We really enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend it. Since it’s north of the city center, it’s a quieter area but still close to everything.

Very well organized but on reflection I did slip in the bath so maybe they need an extra handle for older people. I do love to sit in the bath when my feet are burning and sore. Everything was perfect other than that.

It was a good standard of hotel, about 10 mins walk into the centre and away from all the noise. The bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly enough. There was a small gym, a restaurant and a small bar area. It wasn't noisy. The breakfast had cereals and pastries and cheeses etc. I was happy to stay here.

Needs to Lift Its Game
Room and bathroom are tiny, of modern design but devoid of functionality. Service in relation to parking was both misleading and inadequate, causing us 3hrs of inconvenience finding off-site secure parking for 20 euros/day when the hotel has parking for 24 euros, but neglected to mention it to us. Breakfast offering and service were woeful - for over 30 minutes there were no eggs and bacon.

Overall Good stay
The hotel lobby was amazing. Breakfast was great! Room had some minor things that you can tell were from lack of maintenance. Exhaust fan in bathroom didn't work which was the reason the paint on the ceiling was peeling in the bathroom. Toilet seat was loose and falling off. Bed was hard as crap but that is just Italian beds. Balcony was nice and private. Closet space was adequate and TV was great. Wifi wasn't bad either. Would stay their again. Getting to the hotel was very easy and parking in their underground parking garage was a bit steep at 24 euros per night.
