10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful staff, great service. Nothing was too much trouble, particularly from the housekeeping staff. Nice comfortable room, only slight criticism would be that the beds were a little soft for our taste. More so on my partner's side. Good location near the train station and 15 minutes walk to Piazza Maggiore. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
