–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort could be better — The comfort rating is noticeably lower than other categories, suggesting some guests find the beds or overall comfort less than ideal, even though rooms are clean.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive late in the evening.
- Building shows its age — One review notes the hotel is not a new building, so some facilities may feel dated, though cleanliness is maintained.
- Potential station walk with luggage — While the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the station, one guest recommends allowing 15 minutes when carrying luggage, as the route may not be entirely flat.

9Verified guest“The location and the price were unbeatable.”
9Verified guest“Spacious room, air conditioning, good breakfast, and plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby – easy walking distance to most major sights and markets.”
9Verified guest“Staff were helpful and the room was very clean. We chose this hotel because it was a 10-minute walk from the train station. A lovely family-run place with a friendly atmosphere and great breakfast.”
9Verified guest“The room felt inviting and was fairly quiet, with aircon and a decent bed – I had the best night's sleep. The very obliging staff made a strong impression, and the location was marvellous for getting to Via Faenza easily.”
9Verified guest“The staff were friendly and helped answer our questions, even suggesting some good restaurants and a place to rent a scooter. Although the building isn't new, the room was very clean. It's ideal if your priorities are cleanliness, budget, and location, sitting between the station and tourist spots like Piazza del Duomo and the Statue of David. But expect to allow about 15 minutes to reach the station with luggage.”
9Verified guest“Helpful staff, and within walking distance of the attractions.”
