    Property is very old and in need of some maintenance, but cost and location make up for this.

    Location was really fantastic with an amazing view out the window.

    Sound proof absolutely doesnt exist, my room was on second floor , and when double window is complitely closed , you can even hear when girl is walkind in high heels , and specialty noisy of people and musicans . For me its not a big deal , but its not recommended for a people who has difficulties with sleeping.

    Gorgeous location , you can see Duomo from window , most thing you can explore by foot.

    The beds were firmer than our preference. I wish the showers had some sort of shelves or tray to put soap on. Multiple floors up via stairs or small one person elevator makes it more challenging if traveling with lots of luggage.

    The location is perfect. Easy walking distance and central to all the main sights, from Bobili Garden to the Academia Museum. Staff was friendly and it was clean and safe.

    Because of its’ location (by the il duomo) it can get a bit loud at night. This could be solved with new windows that would isolate the city sounds better. It was pretty clean, but we found an old soap on the floor of the shower with hair on it upon arrival. This could indicate that the shower wasn’t cleaned properly.

    The location was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The view was amazing.

    We had the premium corner room (6) with private (but external) bathroom. The view was right onto the Duomo. You can't get any closer to the action. Room had a super high ceiling and great open floor space. Having the private bath was a great bonus, as we didn't have to wait for others during shower/restroom break peak times. Self check-in was great, with clear instructions, and, of course, very convenient.

    Nothing. No facilities as such like breakfast, kettle, if that’s what you want, made no difference to us.

    Location on Duomo couldn’t be faulted, a walk from everything. Located in a Beautiful historical 16th palace, the building was lovely! Great big room (6), fresco on ceiling, bed so comfortable. And table and chairs so we could come back from city sightseeing during day to have a little supermarket lunch in room. Felt very lucky to be able to stay here. Fan provided, appreciated.

    There was a lack of presence from the hotel staff, and for this reason we weren’t able to check-out of the hotel formally. I only had one encounter with a receptionist on our second day to check-in. Our short stay was almost entirely self-serviced. This wasn’t necessarily a problem for us, but I can imagine how it might be a struggle for others, especially if one had any queries or complaints for the hotel staff.

    In terms of location you will not find a better hotel for such an affordable price. We also found the beds to be very comfortable and the overall cleanliness of the hotel stood out to us.

    There was only one fan in a large room which wasn't really enough. We got a second one though but we had to ask for it. There is a very tiny elevator that only fits one person with a luggage; so if you have multiple luggage and they are heavy, or you are with small kids and trollies, it's going to be difficult. There is no washing liquid in the toilets, but there are small soap that you need to crack open every time. There is no WiFi in the rooms, only in common areas. In our room we had quite bad signal so we could not use internet properly. Also there is no kitchen and not sure if the water there was drinkable.

    The location was great as we were close to every sightseeing there was.

    This hotel is in an amazing location. It had a tiny lift which was good so you didn't have to carry suitcases up. We were happy with our room in this very old building. Just something to be aware of - the lift stops on the 3rd step from the landing so it can be a bit awkward getting out or getting your luggage out.

    Old building with a lot of charm, an old wooden floor. I like that the description before the booking was very accurate and we got exactly what was described. Old room with a private bathroom outside the room. All very clean
