Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-kept, but a bit small. The service was top-notch, and the location was convenient. However, the dining options were limited, and some facilities could be improved.
The hotel was a gem nestled between the train station and the Duomo, making it incredibly convenient. The rooms were cozy and clean, but the dining experience left something to be desired with a limited menu. The service was top-notch, and the price was reasonable considering the superb location.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, even though they are small, without a toilet or shower. The staff provides great service, although some paid services are available. The location is very close to the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining options are limited but include homemade pasta. The facilities are basic but satisfactory.
