A very good place. The staff is polite. The Hotel has an average location but using the bus you arive in few minute at the train station. I highly recommended it.

Very good relation with money. Very good place, and very cheap. 15 minutes walk from the center, the staff was great, told us everything we needed to know, and which places to visit. Absolutely recomended!

This place had great character, but the breakfast wasn't so hot (if you care about that) and we had a shower in our room that didn't drain, but the front desk staff were very helpful and gave us great ideas on what to see in the city.

Really large rooms!! that were very clean. Hostel is a bit outside the main city area, but only by 5 minutes. The staff did not speak much English, and the breakfast was horrible, and the bathroom was far from our room, but a very nice place and location that I would recomend to any traveler

We were disappointed because we moved to other accommodation because of the accident at the hotel water. Nevertheless, we saw other tourists, so we think that it rid us!

Oh when we tried to check out and catch our train the guy didn't have change so he had to run down the street.close

It was hard to find by the directions given here. But then, once you get there the hotel is great. They have a beautiful graden and the rooms are neat and clean. Surggestion for a new descriptions how to arrive: Get to Porta al Prato and walk in Viale Fratelli Roselli 500m towards the river....

Staff were friendly. The room was terrible - old dirty floor, power points broken, VERY noisy from traffic, people and music all day and NIGHT. Mosquito problem - you are bitten all night. No water pressure in basin. Will never stay here again. Not worth even 50 Euros a night. Worst hotel we have...

It was a large room that we had and large common shower room, a little bit medieval (I would say) feeling. But the mattresses were a little bit too soft. Not used to it, had a backache after woke up. But overall, the staff is really really sweet and nice... Lovely.

Not really advisable. This hotel was built about 30 or 40 years ago and no investments have been made in it. Not very clean though kind staff. Poor breakfast, old furniture, very unconfortable beds.

Eventhough the hotel is a little far from the downtown, during night is very quite to have rest, and close of Hotel you can find good and cheap restaurants.

the bus stop is just in front of the hostel, which is a very big- old house. The best of it is the price, really cheap and includes breakfast with a very good coffee. the worst, its a bit far from downtown (15 min.walking.
