Not even a 3 star
Pros:

Hotel stuck in the 60s and not in a good way. Bathroon is extremely small with mould around the bathtub, soap dispensers were empty. A/c system is first generation. Furniture is just old, not antique. One wall had what looked like mould and they tried to cover it with a piece of furniture

Très bon emplacement pour découvrir la vîlle
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est parfait pour nous qui arrivions en train, il se trouve dans une rue qui permet d'accéder à pied aux principales attractions de la ville. L'hôtel a un rooftop avec une vue magnifique sur le Duomo. Enfin, nous avions une chambre pour 4 et nous avions beaucoup de place, et c'était propre.
Enfin, le personnel de l'hôtel est très accueillant et très sympathique, merci à eux.

Cons:

Les équipements de la chambre pourraient être améliorés, elle est un peu vieillote. Il n'y a pas de machine à café ou théière.
