A functional and well managed hotel which is centrally situated for the town, near bus and train station. We arrived during a heatwave which was uncomfortable as the guest rooms had no air conditioning.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to give us your opinion on your last stay at the HOTEL illuster. What else could we have done for you so that your stay would correspond to a 5-star feedback? We know that it has been very hot during your stay and we tried to manage the heatwave as best as we could by shutting down the windows and using the black out curtains. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best regards Emanuele Cosomati - Hotel Manager

Das Personal ist sehr anonym unterwegs und macht seine Arbeit. Die Seele und ein motiviertes Lächeln fehlt etwas in diesem Haus, wenn man nicht beruflich unterwegs ist.
