Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious enough for all our belongings, although it did get hot at times. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely helpful and kind, especially considering our limited Italian. The location was central and convenient for exploring the city, near both the train and bus stations. The dining options were satisfactory, offering a good selection of breakfast items. Overall, a good value for money stay with minor room temperature issues.
The hotel offers a unique experience with a rooftop terrace showcasing a delightful view over the city. While the rooms have an older style, they are kept clean. However, the lack of suitable sockets and poor room amenities made the stay less than ideal.
I didn't need a big room for just four people, but this place felt more like an apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a writing area. However, there was a lingering smell of cigarettes, probably from the past usage as smoking rooms.
