My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location is great, close to the Metro and just a short walk to Duomo. The rooms were a bit cramped but clean, and the service was welcoming and helpful. The dining was decent but could have more variety. However, the facilities were well-maintained and convenient.

Arriving at the property at 3 pm after a long journey, the hotel proved to be a decent choice. While the rooms were typical for Europe with tight quarters and a small shower that sometimes flooded due to a faulty shower curtain, the lack of breakfast inclusion upon booking was a downside. However, the staff was kind and nice, offering a warm welcome and helpful information. The location was a mixed bag, being quite far from everything yet conveniently close to downtown sights and the metro station. Dining was basic, and the facilities were standard.
