We had a nice stay at this property. Breakfast was excellent, and our room was spacious for two adults and two grown kids. While the room was clean and tidy, it was a bit dated and required some renovation. The location was two tram stops from the SMN train station (about 1.70 Euro/ticket). There were a few restaurants and a laundry place within walking distance. The property has parking on site (20 Euro/night), yet there is also a free overnight public parking lot outside of the property (free 8pm-8am, 2 Euro/hr thereafter).

We stayed here for a week, and it was a wonderful visit. We loved how convenient it was to the trams, and how close it was to the sites such as Duomo, David, etc. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, and the staff was wonderful, especially Raphael. He showed us how to get to our destination using the trams. Once he explained how it worked, we became more self-sufficient. The unexpected bonus was the amazing breakfast. It is a great value and we highly recommend it.

Old and dated properties. Our room had visible mold at the wall corner and below the windows. This hotel needs serious updating. The hotel is about 30 mins to center of everything to see! The breakfast was Ok. Nothing special that you can not get at any other hotels.

Front desk staff is pleasant and helpful but this property is tired and in need of updating. Poor internet connection and no climate control in the room (A/C blowing warm air) made sleeping very uncomfortable. Beds are hard and low to the ground- bathrooms are dark and dank. Common space furniture is old and unwelcoming. Breakfast is the best thing offered here- plenty of variety and breakfast room was bright and cheery.

Pictures are totally misleading

This hotel was extremely disappointing compared to the pictures on the website. The rooms on the website look fabulous and our room was anything but. It was very plain and small with two very small hard beds and pillows, on the first floor. The bathroom was also tiny, looked like it was from the 70s, the shower was cramped and the sink was slow to drain. All in all not a terrible stay, but we felt completely cheated and lied to, and paid more than we would have if we had known the actual condition.
Our room. Tiny and totally plain. No closet to speak of and zero dresser or drawers.
Our bathroom. You had to get in the shower and get wet to turn it on.
