We had a great stay at Hotel Piroscafo. The location is excellent, close to shops and restaurants, and the rooms are quaint and very clean. Parking was easy with their arrangement at a nearby underground lot (about a 6-minute walk), with in-and-out privileges billed directly by the hotel—very convenient. The included breakfast was excellent, and all the staff were very kind and helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience and highly recommended.
