We have stayed in this hotel with 3 couples and it was not our first choice - we have booked hotel Michelangelo in June but a week before our departure our reservation was cancelled (!).

All in all the hotel appeared just fine. Although at the first sight the standard seemed disappointing for a 4 star hotel (we have booked the superior rooms which would assure better standard to basic) - the service was excellent. Cristina - the manager- made sure our stay was very pleasant.

The rooms were basic but clean. The pool in a centre of the town was a relief on some really hot days in August.

The breakfasts were OK- a bit limited choice for those who don't eat sweet in the morning. Excellent fresh made coffee though. The dinners were delicious and the staff were very flexible offering some vegetarian meals outside the menu.

The parking is small but there is a possibility to park jut outside the hotel for 3 euro per day.

Big thumbs up for the staff who made up for a bit disappointing standard of the rooms. Price was surely very attractive and hotel was located just in a centre of the town - excellent for going out/ shopping.

Fittness center was very small and not very clean. As for spa- I have ordered pedicure and manicure but was disappointed and made further no use of these services.

Unfriendly. Extremely extremely small bathroom with NO amenities or anywhere to park your toothbrush, toilet roll stuffed into radiator - no holder. Towels changed every 3 days. Mattress 6 inches thick. Aircconditioning at owner's whim. The only one happy at the end of the stay is the owner because he has your money. GOODLUCK

I think the hotel is living on past history. We had stayed here many years ago and re-visited this Summer. The hotel is rated as a 4-star hotel...not close. Lobby is not inviting with a mixture of old, dated furniture with an attempt to be modern - an attempt that fails. Rooms are clean and overall ok. Hotel is VERY DATED and needs a complete renovation. Breakfast is served downstairs in a dimly lit basement- our table had paper placemats- when the prior guests finished, the server came over, and instead of replacing the mats with new ones, simply turned them over for us! Table was wobbly and should be replaced. Many of the guests were elderly and my sense is that they have been coming back for years, remembering the hotel's past glory. We will not return.

We were very disappointed during our recent stay at this hotel- The pictures on their web-site are very misleading- While our room was clean and quiet, the lobby and overall areas of the hotel need a major remodeling- the hotel staff at the front desk were not friendly. At breakfast in the morning, the waiter failed to place a clean paper placemat at our table, instead turning over the used ones from the previous persons that had sat at the table before us!! Certainly not what one would expect from any hotel, let alone one that is a rated a four star- This hotel should be rated two stars at best!
