7.6/10 Good! (1,012 reviews)

The property is very centrally located—just a short walk from the Duomo and the central train station, with easy access to the tram as well. I was pleasantly surprised by how convenient the location was. The staff were friendly, and the included breakfast was a nice way to start the day with a quick bite. The only suggestion I’d make is to provide a thicker blanket for added comfort.
