Pros:

Elhelyezkedés

Cons:

A reggeli rendkivul gyenge volt. Jobb lett volna, ha csak azt mondják: csak olaszos reggeli van, azaz capuccino es cornetto. Tobb napos ujramelegitett, gusztustalan rantotta, az automataban nescafe. A hig narancsle is elfogyott, vagy csak egyszeruen nem volt pohar a vizhez sem.

Nice room and kind staff, horrible
Pros:

The location and the kidness of the staff.

Cons:

The breakfast is a serious health hazard so is the so called staff who manages it.I would not even call this breakfast at this point. Days old dry bread, no fruits or vegetables, week old eggs and the cold cuts looked a bit discoloured. If something ran out they did not refill.
Guys do better than this.

A good hotel in a great location with friendly helpful reception staff.
Pros:

We had a very warm welcome when checking in and out. The hotel is in a great location across the road from St Anthony’s cathedral and very close to all the attractions in the old town. The room and bathroom were very big and spotlessly clean. As my Italian is minimal, Fabrizio very helpfully phoned our favourite restaurant and made a booking for us.

Cons:

Limited selection for breakfast and sadly when we were staying the coffee machine wasn’t working very well.
