English information on website is not correct.

The website in English didn’t show shared bathroom and I found it out on the checking in. Consequently, I’m not happy with the shared bathroom and the staff on the third floor wasn’t so friendly. Also room has no ventilation making me si uncomfortable.

I really enjoyed how easy it was staying at this property. Didn’t have any problems for check in or check out. The property also had many safety precautions. Would stay here again. I would recommend staying here when it’s cold or chilly though so you can open the window and keep the temperature inside comfortable.

If you book a single room you will not have a private bathroom. To get to the shared bathroom I had to walk through the breakfast area, around the corner and down the hall. The whole place is a bit run down, but everything was clean. It's in a convenient location, close to the train station and walkable to the tourist areas.

Disliked: Staff & service
The area was sort of "industrial." I found one very nice restaurant, the Fish Garden, but otherwise sort of a business district. That made the B&B affordable. The B&B did NOT offer breakfast, which was important to me. WHY do they call themselves a B&B? Also the staff person would only communicate with me using WhatsAPP. Experienced travelers know that, but I was a newbie, so the manager could not communicate with me at all. There was no staff there when I arrived, when I awoke in the mornings, or when I returned in the afternoons and evenings. The bathroom was not particularly clean. The bed was comfortable., the AC worked.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When booking, it was unfortunately not quite clear that this room in particular was a room with shared bathroom. The room very small, which did not necessarily bother me. When I pointed out that I was surprised about the shared bathroom, I was only told that I had booked this. I would have been happy if I had been offered a room with my own bathroom. Unfortunately, this did not happen. Also Expedia has, according to the corresponding employee, tried to reach someone from the accommodation to share there someone my wish, all without success. The shared bathroom was very small. When I took a shower on the first day, I noticed that one of the two shower partitions, which must have been made of glass, was very wobbly. This was probably the reason why the said shower partition was missing on the second day. It must have been broken by one of the next people who showered there, because I stepped on a glass panel in the shower. This happened the same way on the following days. Each time I stepped in a small shard. Thank God without that I hurt myself. This does not speak for the fact that there was cleaned accordingly. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS ACCOMMODATION.

Camera pulita dotata di tutto il necessario. Non è insonorizzata quindi senti molto bene cosa accade al di fuori della porta. Bagno molto piccolo per l’uso in comune abbastanza pulito (dipende anche dagli ospiti che lo usano), consiglierei di aggiungere un profumatore o qualcosa del genere perché anche se pulito a volte si sentono odori non piacevolissimi.

Okay if you're in a pinch, close to train station

My husband and I booked this hotel due to having a large amount of luggage and this is about 4-5 blocks from train station on flat ground. The B&B was clean and felt safe in the location. HOWEVER, we were in a room in the lobby (there are two rooms connected to the lobby) and we were woken every day from people checking in and out. Although this is not the B&B's fault, there are Paper thin walls in those two rooms. Also there is no A.C. We opened the window at night for a few hours the first night and were eaten alive by mosquito's worse than ever before (and we're from Hawaii). I even had multiple bites on my ears and was woken multiple times a night from them buzzing around my ears. We had a shared bathroom with another room which was clean. We were also charged a 15Euro fee from needing a late check in due to a train mishap, which i did not see on the website only a 10 euro fee for early check in. I would not stay here again due to mosquitos and lack of sleep from no noise barrier but if i couldn't afford anything else it is a decent option. There is a cafe on the corner. ten-15 minute walk to Duomo. 5-10 min walk to train and bus station.
