Hotel Duchi Vis a Vis

This is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. The reception staff were really welcoming and friendly. Lovely breakfast with food to meet all tastes.

We stayed in the annex part of the Hotel Duchi d'Aosta and it was perfect for what we needed. It is located very close to the waterfront and the beautiful Piazza Unita d'Italia. From here, you can walk to local attractions, the many bars and restaurants nearby, and can easily get a bus up the coast, or a ferry over to Muggia. ||||The room itself was great. A very comfortable firm bed, and a space to hang clothes. We also had a sofa to relax on, and could see the sea from our window, which was lovely. ||||The bathroom was well appointed (though the fixed showerhead was a little too low for my 6 foot 2 partner). I really liked the storage drawer, as we could unpack all of our toiletries into it, but they didn't take up all the surfaces in the room (like most other hotels). ||||Breakfast was pretty good (served in Harry's Bistro) in the main hotel. The breakfast staff were chirpy and welcoming and there was a wide range of food on offer.

Good location of the hotel. |If you want to have a sea view from your room, then you should consider another hotel. View from most of the windows are directed to an ally and neighbor building. You might be able to see what other people have for dinner :)||The room was cleaned every day - good pillows and medium soft bed. Have not tested the AC - since I like to sleep with window open.||It was a free minibar in the room - with soft drinks included (at least what we have been told at arrival).||Hotel does not have a reception, it shares the reception with Grand Hotel, just on the other side of the road - approx 20 meters of walking distance. ||The hotel does not have its own restaurant (since it is boutique - obviously) - so you can have the breakfast at Grand Hotel. Very expensive - €25 for a rather small selection and unfortunately, if you want to have anything besides, such as scrambled eggs - you will need to pay additional €7 for a tiny portion.

Stayed one night in Room 12 with a partial view of the Adriatic. This is the 4 star building of the 5 star Grand Duchy d’Aosta right next door. Since you check in and use the Grand Duchy Concierge, it is a 5 star experience. Elevator servicing all floors. Small, but luxerious rooms, towels, sheets, beds. Quite with double windows. Cannot hear a sound from busy traffic below. Safe and well lit area also.|You are steps from Harry’s Bar, Bistro and Michelin star restaurant. Right on the PiazzaUnita d’Italia with the grand Hapsburg palaces lining both sides. Great shopping, restaurants, cafes within steps and most on pedestrian fondly streets.|If you are arriving or departing by ferry, the terminal is a flat 300 metres away. If by taxi, he will drop you on your front step|Highly |Recommend.

Duchi Vis a Vis features modern rooms, some of them small and bordered by a rather dark side street. Several rooms are larger and brighter. Our bright room was equipped with an Illy coffee machine, which on request was supplied with more than 2 coffee capsules per day. The rich breakfast in the Grand Hotel Duchi d'Aosta opposite was served in the classic breakfast room and on the terrace overlooking Piazza Unità. The service of the attentive waiter Tommy was exemplary. A highly recommended hotel which is worth the price.

Hotel is in an amazing location and staff are very nice but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. We went to check into hotel and were taken to the Grand Hotel across the street and then trek across the street to the Vis a Vis. We get into small glass elevator with our luggage only to get stuck twice- went up without luggage second time and door would not open. Staff come to our assistance saying we are over weight. We are average weight but I did pack a lot but honestly even the old elevators in Rome handled it so not sure why a modern elevator had issues. Get to our room and the bathroom is open to the room. There was supposed to be a glass sliding door but it has been removed. Small fridge in room does not work and room smells of smoke!!! Ugh!!!! It’s for one night and we are tired so we both settle in for the night! Well a big red sign is glowing outside of our window….think of the Seinfeld Kenny Roasters episode and you get the picture! Breakfast not included but costs 29 Euros Italian style or 39 Euros for American style.

We stayed one night at the VisaVis before boarding our cruise ship. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the terminal and a block from the ocean. The rooms are very clean, a bit small but very comfortable. Also close to many restaurants and shopping. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely zero street noise or from neighboring rooms. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed 4 nights at the end of October. The hotel (Vis a Vis) was very comfortable - the room was well appointed and a reasonable size. Staff experiences were all very positive - helpful and happy. Tommi at Harry’s for breakfast has a unique touch - outgoing and welcoming which meant everyday got off to a great start!
