The staff were all 5+ star: always very polite, helpful and professional. Room and hotel itself were simple and lovely, but very, very clean. Beautiful terraces and yummi Breakfast. Location is insane to all local shops and main attractions, took me 14 minutes by foot to Duomo and 25 to the Main train station. Would recommend and return.

This hotel was nice. The rooms were pretty standard, but we had a really strange smell in our that never left! The stuff were all so kind when we checked in the man gave us all the information a map and a bottle of water each! There is nothing wrong with this place. It’s not too far from the centre but there are not a lot of places to eat nearby
