We could only stay one night, but we enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful with recommending what to see on one afternoon, and with a restaurant for dinner. It's super convenient that it's only a few minutes from the train station.

Excellent location - not too far from the Pincipe station but not too close to the crowd. Room and bathroom simple and clean, very high ceiling makes it feel comfortable. Staff (may be owners) very friendly. Only downside - located 2 floors up the stairs (very long ones) with no elevator, not recommended for those with leg/knee problems with heavy luggage.

Not for old people

Nowhere did Expedia say that the Balbi Hotel is on the third floor of an old building without elevator. We had to climb 53 steps with our luggage. We were exhausted when we arrived at the desk.

Great location, friendly staff

This hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk from the train station and across the street from the Royal Palace Museum (which is awesome). It's one of the few hotels where the reception desk was open after 7:00. Bathroom was small but room was spacious, with a window overlooking the street. Very friendly staff! They were quite helpful showing us around and watching our bags after checkout.
