Cons:

If your goal is to be near the train station this is acceptable. I found the staff to be unwelcoming and the mattress and pillows very uncomfortable. I didn't choose to eat the extra cost breakfast once I saw the cramped room. There are many better choices a few steps away. WiFi was unreliable.

voll zufriedenstellend, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Schönes, klassisches Haus in der Geschäftsstrasse Via Independenza,
Sehr nette Leute am Empfang.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind hellhörig, was eher ungünstig ist, wenn man nicht selbst Nachtschwärmer ist.

Nice place to get some rest
Pros:

The room was efficient and clean. Perfect for my need to get some rest and sleep.

Cons:

The room was quite small and the bathroom was a bit cramped even for me, and I'm not a large person. It was adequate though. The shower was nice and hot and everything was very clean.

If you have any self-respect, stay away from this place
Cons:

The accommodation was nothing like the description. I booked a room with a view and garage parking, but neither was provided. Instead, we stayed in an attic room without even a window.

We were informed about nearby parking facilities that charged extra, even though garage parking was listed as one of the property’s amenities.

The hotel’s common areas were dirty, and the room itself was cold and unclean. The bathroom was also dirty, and the room had only two small bedside lamps as its main source of lighting.

I sent an email regarding the parking situation and the attic room, but I never received a response from anyone.

Overall, the accommodation was completely different from what was advertised, and the experience was extremely disappointing.
