Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Modest value score — The Value rating sits at 6.8, the lowest of all rated categories, suggesting that some guests feel the price-to-quality ratio could be better.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Basic 2-star facilities — As a 2-star property, there is no parking or on-site restaurant (breakfast is provided, but the dining area is described as a breakfast room). Expect a no-frills stay.
  • Street noise potential — The hotel is on Via Cavour, a central street, and some rooms have balconies. While no reviews mention noise, the central location may bring ambient street sounds.
