The hotel retains much of its original charm in terms of furniture, furnishings, and painting, especially on the ceilings. The rooms varied in size and quality, with some featuring tiny bathrooms while others had their own terrace. The room lacked privacy but made up for it with a great balcony and a spacious bathroom.

My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and opening up to a quiet sun terrace, with comfy beds and good quality linens. The service was very nice and supportive, and the staff got into fun banter with me. The location entirely met my needs and expectations, making it ideal for sightseeing as it's based just on the border of the historic old town. The dining experience was decent, but could be better with more options. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was very nice and clean, but I also suffered from noise from other guests in the hallway, which disrupted my sleep a few times. The room was big enough for all of us, which was a plus.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I got was a bit underwhelming, not like the photos, but the roof terrace had a lovely view. The service was friendly but had some security issues with room access. The location was ideal for exploring the city, with some rooms lacking space. The dining was decent but limited. Overall, a bit of a hit and miss.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms had old paintings on the ceiling, a great bathroom, and were clean with a free minibar and tea. However, they were smaller than expected from the pictures. The air conditioning and satellite TV were convenient, although the room seemed a bit cramped. The wireless worked fine during my stay.

The hotel was well-located within the city walls, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms, although spacious with high ceilings, lacked sufficient storage and were uncarpeted, which could be chilly in colder seasons. The dining options were varied, but some items ran out quickly. The service was exceptional, especially from Chiara, who made our stay much easier.
