Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a unique ambiance, ideal for guests looking for a different experience. The rooms are spotless and quiet, perfect for a peaceful stay, but may need some enhancements to create a more stylish and inviting atmosphere for breakfast. The location is calm, close to the railway station, and within walking distance of the main town. The dining experience is simple but tasty, with fresh options, making it a standout on any trip. The service is welcoming, with attention to detail such as room service and a delightful welcome drink.
I had a great stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the view of the acqueduct from the room and the comfortable beds. The warmth and coziness of the room made it a pleasant experience, even though it overlooked the street. However, the dining could use some improvement in offering more varied hot vegetable options, although there were gluten-free corn flakes and muffins available.
The hotel had spacious and pretty rooms that were comfortable and clean, though I had to keep the window closed due to road noise. The service was friendly and efficient, and the location was good, just a little bit out of the main town but within easy walking distance. The dining experience was excellent with a modern and clean atmosphere. Overall, a peaceful and affordable stay with minor noise disturbance from the road.
The hotel offers great restaurant choices along the same road a 10-minute walk from the center, with rooms featuring a fantastic shower but lacking isolation. The location is convenient, close to the lake and both train stations, making it handy for travels. Dining options include gluten-free choices but lack hot options.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The service was top-notch, with room service, housekeeping, and a delightful welcome drink. The location couldn't have been better, being close to the lake, train stations, and the city center. The dining experience was quite good, especially with the option of gluten-free choices and fresh-made Italian coffee. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were well-appointed with a fabulous shower and a great bed, but they were a bit noisy due to street sounds when the windows were open. The corridor outside the rooms was well decorated and maintained.
