L'hote si trova in pieno centro storico, vicina al parcheggio 6. La struttura è molto bella, la nostra camera spaziosa e pulitissima. La sala delle colazioni è stupenda, una vera chicca, la colazione varia e abbondante. Il personale è di una disponibilità e gentilezza unici, ci hanno lasciato la stanza oltre il check out, per esigenze nostre, visto che avevamo dei bambini. Davvero super consigliato !

Das Hotel hat eine super Lage. Das Frühstück ist gut und auch das Ambiente sehr einladend. Das Zimmer ist gross und sauber. Leider sehr sehr ringhörig. Man hörte alles in der Nacht und es war recht kalt. Für eine Nacht völlig okey mehr eher nicht.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel modern eingerichtet in einer geschichtsträchtigen Stadt. Alles ist Tip-Top und sauber. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Es gibt Schinken-Käse und Croissant in verschiedenen Ausführungen. Verschiedene Kuchen. Frische Früchte und Joghurt. Kaffee -Tee -Milch und Säfte. Mehr braucht man wirklich nicht. Personal war an der Rezeption und beim Frühstück Freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir waren vollends zufrieden.

Bra läge i en otroligt fin miljö , med underbar utsikt. Nära till allting , shopping restauranger och sevärdheter. Enda nackdelen är att hotellet har inte egen parkering utan man måste gå en mindre sträcka , men det uppvägdes av det övriga.

Quaint Room in Medieval Old Town

The room was clean and cozy. Our room had a beautiful view of the countryside over red roofs. The best part of the hotel was it’s located among the quaint buildings in the medieval old town. Everything we wanted to see was walking distance. Breakfast and WiFi were free. The lady at the front desk was amazing and very friendly.

A night in San Marino.

This hotel was right in the center of town. It was extremely easy to reach all areas of the town from here. The room was the perfect size for two and the hotel staff was extremely hospitable. We went during a busy time so we had to park about 10-15 minutes away from the hotel and walk up hill. There is parking about 5 minutes from the hotel but we co

Das Hotel liegt zentral in einer der beschaulichen Gassen, Restaurants, Geschäfte und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fussläufig gut erreichbar, kleine Steigungen inbegriffen. Das Superior-Doppelzimmer mit Balkon im Dachgeschoss hat einen beeindruckenden Blick auf San Marino und den Ausläufern der Apennin-Gebirgskette. Einrichtung und Bad neuwertig. Frühstück war ausreichend, auch wenn nicht sonderlich umfangreich. Personal sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. 24h Rezeption. Parkplätze sind 5 Gehminuten entfernt und das Hotel bietet einen eigenen Parkschein an. Einziger Kritikpunkt war der sehr langsame Fahrstuhl.

Sentralt, pent og godt vedlikeholdt hotell.

Sjarmerende, pent og godt vedlikeholdt hotell med svært sentral beliggenhet. Renholdet var godt. Som i de fleste italienske byer, skal du ha sentral beliggenhet kan det bli vanskelig med parkering nært hotellet. Vi hadde flaks og fikk plass 100 meter unna. Anbefales.
