10/10 Excellent
"I would like to sincerely thank the wonderful staff at the hotel—Nino, Yassir, Maurizio, Antonio, Carmelo, Canneline, and Kusheu—for making our stay so enjoyable. Every one of them was friendly, professional, and attentive, providing exceptional service from the moment we arrived until we checked out. They truly made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The breakfast was outstanding every morning. There was an impressive selection of both continental and hot breakfast items, with something for everyone. The buffet included a wide variety of cold cuts, cheeses, fresh salads, eggs, bacon, sausages, Italian pastries and desserts, breads, fresh fruit, coffee, and much more. Everything was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. It was one of the highlights of our stay. The hotel's location is excellent and makes it easy to explore the surrounding area. Parking is provided through a third-party service and is included in the cost of the hotel, which was very convenient. The air conditioning worked well during our stay in July 2026, especially when it was left running continuously, which helped keep the room comfortable during the warm summer weather. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for outstanding service, an excellent breakfast, and a great location. We would not hesitate to stay here again. "
