We stayed in the Modern Double room & although small, it was perfect for two people. Very clean & comfortable with an amazing location on the Piazza Grande. Numerous restaurants located in walking distance. And the hotel has a wonderful restaurant right on the piazza. Although there’s no front desk, the hotel’s virtual contact (Marcello) was quick to correct any issues.
