Good: Location.Clean.Mini refrigerator was full of water and soda. Negative: It is not a really Hotel. We come at 2 PM. Door was closed. Try to ring , No answer. 1 Hour. we was waiting in the car 3 PM they open the door. give us a key to our room. after 10PM nobody is on the small front desk. Entrance door close. If you have a late flight and come after 10PM ,it is a risk to be on the street before somebody come in the morning. Very hard to find a street parking.But 10 min walk is a parking cost about 12EUR a day. BE CAREFUL : place is located just on the corner of the street with a limited traffic. And my navigation send me to this street. It it a possible that my car was catch on the camera and they send me a ticket, If you come on your car, not a taxi, there is no way to stop by the place and take out your luggage, You have to park (if you lucky) on the corner of the street and carry your stuff 200 feet.

Hotel was good. Very close to shopping and dinning. Easy walk to many sights. We did have someone playing guitar and singing loud right outside room on street every night. Not hotels fault. Security is weak. Room key is skeleton key and WiFi is not secure. There is Lidl very close for water and groceries. Room has fridge.

I like the security. I like that they helped set up tours. I like that it is center City and walking distance to many sights and good shopping. I did not like no carpet in the room. I did not like no view of any kind (kept window closed). I did not like elevator stopped in between floors but I adapted.

Pros - excellent location in the historic centre, comfortable bed, good AC Cons - The triple room is a double bed and a single bed, not the advertised twin bed (and the receptionist wouldn’t even consider discussing it). Very basic hotel with a small room for the price. Elevator only takes you between floors, so you’ll want to avoid this hotel if you’re disabled or injured. Basically does the job for a short stay, but overpriced for the quality that’s provided

Very accommodating service! I arrived late for check-in, but the staff set everything up to make it easy for me to get situated and rest. The reception area is lovely, with frescoes. Centrally located off Via Etnea, a very lively if somewhat chaotic shopping district that runs through the center of the city.

The front room ib the Baroque style is a total selling point. The fact you have to check in by 10pm is a bit harder when on later flights. You need to arrange codes etc. That can be stressful to arrange.

The hotel is classical European. There was air conditioning throughout the suite and both rooms were beautiful. The suite had a small refrigerator with free water and juices. There was no microwave in the room but there are plenty of restaurants in the area. Both rooms had the most beautiful painted ceilings. The shower was small but decent enough. The staff was also very efficient and pleasant. If you are expecting American style hotel rooms with lots of amenities, this hotel is not for you. But if you want a classic Italian style hotel in a centrally located area, give this place a try.
