Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although old, were surprisingly comfortable, but the constant noise from the busy streets could be quite disruptive. On the upside, the hotel was quiet, and the breakfast provided was nice.
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, making it perfect for travelers. The rooms are small but very clean, with a standout spacious bathroom featuring a nice shower/jacuzzi. The service provided by the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, always going above and beyond. The dining options are basic with room for improvement, but the value for money is fair. The location is excellent for sightseeing and easy access to attractions. Facilities are well-kept and functional.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms suited my purposes, being tidy, comfortable, and well air-conditioned. The only downside was the lack of noise isolation. I was upgraded to a bigger room because I stayed for four nights in Florence.
