Reviews and Ratings
I was delighted with the bright and airy rooms, thankful for the larger bathroom, and enjoyed the much better view. The friendly service staff made my stay pleasant, and the location, though slightly removed from downtown, offered a lovely walk with added sightseeing. The dining experience was satisfactory, with fresh options available. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had excellent air conditioning, which was essential given the hot weather, but they were a bit dated. The location, just a lovely 10-minute walk from the center, was convenient, but the distance from the parking lot was a small inconvenience.
My stay at this hotel was lovely. The rooms were cozy with a comfortable bed, and the location was convenient, not far from the center with a tram stop nearby. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and the breakfast was good. However, the room size was slightly smaller than expected.
The hotel had clean and cozy rooms that were spacious with a very comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. The service was friendly, responsive, and customer-oriented. The location was convenient, with easy access to transportation options. However, the dining options were quite minimal and lacked variety.
The hotel's rooms did not meet my expectations for the price paid and seemed a bit tired, not matching the pictures on the website. However, its proximity to The Exhibition center of Fortezza da Basso was convenient.
The hotel's location near The Exhibition center of Fortezza da Basso is convenient for travelers, offering spacious and clean rooms. Although lacking some amenities like shelves and chairs, the rooms are overall big, comfortable, quiet, and clean. The service was helpful and friendly, going the extra mile to assist guests. The location allows easy access to the historic center and train station, though it may be considered slightly outside the bustling activities. The dining experience provides various options and attentive service. Overall, a good value for a pleasant stay.
