms smelling of mold or dust and the entire façade of the residence being under construction with scaffolding, which detracts from the ambiance. Instances of poor furniture, minimalistic setups that are sometimes not comfortable and inadequate transparency from the owner are noted.

3 Star
B&B Ai Prati offers a commendable quality-price ratio, making it a worthwhile option for budget-conscious travelers, especially those needing proximity to the airport. The accommodation consists of a three-room apartment, which provides acceptable lodging, particularly suited for short stays like overnight layovers or early morning flights.
