Luci e ombre
Pros:

Hotel in pieno centro città bassa, proprio a fianco del museo del cristallo.
Buona e varia la colazione.
Buona l'accoglienza

Cons:

L'hotel ha bisogno di una profonda rinfrescata, in particolar modo la moquette delle parti comuni. Anche alcuni parti del bagno hanno bisogno di manutenzione

Una notte a Colle Val d’Elsa
Pros:

La posizione strategica e comoda con possibilità di lasciare l’auto nelle vicinanze gratuitamente. La proprietaria molto disponibile ed estroversa.

Cons:

Mi aspettavo onestamente di più dalla colazione risultata poco varia e con prevalenza di alimenti confezionati. Camere piuttosto datate.

Good property with excellent staff at a super price.
Pros:

It is a simple, honest hotel. The receptionist was lovely and the room was a decent size for one and clean. It wasn't in the really historic part of town but offered excellent value for money as a result. The restaurant underneath was super, with lovely food at a good price and excellent service from the manager, whose name was Niccolo I think.

Cons:

For the money, it was excellent.

Pros:

Voor de prijs in verhouding voor wat je krijgt is het een prima hotel als tussenstop of paar dagen zeker. Alhoewel gedateerd zie je nog de grandeur die het ooit had. Personeel zeer flexibel en meedenkend.
