    Great location, good size room, clean!, nice bathroom and shower! The mini fridge was stocked & free (including wine and beer) and they refilled the water bottles in there when we ran out. We would stay here again!

    The location is top-notch, a short walk from the Duomo and a stone’s throw from the Mercato Centrale. The free drinks in the minibar were a blessing, and the cafeteria-style breakfast was also great. I would definitely stay here again if I am in...
