We really enjoyed our stay! The front desk staff were pleasant and accommodating. Public transport is just outside the hotel. The only downside is the noise, due to it's location (right neck to busy streets), but it wasn't loud enough that we couldn't sleep. More like traffic white noise? Big shout-out for Fabio, who was a pleasure to meet!
