Location was initially hard to find, but I saw a sign on the street pointing the right way to go. My directions gave two ways to go. The first involved going uphill and there were bikes whizzing by, so it wasn't very good if you have luggage. The other was flat and went by a bunch of people hanging out in the street. I didn't feel threatened but it isn't the best area in this lovely city. I don't know what it's like after dark. Basically, you take a right at the McDonalds, walk down the street past the Ethnic Market (a larger convenience store where I bought Coke Zeros several times) and follow the street around to the roundabout, take a right and go about 2-3 blocks. Staff was pleasant, helped with a safe issue (a prior occupant had left it locked) and kept their cool when I spilled some Coke Zero on the floor when retrieving my luggage that I had left after checking out. Internet was good, safe was a good size, and breakfast was good in terms of quality and quantity. There is a restaurant in the hotel that was closed Sunday night. We were very tired one night and ate there and we were glad that it was available. There isn't a lot around the hotel but it was a short walk to a nice area that had a lot of restaurants . We also were able to walk to a laundromat in the area as well as all of the tourist attractions. One curious thing about the hotel was that the room numbers were on the carpet instead of being on the door.

“Deceptive and comfortable ”

This hotel is deceptive. While nothing to look at on the outside and slightly on the edge of town but only a 7 minute walk from the station. It is clean, cool and comfortable inside.

This hotel is deceptive. While nothing to look at on the outside and slightly on the edge of town but only a 7 minute walk from the station. It is clean, cool and comfortable inside. The rooms are ample with a good sized en suite. The staff are delightful. The rooms have air conditioning and there is a lift to use for luggage. There is a small bar where we play cards and sip an aperol spritz and a lovely little cafe/dining area. Breakfast cost €5 pp and the menu is adequate for all other meals. Check it out and you’ll enjoy it too

“Friendly, clean hotel, in a beautiful part of Italy.”

Very friendly staff at this family run hotel. Exceptionally clean. Large airy bedroom. No tea/coffee in the bedroom, which seems to be the norm in Italy. The hairdryer is good. Only a shower in the bathroom, which would ordinarily be ok on holiday, but when waking 10 miles a day, a bath at the en... more

Very friendly staff at this family run hotel. Exceptionally clean. Large airy bedroom. No tea/coffee in the bedroom, which seems to be the norm in Italy. The hairdryer is good. Only a shower in the bathroom, which would ordinarily be ok on holiday, but when waking 10 miles a day, a bath at the end of the day would have been great. The bed is nice and firm, but the pillows are like stones, but again, after so much fun in the day, I could have slept standing up. It’s a five minute walk from the station, so perfect for travelling to different areas, and the trains are clean and frequent. Also ideal for transferring to/from the airport as the bus station is there too. A basic continental breakfast, which was sufficient but not exceptional. Dinner also was sufficient, but the restaurant doesn’t have much ambiance. Our waitress was super lovely (I think called Anna) and we enjoyed chatting with her greatly. There is only one plug point in the bedroom and it only works when the lights are on, so if you need to charge more than one phone etc, take a multi plug. Overall we were really happy, will definitely stay here again, and would recommend others to.
