Not recommended Trip type: Family "uncomfortable"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 6, 2009

The hotel is 2 flights up a very dark stair way the room was so small there was barely enough room to walk around the bed the bathroom was so small you could sit down and brush your teeth if you know what I mean. I was very disappointed when we arrived. I was so looking forward to staying there after looking at the photos on the website. it looks nothing like the pictures and the location is not close to the main town at all. sorry to be so harsh it was just disappointing we traveled for 15 days and this is the only hotel I would not recommend.

Recommended Trip type: Romance "Exceeded Expectations: Great Neighorhood and Owners"

Reviewed by Monique of Los Angeles on Dec 2, 2008

I was not expecting to find such a room at such a great value. We were greeted by the owner when we arrived. He and his wife assisted us in getting parked and unloaded are large amount of luggage after a long trip through Tuscany. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Be advised that if arriving by car that you must provide your plate numbers to the owner upon arrival as the neighborhood is in an area for restricted/neighorhood traffic only. Not a problem though. The location is great. Across from the Maggio Theatre and US Consulate. The neighborhood was clean and it felt very safe (residential/retail) and not touristy but within walking distance to everything. Another plus was that the Bed and Breakfast includes free Wi-Fi. The owner speaks excellent English and was happy to assist us with any questions we had and recommendations. After a 14 day trip and staying at several bed and breakfasts it was one of my best B and B experiences. The rooms was a good size (for Italy standard) and comfortable. Best of all it was quite and clean. The shower was also good. Their is TV in the room but the only channel in English was MTV. Not to worry though as it is enjoyable watching Italian TV. Thankfully, the breakfast was served every morning and we were greeted by the helpful staff and after a long day of walking to a clean and comfortable room with nice linens that was warm in the winter in the evening. Upon departure we were helped again by the owner in ordering a cab. We would stay their again and plan on doing so on our next trip.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Zentral sauber freundlich günstig"

Reviewed by C of Augsburg on Sep 24, 2009

Waren für zwei Nächte dort. Das Hotel ist zentral, gegenüber der Oper. Parken ist dort schwierig - nur auf einem öffentlichen Parkplatz ca. fünfhundert Meter Entfernung möglich. Zu Fuß ist von dort alles super erreichbar. Das Hotel ist in einem Wohnhaus untergebracht und umfasst nur wenig Zimmer. Würde dort auf jeden Fall wider einchecken.
