Location: Highly praised for its convenient proximity to the train station (5-6 minutes' walk) and the city center (15-minute walk). The quiet yet central location near key landmarks like Via dell'Indipendenza was a significant highlight.(based on 23 reviews)

The location of the hotel is good (7 mins walk to the central station and 1.5 km from the historical center etc.). And the room was quite ok. But the staff at the front desk seemed a bit cool (those serving at the breakfast place were fat better).

Good hotel, convenient location just outside ZTL and 15 minutes walking to city center. Breakfast is quite basic.

This hotel is a traditional style hotel. We liked it a lot, it was very comfortable. We had the best nights sleep there. And isn't sleeping the most important thing in a hotel? We liked the traditional room, it was cozy, with a balcony too, The service was helpful. The facade of the hotel building is not beautiful (in my opinion) but inside is a good hotel. We would definitely stay there again. It's convenient to the train station and to the city centre. The breakfast was pretty good.

Everyone would agree that they don't want to let others know where they like very much. This hotel provides pleasure and comfort, as evidenced by the friendly expressions on the staff. The spacious room and large bathtub are enough to relieve fatigue throughout the day, and I like the restaurant food. The proximity to the train station gives good transportation access. You may think the facility is a little old, but there is no inconvenience at all. Above all, I liked the bed. One thing is regrettable that there were no free drinks in the room.
