Good Place to Stay but bring Bug Spray
Very unique place to stay! The restaurant and the roof top bar are both fantastic! We were there in October and it was pretty nice outside most days and the air conditioning seemed to be turned off for the building. Which wasn't a huge deal as we just opened our balancy doors. This wouldn't have been a huge deal except the mosquitoes. I now have about 20 bites unfortunately which puts a downer on the rest of our trip.

I wasn’t expecting a lot and they didn’t disappoint! This is not a 4 star hotel it’s a 3 at best. We were supposed to get a room upgrade but got downgraded to a dumpy room with no heat and no blankets. The rooms and overall look of the hotel is dingy and ragged. Looks nothing like the pictures. If you have another option I suggest that.

A horrible experience. They haven’t got a clue.
This was probably the worst experience of my 30 year career as a travel photographer. The room still gives me nightmares. No heating or air conditioner. They said it was in between seasons. Had to sleep with the window open and no eye mask, ear plugs or sleeping pill could help to get a decent sleep. No coffee, no tea, no water just 2 miserable plastic cups. A 4 star room that was 1 star at best. I would suggest the manager/ owner see what hoteliers in the 21st century are like. Go to Tokyo, Singapore or Dubai. What a dump of a room. I wouldn’t put my dog up there. Avoid at all costs

Would not recommend. The bed is very uncomfortable, the pillow was flat causing severe neck pain for the next few days. The bed has no comforter only a very rough cold cover. We had mosquitoes buzzing in our ears throughout the night. We were able to kill a few. The bathroom was ok, no complaints about that. Wouldn’t stay here again. The staff were friendly though so one star for that.

This must be the most spartan four star hotel we have stayed at. You get a bed, two towels, two plastic cups. No coffee maker, no water bottles, no extras. You want to charge your phone, you need to pull out a lamp from the socket. You will get old world charm in the form of physical keys to the room that you have to drop off at the desk before you step out or the writing pad next to the phone that doesn’t work. We found out that the city tax assessed in Italy depends on the star rating of the property, higher the rating, higher the tax. That might explain something.

Beautiful Italian Hotel. Our room was done in old Italian style. It had a built in closets (3) plenty of room to hang and store items. The hotel and many outdoor seating areas. There is a lovely rooftop bar/restaurant. Dinner was delicious and the view was wonderful! The front desk will help you with any of your needs. Please note that if you have difficulty with stairs ask for a 1st floor room.

We had a room for 1 night only, room was very comfortable with a great shower, window had shutters which didn’t open very far but we looked out onto another roof so we weren’t too bothered about having the shutters open, fantastic location for bars and transport. Reception staff were very helpful.
