Oldish room, very small bathroom, noisy from street activities. Very good location close to the train station, restaurants and Duomo and other museums. I recommand this hotel for the location, a plus since you don’t have to carry your suitcase far. Lots of restos close by so is the market for great lunches.

The hotel is conveniently located as it is very near the train station. The street also has grocery store, laundry shop and a lot of dining options! Plus very near the duomo. Room is very clean. Our room was on the street side and I could hear the people having drinks at the nearby restaurant but nothing that could not be fixed by closing the window. As we leave very early, the staff graciously packed our breakfast the night before (juice, water, fruits and biscuits).
