It is a very old property like Italy. I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff was friendly. They can do a better job updating their linens. The bedding and pillows were needing replacement. I did not like the immediate neighborhood.

The hotel is perfectly located next to the historic old town, but misses the cheesy tourist strip. The neighborhood and surrounding streets have a lot of bars and restaurants that serve locals (no english on menus) and is very lively on weekends. The receptionist and staff at hotel are polite and friendly and give good suggestions on places to visit. The wifi was quick and room spacious and clean

I loved the location, very convenient and walkable. Close to public transportation. Air conditioner in the room stopped working after 2 days and at night was impossible to sleep, very noisy neighbourhood! Staff were nice.

The breakfast was excellent. One of the best we have had in Europe. I am fairly thin but i could hardly turn around in the shower. There was inadequate places to park.

Hotels.com's description of the hotel does not correspond at all to the actual conditions.How the hotel can be described as 4 stars is a mystery. If I had known the quality in advance, I would definitely have chosen another hotel.
In general, the room was very, very tired. Broken teething mugs (of which there was only 1), blankets with holes in them, hard cushions (of which there were only 3) and worn furniture.
Furthermore Hotel guests do NOT have access to any roof terrace. There is NO bar or snack bar. That there is a fridge in the reception where you can buy water and sometimes a glass of wine is not a bar/snack bar.
The pictures from the breakfast buffet show that there are many different kinds of fresh fruit. That is not the case. There were four half-rotten apples.
The only positive was the helpful and friendly staff everywhere, from the receptionists, the cleaning staff and the lady at the breakfast buffet.

LOUD LATE in the NIGHT
The hotel is near a place where late night outdoor parties are held late in the night. It booming music that is non-stop interspersed with cars with boomboxes trying to compete who is loudest.
I sleep thru most noises but this was insane. Windows and shutters shut tight, the complimentary earplugs and the hum of the air conditioner are no use.

We strongly believe that Expedia should no longer be listing this hotel. It is located in a very unpleasant and dirty area, is very shabby and poorly cared for. The room we were given was one of the "01" numbered rooms, that are right next to a very noisy old lift. They said they couldn't move us as they were totally full, but later in the evening we started hearing dripping water inside the room from the ceiling (not sure if this was from the air conditioning or from a bathroom on the floor above) and they eventually but reluctantly agreed that the room was unfit and that they would move us to a sister hotel (The Garibaldi) the following morning. The Garibaldi was fine, but the Vecchio Borgo is not of the quality one expects to find listed on Expedia
