Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a modern bathroom in the quiet rooms for a good night's sleep, but there was no lift to the top floor and the absence of an open bar or restaurant was a downside. The service from the staff was excellent, striking the right balance between friendly and professional. The location was convenient with easy parking and options for dining nearby. The dining experience, though not extensive, was satisfactory, and the warm bread was a nice touch.
The hotel is in a central location, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious and nicely designed but faced noise from nearby venues. The service was excellent with attentive staff offering various amenities. However, the dining options were limited, and the breakfast service ended early. Overall, a good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and pleasant, were smaller than expected and breakfast time felt rushed. The staff, however, were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the guests' needs.
My stay at the hotel was cozy and pleasant overall. The rooms were snug and more suitable for solo travelers due to their small size and location. The decor felt a bit dated with dark varnished doors and furniture. However, the service was exceptional, especially the young woman from Sardinia who was incredibly helpful. The location was excellent, close to the town center yet distanced enough to avoid noise. The dining experience was basic and could have offered more variety. The facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The rooms were a bit cramped for our needs and being situated above the kitchen made it noisy and hot, affecting my sleep. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, offering clear guidance on nearby attractions and eateries. The location was convenient for walking into the city center, though the description did not quite match the reality of the rooms.
The hotel's location was perfect with free parking, right in the middle of town within easy reach of various attractions. The rooms were under the roof and needed better cleaning maintenance, especially after the previous guests. The service was friendly and professional, understanding of unexpected situations. The dining was satisfactory but lacked variety. The facilities needed improvement, particularly in the room cleanliness and functionality.
