Everything was impeccable. The nicest staff, big rooms with nice AC, toiletries and facilities. However, my only inconvenience was the cleaning. My bedsheets had BLOOD STAINS!! I found out when I was about to sleep after a long day and I felt so so disgusted, I just couldn’t lay properly thinking on how dirty the bed could be 😭

Great value, service and location

A wonderful hotel in a very convenient part of the city, close to everything. Streets nearby are well-lit and safe to walk. The buffet breakfast was excellent but sometimes short of choices. Room was very comfortable and cleaned daily.

Maravilhoso, ótima localização!

O hotel é otimo! Amplo, arejado, quartos limpos, bom atendimento, cafe da manhã excelente, academia, ar condicionado em todos os ambientes. Proximo a estação de trem. Fui a pé da estação ate o hotel. Ainda facilitou para fazer os passeios contratados, pois os onibus das excursões saiam proximo ao hotel. Alem disso, os pontos turísticos tb estao muito proximos. Fiz tudo a pé. Restaurantes nas rendondezas. Em poucos metros vc se depara com ruas repletas de bons restaurantes. Recomendo! Otimo custo benefício!

Ótimo Custo Benefício

Hotel se encontra a 10 minutos a pé da estação central e 15 minutos a pé do Duomo. Quarto incrivelmente amplo, café da manhã bem variado e saboroso. Águas de cortesia no frigobar e um proseco de boas vindas fazem que o cliente se sinta valorizado de alguma forma. O hotel fica em frente a uma praça que a noite pode parecer um pouco estranho e as vezes barulhenta para quem tem sono leve.

Hôtel de la situation

Cet hôtel était parfait pour séjourner sur une courte durée et se sentir à l'aise. Bon emplacement, proche de la gare et du centre ville historique. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Le personnel a été très aimable et à l'écoute malgré le fait que je parlais peu italien.

Goede basic accommodatie. Verwacht niet te veel van het ontbijt, maar prima. Het is best wel gehorig. Je hoort mensen op de gang lopen en één avond/nacht waren er mensen luid aan het praten op de binnenplaats, wat je heel Goed hoort
