Nice stay, modern hotel, a little out of the way.

Enjoyed my stay here, the vibe is very cool but has that feel of being a little worn out and not quite as polished as it was. The rooms are very plain, and perhaps lack a bit of character with everything just being white. Ours didn’t really use the space all that well and was missing a sofa considering it was a “suite”. Breakfast was good quality and plenty of options from the continental buffet to choose from. Staff were very friendly and helpful and make some great mocktails! Good location, but a bit out of the way from all the tourist things going on in the city so be prepared for a 20min walk into the centre and back.

Best of budget hotels

Hotel is new and in a restored building very close to the tram stop (giving easy access to the station and the airport). I opted for a loft room which has a tiny terrace. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel has a galley on each floor so there are no in room coffee/tea facilities and no fridge (very much missed as I was buying up Italian cheeses!). The hotel is the very best version of a budget hotel. Low of frills but executes style and design extremely well.

Brilliant stay at Ruby Bea

My stay was great. My room was beautiful, the hand soap and body lotion was devine. My only issue was that i couldn't get subtitles in English on the TV and the breakfast needed more variety.

Everything was awesome, from the cleanliness of the property to the friendliness of the staff. Raffa, Glenda, Marco, Carolina, Micks, and Vincent greeted us with a smile and superior hospitality multiple times everyday. They all were very helpful with assisting us trying to locate our checked luggage from the airport to helping me find a local golf course to suggesting food for us to try to trying to locate the many wine windows around the city. We will visit Italy again one day and we already decided that this property will be where we stay while we are there. Thank you for everything. (And just in case Raffa and Glenda sees this, our checked luggage never left the Charlotte airport...smh)
