"Main hotel reception lovely, hotel location excellent, staff friendly (Simone barman gr8). We had to change rooms as inner room / no window had poor light but reception staff acted promptly and got us a lovely room with windows onto street. Breakfast and rooftop bar across the road so slight inconvenience ..."

Hotel Pendini
"This is the fourth time I have stayed at this hotel and I love it. I was facing the plaza this time and the lady that sings until 1-2 am was off key and kept me up. Someone needs to cut the singers off at midnight. But the hotel is wonderful."
