The Kraken Inn is a steampunk-themed boutique B&B located in Bergamo, Lombardy, just steps from Accademia Carrara and Teatro Donizetti.
The property features a garden with outdoor furniture, free WiFi throughout and on-site private parking, convenient for those arriving by car. The rooms, both around 16 m², are air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with bidet, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a minibar; one offers a balcony with garden view, the other a patio, providing an alternative for those who prefer a private outdoor space. In the morning, guests can enjoy a continental, Italian or buffet breakfast.
The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who gave it a score of 9.5 for a trip for two: the historic centre, the Renaissance palaces of Via Pignolo and the railway station are within walking distance, while Orio al Serio Airport is about 6 km away, connected by a paid shuttle organised by the property itself.
The Kraken Inn offers two types of double room, both around 16 m², designed for stays as a couple thanks to a large double bed. Each room is air-conditioned and includes a private bathroom with bidet, a wardrobe, bed linen and a flat-screen TV with access to streaming services such as Netflix, plus a minibar for refreshments and drinks always at hand.
The main difference between the two options concerns the private outdoor space: the Double Room with Balcony offers a balcony overlooking the garden, ideal for those who want a few minutes outdoors in the morning, while the Double Room with Patio features a private patio with the same green view. In both cases the bathroom is private and equipped with a shower, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, for a practical and comfortable stay without giving up a touch of steampunk originality.
This air-conditioned double room is the only one of the two with a private balcony overlooking the garden, in addition to the bathroom with bidet, flat-screen TV with streaming services and minibar. A compact but functional space, designed for two people.
Same size as the Room with Balcony, but with a private patio instead of the balcony, for those who prefer an outdoor space at garden level. It has a private bathroom with bidet, flat-screen TV with streaming and minibar.
The Kraken Inn is designed for a practical stay in the heart of Bergamo, with a furnished garden to relax in and free on-site private parking, useful for those arriving by car without having to look for a spot in the centre. The property also offers a shuttle service and a paid airport shuttle to reach Orio al Serio airport, as well as a luggage storage service handy for those with flexible arrival or departure times.
Every room is air-conditioned and the common areas benefit from heating, while the entire property is non-smoking, with a dedicated smoking area outside. Check-in and check-out can take place privately, and an invoice is available on request. For those wanting something extra, minibar and wine or champagne options are available in the room, rounding off an offering that is carefully detailed even in the light dining spaces.
The Kraken Inn is located on Via Angelo Mazzi, in a residential stretch just steps from Bergamo’s historic centre, among the streets climbing towards the Città Alta and the Pignolo district, rich in historic palaces such as Palazzo Marenzi and Palazzo Suardi. The area retains a quiet character, dotted with cafés such as Caffetteria del Borgo, about 150 metres away, and traditional trattorias such as Trattoria Caironi, just as close.
The property is also convenient for those getting around without a car: Bergamo Railway Station is about 1 km away, the lower funicular station for Città Alta is 1.2 km away, while Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport is about 6 km away, with a paid airport shuttle organised directly by the property. Bergamo Cathedral is 2.7 km away, a distance that can be covered on foot in about half an hour or quickly by public transport.
Those staying here can spend their days exploring the lower town and the Città Alta: the Accademia Carrara, 700 metres away, houses one of the most important Renaissance painting collections in Lombardy, while Teatro Donizetti, about 1 km away, hosts opera and concert seasons linked to the Bergamo-born composer. Climbing towards Piazza Vecchia, 1.4 km away, you reach the monumental heart of the Città Alta, with the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Palazzo della Ragione. In winter, the proximity to the Orobie Prealps also makes it easy to take a trip to the ski slopes of Val Seriana, while in summer the historic centre offers evening walks among the arcades and viewpoints over the plain.
Guests particularly praise the hospitality, with a staff score of 9.8, and the cleanliness of the property, rated at the same level. Comfort and location are also highly appreciated, while the value for money, though solid at 9.4, remains the aspect rated slightly lower than the others.
