The room was tiny and the blankets seemed old but the bed was clean and the room was clean. The location is excellent and is 2 minutes walk from the Duomo metro stop. The breakfast was great and had lots of options and was included in the price. There is only one elevator to the rooms. There are lots of places to shop and eat within a 2-3 minute walk. The Duomo is a 2 minute walk down the street.

Ok so the hotel is fairly basic and not the most modern. BUT location is everything. You are literally a minutes walk (if that!) from the Duomo. Also great value for money for where it’s situated as other hotels I looked at in that location were hugely more expensive. Breakfast is included and was good!

It was interesting to spend the night in this hotel. The room and shower are very small, and the soundproofing requires better; you can even hear someone fart, but overall it was fun. The location is super and the breakfast is good.
