Great central location - only 5 mins walk to the Duomo and rail station. Warm reception from helpful staff. On quiet via Faenza so no overnight noise and a great sleep. Would recommend

Can't wait to be back:)
This hotel's location is about 5 min walk from the train station and 5 min to the center. Win-win. We were able to keep our luggages in their storage before our check-in time of 1pm. And yes, they warned us by email that 1pm was their checkin time.Despite being in an old building ( which all hotels are) the interior decoration Meets the standard. The room we had was for 5 people, two doubles and a twin beds. Very spacious, very clean, smells nice, wall and ceiling decor were fabulous. This hotel anticipated the needs of five people who will use the bathroom at the same time having 2 showers that can be used. Breakfast they served were plenty in the buffet. Meat, cereals, eggs and cakes. It was very good. Francesca and Beatrice were very helpful. They got us a tour for the next day by just picking up the phone and booking us. Francesca recommended a good restaurant for our dinner who served a juicy Florentine steak. We loved our stay here and would like to be back again. Thank you Francesca and Beatrice.
