I would stay here again!

Very clean, comfortable beds, beautiful-comfortable bedroom and bathroom. The restaurant is great! white tablecloths and impeccable setting in the dining room. Breakfast had good variety of meats and cheeses, fruits, croissants and pastries. All in addition to the traditional cereal, yogurt etc. You order the type of coffee you want, and they bring it to your table. Not self-service-machines. If felt pretty good. One night we ordered an Aperol-Spritz drink. It was good, but it cost 10 euro. In good restaurants they cost an average of 6 euros. I didn't like that The hotel staff was very friendly. Fabio was helpful with directions and suggestions about the city. Pretty hotel in a nice neighborhood near the wall. Access to the "old city" was convenient.

I will be back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received during my visit. From the moment I arrived, the reception team—Ina, Francesco, and Fabio—made me feel warmly welcomed. Their friendly demeanor and helpful tips about the area truly set the tone for a fantastic stay. The breakfast service was a highlight of my mornings. Although I regret not catching the names of the staff who attended to us, their attentiveness and care did not go unnoticed. They created such a cheerful atmosphere, ensuring that everything was well-stocked and that we were comfortable. It was a lovely way to start each day! Additionally, the room cleaning service was top-notch. The staff ensured my room was spotless and cozy, and I appreciated the little touches that made my stay even more enjoyable. Lastly, a shout-out to Italo at the bar! His cocktails were a delight, and his friendly conversation added a special touch to my evenings. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling refreshed and grateful for the wonderful experiences provided by the amazing staff. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay!
