"The host was a very nice man, incredibly welcoming and helpful. You get this sense that you're well taken care of. Definitely deserves 5stars. If you are a light sleeper you should be travelling with earplugs; motorbikes in the night could get a little noisy. I'm sure that's an issue everywhere if you are closer to a roadway."
"We had such a great stay! The location couldn't have better, Andrea was incredibly accommodating with our check-in, holding our bags, setting up the sauna and even leaving me a surprise gift for my birthday :) would love to return!"
"Loved my stay from beginning to end.
The property uses self check-in, which was great because I arrived at an odd time. It went very smoothly. The instructions they sent were very detailed.
My room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
Breakfast was quick, convenient, and tasty. The outdoor seating area was lovely.
I can’t say enough good things about the property. "
"The neighborhood is not the prettiest, but the convenience of the location makes it an appealing choice.
I would stay there again. Extremely kind staff."

"We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and quiet, and it was a quick walk from the rail station. Gabriele made everything easy and convenient, and checked in to be sure we were comfortable. It was nice to grab a quick breakfast from the kitchen before catching an early train. Highly recommended and we’d absolutely stay here again!"
"Classic small European hotel very close to the Bellini park and main shopping street. Great location to explore the city. Helpful and friendly staff. "

"A good stay. Hotel is really close to the main train station, which is welcome after a long trip. Check in was efficient & friendly. Room wasn't the biggest but was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was actually quite large, again very clean. Shower was double sized and had great water pressure. Air con was good & powerful. There was an outside sitting area (shared) which was really nice. Breakfast was included in the rate, which I was surprised at because the rate was such good value. It was a buffet style and the seating areas for eating were really nice. The coffee was made for you, fresh - a nice touch. The area it was in was a bit sketchy, to be honest. It was totally fine if you were coming from the train station, but I then went out to find a bar and went further on in the same direction. It wasn't great, so I bought a couple of beers to go and went back to the room. Also, the hotel didn't have a bottle owner.....bear that in mind.
It's essentially an "old fashioned" hotel. Cleaners, reception, decor, breakfast service. All very welcome when lots of hotels say they're "coming up with innovative solutions" when in fact they're just cost cutting. This place isn't that.
I would definitely stay there again though. The value, the outside areas and the good standard of cleanliness makes it an easy decision."
"This property is beautiful just remodeled and so well maintained.All the staff was very nice and friendly!
Away from crowds and all the noise,but 5 min away with transportation to city center."
