My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room reminded me of my old Chinese university dormitory with some areas being dirty and small, but it was clean overall and spacious with adequate bathroom facilities. The garden terrace added a nice touch, although the furniture was quite old and uncomfortable. The service, while eager to please, was helpful with restaurant suggestions and transportation arrangements. The location was ideal, near the city center and within walking distance of major attractions. The dining experience was good, offering a taste beyond typical Italian breakfasts. However, the room felt a bit crowded at times, and the price could have offered better value for the overall experience.
