Very happy with our stay. The balcony itself is wonderful, the rooms are clean, quiet and in good overall condition. The location is excellent, close to the train station, the Duomo and the river. The staff are accommodating. Only downsides are that the free wifi is a little spotty but still usable and the included breakfast is nothing to write... More

Extremely sympatic, friendly and helpful stuff. Perfect location: walking distance to the railway station, city center and river side. Lovely terrase with beautiful view. Fare price. The room was clean and quiet and when i found a fumigator at the bedside table my happiness became complete:) I must admit, "Balcony" accompanied our vacation in a perfect way!

Location is the key; close to the train station to check in and then within sight to the Duomo down the road. Owner helped us with the luggage upstairs since there's no lift and suggested some places to visit/eat Bathroom is a bit tight - there's a wall right in front of you if you sit on the toilet (otherwise,...

Based on former reviews I chose Hotel Balcony for 5 nights. And I'll do it again. All places of interest can be reached by foot or by bus (very close to the main station SMN). The personal is outstanding friendly and helpful. My room was very silent, comfortably and clean (daily cleaning). It was a pleasure for me. Alla prossima... More

Stayed here for one night with some friends. The rooms are perfectly acceptable, nothing special but everything worked, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean with a shower that had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful and the hotel just a 5minute stroll from the Duomo. given the location and... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2013. Great location, easy walking distance to attractions and train/bus station. Hotel staff are helpful and room is clean with all necessary amenities. We liked the balcony overlooking the street, a nice place to have a drink (which you can buy for a modest fee) or just to sit outdoors.

We spent a few days in this hotel. Simple and comfortable, clean, very friendly staff, good breakfast included. Great location, minutes from the train station, even less minutes from the Dome. The only thing I would change are the towels. They were made of woven fabric. My grandma used to have those. I much prefer the fluffy towels. I was... More

Good location, clean rooms. The negative was the room's location to the common balcony, a lot of noise to the point we could not sleep (sat night). Advertised with A/C and soundproof rooms. A/C was not on as it was not hot enough staff told me even though we could not sleep with window open due to people smoking and... More

It's not very often that a two star hotels ticks all five boxes, but hotel balcony does! It's a central familiar hotel, with excellent staff and very clean rooms. You will really feel at home, even if the staff is never in your face. The room and bathroom are absolutely clean and quiet. Plus the common balcony gives you a... More
