Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed value for money — The price and service category scores lowest at 6/10, and some travellers may find the cost high for a 3-star, though reviews often call it good value.
- Breakfast can be basic — While many guests enjoy the variety, one called it 'acceptable for southern Europe', implying it's not exceptional.
- Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you arrive later than 11:30 pm, you may need to arrange alternative access, despite the 24-hour reception.
- Limited soundproofing in some rooms — Guests who received an upgrade noted the suite was quiet, implying standard rooms may face street noise due to the central location.

8.3Verified guest“The breakfast had a good range of choices, which made our stay better.”
8.3Verified guest“The staff were kind and always ready to assist. The hotel was spotless and breakfast was good. We'd definitely recommend it. Try the trattoria Mariposa about 50 metres away on the same street; the staff recommended it. Not fancy but authentic Italian home cooking by a mother and son, at good prices.”
8.3Verified guest“Perfect location, about halfway between the train station and the town centre. Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Excellent value – I'd stay again.”
8.3Verified guest“The location is superb, a short walk to explore the city. The room was spacious and clean with a large bathroom and lots of storage. The 24-hour reception was a lifesaver when our bus was late. Having drinkable water in the room was a nice touch. Helpful staff made everything easy.”
