  • Restrictions for pets and drivers — Pets are not allowed, and no parking is listed, so guests with animals or cars need to plan ahead.

“Our group of four teenagers enjoyed the stay. The location made it easy to walk to great food spots, the staff were very helpful with local recommendations, and breakfast was plentiful enough to satisfy even picky eaters.”

8.2Verified guest

“The location is central. Don't miss Bar L'incontro nearby — their coffee was the best I've had. The room was spotless, with WiFi, a private bathroom and a window facing the train station, and breakfast was satisfactory.”

8.2Verified guest

“The king room was exceptional, with windows over the train station and air conditioning. Being near a bus station was a big plus, and a bakery and supermarkets were around the hotel.”

8.2Verified guest

“There are real food finds nearby: fresh baguettes from the local bakery and the creamy gelato at Spoon Gelateria. The shared kitchen was cosy too, with an espresso machine that felt very Italian.”
