Staff was friendly and they helped most of the time with questions about the city. Breakfast was good, with some fruit and healthy options that you don't usually see in these hotels
I am not picky when it comes to hotels, as I've been travelling my whole life and stayed in hostel all around the world. When you book a hotel like this, you expect certain quality when it comes to services and your room. The second bed for the third person is a sofa bed, and it's simply impossible to sleep in those. I know this first hand because that is the one I own... and never use. It is a thin uncomfortable mat, not a mattress. The blinds were broken, almost falling from the ceiling; the shower was not properly working and the bathroom was full of water after using it. They are renovating the hotel (necessary at this point) but this meant they were working during the day, starting at 9am. Impossible to sleep, to take a nap or even to relax. We were getting readu for the day and they cut the energy from our room because of the renovation, which meant we couldn't use any of the plugs. We asked and this was fixed, but it's not what you expect from a hotel like this. If you are renovating a small hotel like this one, you better close it till you finish. The whole hotel was filled with furniture from other rooms, dust and people constantly working (builders, electricians...). The whole stay was very dissapointing.

Clean and comfortable with friendly kitchen staff. We were out all day and only met the front desk person for 5 minutes. The front desk staff hours are very limited.

The room was just clean & fabulous, big comfottable bed, good size bathroom. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was really friendly and kind. I had to leave early the following morning and they packed me breakfast for my journey.
Location is ok, not that far away from the city center but need to take a bus to the city center.

Very convenient location and has a very adequate continental breakfast. We were leaving early on our last day, and they even prepared a brown bag breakfast for us to take with us. The staff were very helpful assisting with our bags up and down the stairs. If you want an excellent meal for dinner, try Isola around the corner.
I did not appreciate receiving an email the night before our stay advising that our original room was not available due to some renovation work being done. They did offer us another room or a refund. At this short notice, our only option was to accept the other room. It was compretable, and I'm glad we had our stay as we loved the property. It was very clean and had a bright bathroom with a great shower. I would suggest they add another garbage can in the room instead of the one tiny flip top one in the bathroom.

Once renovated it will be great. Fab breakfast, garden and lounge. Alessio was very helpful and very friendly. A credit to the hotel
Our room was not quite finished and you need to do a thorough dust clean after decorating. Change the lamp shade they are dirty

Pleasant
Clean and modern, staff were helpful esp the breakfast lady
Only after paying we’re told of mild construction work, water was turned off at 10am one morning which meant we had to rush breakfast but the most frustrating part was our ground floor room was refreshed and we returned back later that night to find the window wide open and our possessions at risk of theft. Very disappointing, checked our late and paid £25 charge begrudgingly

The hotel was very nice, very picturesque. The style and decoration made us feel like we truly were at a boutique hotel.
The breakfast was too basic, would have love to have more variety and "hot" options like, scrambled eggs, sausages or even pancakes.
