Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic breakfast — While many find the continental breakfast acceptable, others note it is simple and not extensive.

- Small property — With only 39 rooms, availability can be limited, and the hotel may feel compact.

7.8Verified guest“For a city centre hotel on a budget this hotel is great. It's three minutes' walk from the Duomo. No frills are promised and none delivered. If you are planning to do nothing in the hotel other than sleep, then look no further. Staff were friendly (all except one who had obviously just finished a 'rudeness for receptionists' degree) and spoke English well.”
