The hotel is very close to the train station. This made my arrival easy. I found a good variety of food during breakfast. It was much appreciated. I got a complimentary drink at happy hour. I liked this extra touch.
The hotel had some outdated facilities, I think. The reception staff mostly spoke Italian. It made getting information difficult. My room faced the street, so it was very noisy during the night.
