About

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Parking is tricky without a pass — You have to park, walk to the hotel to get a pass for the restricted area, then drive back. It's manageable if two people travel together.
  • Facilities are basic — The hotel is a modest 3-star with amenities like a vending machine and a TV lounge rather than a gym, spa, or bar. The facilities rating is the lowest category at 7.5.
  • Breakfast may be a voucher, not a full buffet — While one review mentions an excellent buffet, another says breakfast is a voucher for a pastry and coffee at a nearby cafe, so expectations may vary.
  • Some rooms are small or attic-style — Budget and single rooms may be compact, and one guest got a 'garret' room with unique character but not much space.
  • Check-in has a limited window — Reception is only open from 14:00 to 22:30, so late arrivals could be a problem unless you arrange otherwise.

“Nice hotel with good Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a leisure room. The staff were especially kind when they helped me find my lost ID card on my first stay. Their friendliness, particularly Giuliano, is a real plus. Highly recommended.”

“The hotel was quite clean with attentive and pleasant staff and a savoury breakfast. My room was attractive, with a refrigerator, air conditioning, and a work desk. The location was unbeatable, only a 5-minute walk to Piazza del Duomo, close to the tower and the cathedral. The whole experience was lovely from start to finish.”
