Categories

Cleanliness
7
Multiple reviews mention 'dirty' and a generally run-down condition of the building; cleanliness is below ideal but not uniformly catastrophic across stays.
Service
8.8
Consistently praised: 'very helpful personal', 'staff were so lovely', 24-hour reception and attentive staff singled out in the positive review; one report of absent staff but overall service is a clear strength.
Location
8.5
Location is central and often called 'ottima' (excellent) but some guests note the surrounding old town is run-down or feels unsafe at night; overall a strong location with caveats.
Room Quality
7
Mixed: one guest describes a 'bellissima' room with two balconies, while others report tiny rooms, loose floor tiles, worn mattresses and uncomfortable beds/showers—overall room quality is uneven.
Amenities
7.5
Some amenities work well (breakfast included, 24h reception) but there are concrete issues: advertised parking is non-existent, AC (or APA) not working in a room and toiletries of poor quality.
Value for Money
8.5
Divergent views: one guest calls the price 'absolutely honest' for the quality and service, while another flags poor value; on balance the property offers good value for many guests.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast is included and noted by some as a plus, but other guests describe the breakfast as poor; overall F&B is acceptable but not a highlight.
Overall Experience
9.2
Mixed-but-often-positive overall: several guests report excellent, attentive service and a very pleasant stay, while others were disappointed by run-down aspects; the best impressions are strong, lifting the overall experience rating.

Sentir a cidade como um residente local.
Pros:

O melhor do hotel é a sua localização no centro histórico. Ao sair do hotel sentimos imediatamente a animação. Os interiores fazem o apelo à história. Poderia ter uma atualização, mas também entendemos que não é facil alterar muita coisa no centro histórico. A adaptação destes locais ao turismo é gradual, nota-se algum esforço dos residentes da área no sentido de aceitar os visitantes estrangeiros, o que é bom. Sentimo-nos sempre seguros. O pessoal é atencioso e simpático.

Cons:

O tema do hotel é apelativo, embora na minha opinião pudesse haver um "refresh" na imagem. Entendo porém que possa não ser muito fácil, os espaços são pequenos e seria um desafio. Para quem gosta de pequenos almoços abundantes, poderá sentir-se um pouco limitado nas escolhas. Para nós funcionou bem.

We cut it short from 6 nights to 2
Pros:

Staff were so lovely

Cons:

Run down. It advertised parking. Parking is non existent and you just use street parking.
APA in room not working, tiles in floor loose. Tiny room with barely enough space to have suitcases

Esperienza perfetta
Pros:

Sono stato in questa struttura per una notte e sono rimasto davvero soddisfatto. La reception è disponibile 24 ore su 24, una comodità fondamentale, soprattutto perché sono arrivato molto tardi (intorno a mezzanotte). Nonostante l'orario, mi hanno fatto il check-in senza alcun problema, con una grande professionalità.
La stanza era bellissima, curata nei minimi dettagli e ben arredata. Un plus inaspettato è stato trovare addirittura due balconi, un'ottima sorpresa!
Il prezzo era assolutamente onesto per la qualità della struttura e del servizio. Inoltre, la colazione era inclusa nel soggiorno, anche se, purtroppo, per motivi personali e di orario non sono riuscito a fruirne. Ho però apprezzato molto che lo staff, sempre gentile e disponibile, mi abbia svegliato all'orario da me richiesto con una chiamata in camera, dimostrando una grande attenzione e professionalità.
Un ringraziamento speciale alla signora Fiorenza, la titolare dell'hotel: una persona incredibilmente gentile e attenta. Mi ha supportato anche in un problema personale, dimostrando una disponibilità che ha superato le mie aspettative.
Consiglio assolutamente questa struttura, che mi ha offerto un soggiorno davvero piacevole. Ci tornerò sicuramente sperando in vacanza!

Carino ma letto scomodo.
Pros:

Camera, posizione , staff.

Cons:

Materasso
Usurato e il letto matrimoniale in realtà erano due letti singoli (nemmeno legati tra loro) che si aprivano in due!!! Frustante!!!

Molto deludente
Pros:

Direi nulla. La posizione è ottima però bisogna attraversare la città vecchia: di sera da brividi.

Cons:

Colazione pessima. Cosi come i prodotti da bagno. Personale assente. Pessimo anche il rapporto qualità prezzo. Doccia scomoda.

Pros:

Colazione normale, piccolo buffet ma per me piu’ che sufficiente

Cons:

Valorizzerei La terrazza, poiche’ ha una Bella vista, che fare e da contrasto alla zona del Borgo Antico che e’ un cantiere
