This was our first trip to Italy, and this was the first hotel we stayed in during our journey. It’s just a short walk from the train station and is close to so many great sites and restaurants. It was easy to navigate the city from here. The room was clean and charming and the breakfast was perfect!

The property was fairly close to all the major sites and the train station. The rooms are very small, but we didnt stay in them very long, shower-sleep, Nice bathroom w/shower and clean. Could walk to most everything so no real need for taxi. Tram was bout 5 blocks away which took us to day trips. We did not use the breakfast option, didnt look that great, similar to the cheap american hotel breakfasts.

Great location, comfortable room, great price

Great location, only around 10 minutes walk to the Duomo. Staff at reception were nice and they let us check-in slightly early as our room was ready. The room itself was clean, a decent size, and modern with a great aircon. Fantastic price for the location and room - would definitely recommend.

My stay here was fantastic. It was a short walk from many essentials—from the train station, to markets, restaurants/cafes, and (more importantly, for those on a long trip) foolproof laundromats. The staff were kind, welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean and always well-kept. I would for sure stay here again the next time I’m in town! Highly recommend.

The room itself was okay if a bit small. However, we had issues with the bathroom. The shower drain didn’t work properly. We alerted the hotel, but nothing was done to correct the situation. The bathroom also emanated a weird sewage smell.
