Hotel Le Pageot: Utilitarians welcome
by wild.goose
Well, if all you want to do is check in, go to your room, have breakfast in the morning, then go out or check out, then Le Pageot is truly a decent hotel. Beds are comfortable and clean and its location near the train station, bus station, piazza and an internet point are certainly bonuses. However, staff can be a pain to talk to. Quite arrogant, presumptions and ill-timed. We were completely satisfied with the hotel's facilities and standards and loved its good location, but if ever went back to Aosta, we'd maybe try Hotel Mount Emilius which is next door and where we went to eat, because the people were nice and warm, and truly made you feel welcomed and relaxed - the way you should feel if you're on a holiday. Le Pageot made us feel like were were imposing on them, and we were glad to check out.
Note that on the website, it says that an internet point is available at the hotel, however due to a new Italian law passed around Aug 2005 to counter terrorrism, only authorised outlets are permitted to have internet points.
