In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Finding the entrance can be tricky — The hotel is not directly off Piazza Maggiore and is accessed via an intercom, which some guests found a bit confusing on arrival.
  • Breakfast is simple — While guests find breakfast adequate, it is not a highlight of the stay and may be basic.
  • Limited in-room amenities — Some rooms do not have air conditioning, relying instead on ceiling fans; and all rooms feature showers only, no bathtubs.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
