duomo proximitybreakfast varietyhelpful staffideal location
I appreciated the very close proximity to the duomo. It made sightseeing effortless. breakfast offered scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit (a good start to each day). the front desk staff provided assistance, especially with directions. i found the location ideal, with metro access only steps away.
The room i had faced the street, and the trams created a bit of noise. I wish i had brought earplugs.
Service
9/10
the front desk employees were particularly nice and helpful (always a plus in a new city). they seemed genuinely interested in making sure my stay was smooth, answering questions about local attractions and transportation. their attentiveness stood out.
Dining
8/10
the complementary breakfast featured a decent spread, with scrambled eggs, bacon, and a selection of fruits. the breakfast area was small (maybe a bit cramped during peak hours). still, it provided a convenient way to begin each day.
Rooms
9/10
My double room was clean and spacious enough for my needs (though perhaps not luxurious). the bathroom was also a good size. the bed provided comfort. I slept soundly after long days exploring.

The location is really fantastic. i was just a few steps from the duomo. walking around the city center was very convenient. The metro station was close too. this made day trips easy.
the room was small. the furniture seemed old and not carefully selected. the table was too big, so i could not fully open the closet.
