9Verified guest“Great trip with a group. The location is perfect, right by the main square and historic cathedrals. Staff were friendly, breakfast was excellent. Just remember to book parking in advance as street parking is limited.”
9Verified guest“Lovely views, clean hotel, and rooms that are both beautiful and practical. The staff are exceptionally kind and provide excellent service.”
9Verified guest“Glad I chose the king room – it was air-conditioned and well-equipped.”
9Verified guest“Location, breakfast, room facilities, and decor were all top-notch.”
9Verified guest“The apartment was spectacular, right next to the Plaza Mayor on a lively pedestrian street, but the noise wasn't an issue thanks to perfect soundproofing. The decoration was lovely, the bathroom spacious with a great shower, and the big main bed had a huge flat-screen TV in front of it. The kids' sofa was set up with a duvet and pillows when we arrived. The kitchen-bar was well-equipped with utensils and a comfortable dining table, and the closet was handy for coats. Breakfasts at the main hotel, just 2 minutes away, were incredible – very complete with sweet and savoury options, fruit, sausages, juices, and made-to-order coffee, all served with great care, sometimes by the hotel director himself. Totally recommendable.”
9Verified guest“Rich decor and a prime location next to Piazza Maggiore made exploring effortless. Breakfast was a highlight with freshly baked pastries and a wide selection of gourmet options.”
