"Hotel carino ma da rinnovare"

Very Good

Posizione in pieno centro, staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Camera abbastanza grande con bagno nuovo e spazioso.

La moquette nei corridoi fa cattivo odore , le porte delle camere sono vecchissime e un po’ rumorose, l’aria condizionata non rinfrescava ed era rumorosissima, impossibile da tenere accesa durante la notte e con 37 gradi all’esterno e’ stata dura dormire!

Gentle and prepared staff and rooms properly cleaned. Also flexible enough to allow me a last shower after check-out times and after being away in the early morning. Overall, best compromise for price, quality and place.

A bit rumorous, considering is quite central and there is a bar right above. Perhaps happens to any hotel in the centre.
