Everything was impeccable. The nicest staff, big rooms with nice AC, toiletries and facilities. However, my only inconvenience was the cleaning. My bedsheets had BLOOD STAINS!! I found out when I was about to sleep after a long day and I felt so so disgusted, I just couldn’t lay properly thinking on how dirty the bed could be 😭

Great value, service and location

A wonderful hotel in a very convenient part of the city, close to everything. Streets nearby are well-lit and safe to walk. The buffet breakfast was excellent but sometimes short of choices. Room was very comfortable and cleaned daily.

Hôtel de la situation

Cet hôtel était parfait pour séjourner sur une courte durée et se sentir à l'aise. Bon emplacement, proche de la gare et du centre ville historique. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Le personnel a été très aimable et à l'écoute malgré le fait que je parlais peu italien.

Prima

Goede basic accommodatie. Verwacht niet te veel van het ontbijt, maar prima. Het is best wel gehorig. Je hoort mensen op de gang lopen en één avond/nacht waren er mensen luid aan het praten op de binnenplaats, wat je heel Goed hoort
