I had a good stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location and friendly staff. The rooms were small but clean and had a lovely view of the gorge. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, particularly with the poor breakfast options. Overall, it was good value for money, but the breakfast could definitely improve.

The hotel has a unique charm with rooms that are beautifully furnished, featuring period furniture and a fantastic view of the gorge and the Sassi. However, the dining options leave a lot to be desired, with poor quality breakfast items like canned orange juice. The location is perfect for exploring the historical sites, but the noise from the main street can be bothersome. Overall, it offers good value for money, but a few improvements in dining would enhance the experience.

The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of the historic center. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially with the limited breakfast options.

The hotel offers a stunning view of the church from the rooms and is decorated with lovely shutters, adding to its charm. While the staff is friendly and provided great advice on local attractions, the dining experience was quite disappointing due to canned orange juice at breakfast. The location is unbeatable, right at the entrance to the Sassi and close to many restaurants and bars, making it a convenient choice for exploring the area. However, the room furnishings felt a bit old-fashioned and could use an update.
