I came to Italy before my friends and stayed here by myself - 2 nights on arrival and 1 night a few weeks later before meeting friends the following day. The room you have makes a difference. At first I had - I think room 6 - which was seriously in need of redecoration (think dark with dirty stains), it had a noisy ceiling fan but no air conditioning and a window opening onto a dark couryard. There were 2 shared bathrooms opposite, but one was out of order. One night, there was an altercation going on at reception, which I could hear - someone - American male by the sounds of it had booked and paid over internet and wanted his room. It sounded like the hotel had given it up when he hadn't arrived at a certain time. This went on for ages, including the American leaving and then coming back. So the walls are seriously thin. When I stayed again a few weeks later for 1 night, I had room 7 (I think) which was on the other side of reception and had a window opening onto the terrace. It was clean, as in it had been renovated, it had an air conditioning machine as well as the ceiling fan, and it was a bit bigger with a handbasin in the corner. Much nicer than my first experience. Same 2 bathrooms to share, but they were both working. On the basis of my first experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, but my second was ok. Shared space - lounge, kitchen and terrace are good. The staff were great. The hotel is close to the main train station, but not too close - ie on a quiet street.
