The property is a bit away from the city center but walkable distance to it. Dining options are minutes away walking. We got upgraded to a suite. The hotel is beautiful. Their breakfast offers a wide range of hot and cold items, including the best coffee and pastries. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it!

Overall a good experience the room was excellent and the bed amazing got a great nights sleep. The buffet breakfast had a large section. Only concern was time taken at front desk to check in and check out. Also the area between the hotel down to train station didn’t feel very safe particularly at night. Would stay here again, beautiful hotel.

The staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The location is very good if, like us, you intend on taking day trips from the nearby train station. Equally it is less than 15 mins walk to the Piazza Maggiore and main tourist attractions. However, the hotel is rather 'tired' in parts and our room was not 4 star. The shower screen seal leaked badly and at least two of the double plug sockets only partly worked!
