Nice hotel. Staffed front desk. Fluent English. Breakfast is included. I picked it because it is close to the train station. It is about 20-25 minutes walk to the cathedral. Not a lot of dining options.

Terrible staff and living on a construction site

Unfriendly, disrespectful and inattentive staff. No mention of the whole hotel undergoing renovations which caused noise and overall discomfort. You practically had to walk through a construction site to get to your room. We definitely was met with a feeling of contempt because of our young age, despite having paid the same as everyone else for the stay. Would never return…

Ho prenotato a gennaio richiedendo di mettere la moto nel parcheggio.al mio arrivo 5 mesi dopo mi veniva detto che non vi era posto per la mia moto perche pieni.faccio notare che avevo prenotato 5 mesi prima e quindi avrebbbero docuto spostare una macchina .dopo ripetute oarole mi hanno fatto mettere la moto in un posto sporco pieno di cicche di sigarette e escrementi di piccioni.meglio che per strada era comunque al coperto e videosorvegliata.entrando in camera l'abbiamo trovata molto sporca con capelliin terra e alcune cartacce sfuggite forse alle pulizie .abbiamo fatto presente e si somo subito prodigati a pulire. Siamo stati una notte ,nel complesso direi che ci tornero .unica pecca ho dovuto fargli presente che farmi pagare per parcheggio improvvisato mi sembrava esagerato.non per i soldi ma per il disguido.non mi hanno addebitato il costo. Ritornerò sicuramente .gli errori possono succedere vedremo la prossima volta
