A Decent Stay Near the Center

great location helpful staff easy directions small room cleanliness issue stale pastry

The hotel is very close to the main attractions. It was a short walk to the Duomo. The staff was very helpful with directions.

The room was quite small (I booked an economy option). The bathroom could have been cleaner. The pastries offered at breakfast seemed a little stale.
