Good choice of breakfast varieties plus hot drinks, juice, water. Room was good size, loved the terrace on top with view towards the Duomo. Hotel in quiet area though inside walls thin and some guests were noisy past midnight. Nothing excessive though. Man aged to get a good sleep. Good find and value for money. Close to transport, amenities and city centre.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Our room was right next to the stairs. There was a group of teenagers staying that ran up and down the stairs yelling until midnight. They stayed 2 nights. The open windows allowed mosquitos to enter. We recieved multiple bites. There were 2 plugs. One in the bathroom. The small refrigerator did not keep anything cold. We asked to change rooms but they did not.

Located only a couple of minutes to City center. We had a small rooms with two single beds. The beds we're okay for one night. Unfortunately no plugs at the beds, and only 1 plug in the whole room . The other guests (youths) were quite noisy in the night while coming home. We had a room next to the stairs (steel) and woke up as we heared every step on it. The breakfast was included,.however die not look good as there was only a poor choice of single-packed cakes. In total an acceptable stay for 1 night in a budget
