To start on a positive note: the airconditioning worked to perfection, and the location was excellent if one often needs to catch a train, literally just meters away from Garibaldi's train station. Good beds & clean sheets/towels. The communication also worked fast and wel, with the staff being good willing and helpful.
With that said, the place is a somewhat rundown building, and each floor is a different hotel or airB&B, with varying degrees of upkeep, cleanliness, "make up" , etc. but nothing can hide the fact that the old lift sometimes refuses to work(difficult to keep one's good humour after climbing 5 flights of stairs), as well as the warm water in the bathroom. Luckily it was an extraordinarily hot week. I wonder how that works in winter...
All in all, the prices were low and, considering that, one gets what one pays for. It was worth it, and I would recommend, but with warnings (or a more accurate description on the site).
