Top San Donato Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

8/10 Good

"The hotel was impressive. Room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Very close to a lot of places to visit. 10-15 min walk from the Scalanita del Pincio and Piazza Maggiore. Close to the airport as well. Great place for the price."

Hotel Internazionale

8/10 Good

"Hotel is very centrally located and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would say the look of the rooms were a little outdated( think early 1990s). Super clean. If I were to leave any suggestions would be for a better direction to the parking garage….prior to arrival. Frost desk help was very friendly and super nice!"
