10/10 Excellent
"This was by far our most favorite hotel amongst all other ones that we stayed at throughout our multi city trip in Italy. It was right in the heart where everything was happening and also a convenient 5 min walk away from the train station, which we felt was a plus given we had a lot of luggage to carry. The hotel was super inviting, clean, doorman helped us bring our suitcases up, and we appreciated the free breakfast as well."
