Basic hotel, close to train station.
Room was good size and clean. Breakfast was average, but the standout problem for us was that all of staff was cold, unfriendly and generally unpleasant; especially the breakfast attendant. Will never stay here again.

Only a brief stay but superbly clean hotel with a lot of old Italian character coupled with modern amenities. Easily more than a 3 star hotel.

Rather large room for a family of 4. Everyone had their own bed, which was a huge plus! Large bathroom as well. The breakfast was really nice and the cappuccino was so good! The woman working the breakfast (I didn’t catch her name) was so nice!
