The room was tiny. No real cup or glass, try to make tea in a melting paper cup. The minimum was supplied. The place was clean and the staff was nice. Too far from the center.
A pleasant, clean and quiet room for a first night in Italy after a long trip from the US. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I was very happy that I could have dinner delivered to my room.
Everything was so clean and I had everything I needed in the room. Hotel staff were nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend to those wanting a quiet, safe, clean place to stay that is 3km outside downtown.
Very friendly and helpful staff who did everything possible to help.
Property clean.
A little out of town centre but well connected by bus.
Would return.

The staff were wonderful, so kind and eager to help. The room had everything we needed and if not then you just need to ask and they will bring it to you.
Room was clean and comfortable. An area in the shower was quite slippery.
Staff are very nice and competent. Food was very good with friendly and accommodating staff. Great value over-all.
Super friendly staff and all of them very helpful, helped with directions to the Ducati museum, which bus to take downtown, selling bus tickets in the lobby and the morning cappuccinos! Very quiet and beds were perfectly firm. Location was very good for our activities and there was a very good restaurant nearby. Since the Ducati factory was closed so we couldn't take that tour we are obviously coming back and will stay here again for sure. Oh yeah, breakfast was very good too!

This hotel is over 3 km away from city center and the train station. We walked the distance and with luggage which was not easy but definitely doable. The area looked sketchy but but maybe it is normal for locals. We used the free bikes to ride to San Luca and then to city center which was cool. Hotel was ok but even triple room felt cramped. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
