First the positives , the staff was excellent , very helpful and accommodating. And the bed was very comfortable , the location next to the Duomo was excellent .
The decor was a bit stark .Our first room was very dark , facing an internal courtyard of pipes and others rooms . No sunlight . We asked for a brighter room and the switched us right away to the front of the building which was better . The room itself was a cement block , all cement walls. The bed floated in the middle ,a desk was our headboard . No other furniture . The decor may have been chic and trendy ,but very bleak . The bathroom was all copper , floor to ceiling . Hard to tell if it was clean . The sink was small and the counter was knee high . Very difficult to use . The shower was good , but no shampoo or additional soap . When people are traveling for a long time ,they look forward to a comfortable room to come back to at the end of the day . This was not . Also ,room did not include breakfast ,and had to be ordered the night before if you wanted it . Strange . This type of hotel may appeal to some , but not to us .
