Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very clean and spacious room and clean bathroom, Very quiet and a 30minute walk from the main train station and most of the the attractions in the city. There was a nice continental breakfast too and the room was made available early for checking in as we had arrived earlier than expected. There were a number of restaurants and cafes nearby
Best Staff experience in Italy. Extremely helpfull and friendly. I felt like I was home.
I loved the balcony view. It was like be at my backyard at home. Absolutely loved it.
The balcony view is amazing.... Totally worth it the inner garden with lemon trees and a big cypress on the adjacent property the balcony has a roll up tent. Also a cute ginger cat!

There is nothing to say except the hotel is not bad at all
The staff were super friendly and helpful from helping me get my luggage to my room to recommending me places to visit and eat.
Thank you so much for having me stay with you guys.
I look forward to returning
The owner/staff went above and beyond waiting for us till after midnight because of our delayed flight. They were kind and being a 5 minute walk to the train station was perfect!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was amazing. The room is basic. The shower had mildew but was clean. Breakfast was Quality Inn continental basic.
The property suited our needs for a few nights. The breakfast included was a nice touch with great espresso. However the staff was not the friendliest.
The host was very nice. They recommend some great restaurants nearby and they even fixed the wifi after I mentioned that the connection in my room was bad.
Very bad experience, no elevator, had to lift 50 Lb bags to 2nd floor, requested to help rudely said no , no coffee maker hot water kettle in room and lots of mosquitoes
Nice and clean hotel. Our room had a balcony with a pretty view. Staff speaks some English and Spanish, they are all very polite and helpful. Location is okay and safe but you will need to take a taxi to train terminal or downtown to the touristic attractions ($15-20 euros) Good breakfast too. Overall recommend.
