The room was quite large. The used towels were replaced daily. The hotel gave two complimentary bottles of water each day.
The sound isolation between rooms was not great.

Charmed by this Hotel!

functional roomgood water pressurecentral locationeasier transport
The hotel provided a very functional room. The bathroom included good water pressure in the shower and several towels. I enjoyed the central location. It made getting around easier.
The hotel charged a city tax. This tax was seven euros per person, per night. I found this charge a bit much.

Classic Comfort Near the Station

classic hoteltrain stationexcellent servicecomfortable beds
I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the train station. Reaching it from the airport via the Marconi Express was straightforward, just a short walk. The staff provided excellent service. Antonio at the front desk demonstrated kindness. The room featured beds that gave the feeling of clouds, ensuring a restful sleep.
I found that the air conditioning was turned off at the end of September. The room temperature reached 27 degrees, which I found uncomfortable. I was informed it is common in this part of Italy.
