We just left this hotel and on our way to Amalfi I just had to leave this review. This hotel is a 10/10. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff is amazing, the rooms are a good size. You are right in the center and in walking distance to everything. The train station is only steps away. It can’t get better than that. Loved it!
