The hotel is nothing short of Splendid. A wonderful, new top to bottom renovation makes for a bright, contemporary space. The restaurant is first rate. It is located in a convenient location, 5 minutes from the bus stop and the gates to Corso Umberto. The amphitheatre is a short, scenic 10 minute walk.

The hotel is very clean and close to the city center which was great. The problem is the room is very small which is somewhat normal in Italy but the balcony was 3 times bigger then the room and when it’s raining a lot there is not much to do when the tv has only one station in English then the tv stopped working the last 2 days . They should at least have a smart tvs so you can watch Netflix or something else.

I booked the room for three adults but the second bed is a twin bed very hard for 5feet 11 inches son to sleep on it. In addition, it’s very strange that the bathroom has a window open and it has no curtain therefore there is no privacy when one of us needs to use the bathroom. The breakfast from Splendid is super good and free. I love it.
