The ABC is overall a well-maintained hotel and conveniently located across from Mantua train station and with a bus stop to take you to the center-which is only a 10 minute walk. The room was clean, but to put it delicately simply furnished, and the double bed, while comfortable, unfortunately consisted of two matresses pushed together. The breakfasts were, however, delicious, and the staff was friendly and answered all my questions; not everyone spoke English however. As I discovered, however, in Italy English speakers are the minority. I would recommend this hotel-not fancy but comfortable.
