Rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. It was convenient for walking to all the main attractions nearby. The water pressure in the shower was rough and the bathroom/shower were incredibly small. I smacked my elbows many times in the bathroom.

Can't ask for a better location! You can see the Duomo from the entrance, and is also very close to the main train station. Very lively area, no breakfast on site (I think), but there are so many eating options right nearby.

Simple but Nice Hotel. Aircondition worked perfectly, refrigerator did not get very cold, TV lacked international channels (but then again one does not go on vacation to watch tv :)). Breakfast was very simple, as seems common in Italy. But all in all a Nice simple hotell with very Kind host.
