I think you could get a better room for the rates charged. Very basic rooms, staff seems friendly at first but shifts to being unhelpful
This does not look anything like the photos. Beware. We felt completely scammed by expedias description and rating of the place and unfortunately are continuing to experience this in Italy. Do not recommend at all

Great bathroom. Room was a bit tight as is in many hotels in Europe.
Hotel very close to the train station steps from the market and minutes from the tourist spots many options to eat and drink.

Location was perfect - easy 8min walk to/from train station and walkable to all sightseeing spots. Breakfast was great; staff was super friendly and helpful. Good wifi, near market and food, always felt safe. Its quite loud at night but the location itself was well worth it. Would stay again.

Staff (both reception and housekeeping) were very friendly and helpful. Hotel’s location was great. The mattresses were awful, however, and it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The noise of the plumbing and the other guests was clearly audible. There were a few minor issues with the safe and the shower leaking.
The hotel is very nice, it’s decorated with antiques. Our only complaint was there weren’t proper plugs for us to charge our phones. It wasn’t until our final day that I discovered plugs for our chargers .
This hotel was convenient, clean, with excellent staff. The hotel had comfortable beds with good linens and good air conditioning. Daisy ran the breakfast area with a positive attitude ready to greet you with a smile.
Great booking, extremely clean, front desk is very helpful and accommodating. Very central to the historic district. It’s a little noisy at night, but I highly recommend this hotel.
