This is a well-kept, clean, nicely-located property. It is not fancy, very basic and relatively affordable. Expect comfort, staff support, location, decent breakfast- don’t expect luxury. Highly recommend for travelers on a budget.

The room is very basic but clean and modern. The hotel is on a busy street but the windows are well insulated and it was very quiet at night. The breakfast was very good; lots of fresh ingredients and delicious breads. The only thing that would have made the room better would have been softer beds and more than one pillow. Each bed only had a thin, flat pillow which was not enough for us. Great location, though and quiet, efficient A/C. Would stay again.

Our stay at this hotel was amazing. It was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was not worth that much honestly, Most importantly, the front desk staff were wonderful , Haida was very knowledgeable about the area and extremely helpful.The location was very convenient and accessible to everything, especially the to the downtown and. Subway main one , but when you get of the subway, because the street is under the construction you are getting lots for first time. Vet nice to ancc to the coffee 24 hours a day. Oh I have to tell I was in one bedroom with 3 beds in new building just off the main road! When our flight was canceled and Rome was already booked for next day , staff was nice and booked other room but in different building ( which is older ) I am thankful for that Which saved us to not move out from that street to somewhere else but that old building our room was extremely small and uncomfortable,( it was just ok for one night) . Highly recommend staying on new building .

Great location! A 5 minute walk from the train, tram and even bus. Located right in the heart of the center so most things where within walking distance. The hotel itself was fantastic and clean. The rooms weren’t very spacious but it’s perfect for a quick 2/3 day trip. Staff were super friendly and helpful and recommended a great cafe for us to try.
