Albergo Cappello e Cadore

Our group stayed at Albergo Cappello on the eight and ninth (final) night of our trek on the AV1 in the Dolomites. (The remainder of our baggage had been routed here, so it was a nice bonus to wear something new after 8 days on the trail.) The LOCATION was by far the best feature - In the center of old town, between the cathedral and the main square, and with scores of restaurants & shops a short walking distance away. It was also a 10-minute walk from the bus and train stations, both of which we used. (A bus from the last trailhead; a train to Venice the last morning). As it turns out, there wasn't much choice, since there weren't many hotels in this area. As for the rooms, mine was small and dark, despite being on the top floor. The hotel was obviously older, with several generations of updates and renovations under the surface. But...It still felt luxurious to have a private room, private shower, and air conditioning after so many days of sharing bathrooms and bunks. The staff was friendly; the front desk guy seemed to be managing almost everything. He was very patient when I called to say the AC unit in my room wasn't working - It turned out there were two controllers, and the one on the wall wasn't functional (A sign would have been nice) Breakfast was very OK. Not quite as good as some of the spreads we had in the mountains, but good enough to keep us going for a few hours. Overall we had a decent stay here. Despite my momentary perception of relative luxury, I must put my "realism glasses" back on to rate the place - it felt about average for an Italian hotel.

The room was a bit small, but clean and quiet! Just around the corner from the City Center

Very updated room with lots of cool lighting! Spacious sleeping and bathroom areas. There is no on-site parking, but public parking about 100m away.

Basic, but clean and modern rooms with good shower rooms. Unfriendly reception lady, but we were glad to be here after our AV1 hike. Breakfast was pretty good. Very central location. Good for one night post hike. Only ten minutes walk from the bus/train station.

This hotel has an old fashioned feel to it, but I found it clean and quiet. There must be two classes of rooms in this hotel because my room looked nothing like the official photos. Breakfast was simple but good.

This hotel was convieniently located near all of the shopping, dining and walkable from the train station. Our room was large and newly remolded with a very modern bathroom. The included breakfast was full of wonderful options and fresh pastries. They have a laundry facility with a small charge that we took advantange of since it was in the middle of our trip. We discovered that Beaune is the Sister City to our town of Bend Oregon so that was just to see the plaque in the town center. Lots of great shopping near by and restaurant options.
