Overall great place to stay
Pros:
1- extremely great and accessible location
2- great and friendly staff, great manager (i made a mistake in my booking and my whole trip shifted one day, they changed my reservation with no cost which happens rarely in Italy)
3- great breakfast
4- reasonable price for what you get
Cons:
1- although they clean the room everyday but still feels very old and messy. It was totally fine for us since hotel is just a place to sleep for us and we dont want to pay too much for hotel. But if you prefer more luxurious places then pick another place
2- the bed was not very comfortable for us, i prefer more firm mattress but this one was very soft and I got back pain
