PERFECT location. Steps from the piazza maggiore. Odd and quirky decor, but we knew that in advance. Our room was an homage to the Kennedy family - odd being in italy. Chose it for its location. Good breakfast in an adjoining cafe downstairs. Nice and accommodating staff. Nothing over the top, just fine, reasonably prices and prime location.

17.6/10 Exceptional! (999 reviews)

Room had everything you needed except a kettle and coffee machine. Bath was a good size. Digital light switches problematic. Breakfast noisy due to the chairs being scrapped along the floor. Limited bread choice. Coffee in the pots was cold. Should have had a coffee machine. Mirror needed above bedroom unit. Noisy corridors. No restaurant although menu on display. Expensive for what it offered.
