"Very helpful staff, great service. Nothing was too much trouble, particularly from the housekeeping staff. Nice comfortable room, only slight criticism would be that the beds were a little soft for our taste. More so on my partner's side. Good location near the train station and 15 minutes walk to Piazza Maggiore. I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Had a lovely stay. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Hotel very clean. Elevator was a big help with stairs. Yes it is on a busy street with a lot of circulation at night but it is convenient. Only wish there a fridge in room or to share on my floor."
