Starhotels Excelsior

8/10 Good
"Great location - walkable to the city centre, but outside the ZTL, so no special pass required for the car. Parking is available (at a daily charge) BUT the entrance from the street is very tight so wide vehicles/SUVs beware! The hotel is a little tired, with basic over-the-bath shower facilities, and they use those 3-in-a-row-round-pin plug sockets (unlike France and Germany) so make sure you have the correct adapter. Buffet breakfast spread was good - à la carte is charged extra. We would consider staying here again."
