4 day break
The hotel claims to be the oldest in Italy and although that has it's charm the facilities do show their age.
The wi-fi was very good as was the location, being close to the shops, bars & restaurants and only a 15min walk from the station and to the tower.
The staff are excellent and always helpful.
The continental breakfast was ample to start the day.

Step back in time in this friendly hotel.
Fantastic location, close to main points of interest. Tower maybe 15mins and restaurants, churches, shops all close by. Try the Bombolini in Piazza Garibaldi ;). Hotel was very friendly and an interesting/ characterful environment. Staff were all great and breakfast was good. We had a river view room which had plenty of space and a lovely outlook.

Great location - nostalgic hotel aka very old
Lovely old hotel really lovely place to stay the only issue we had was the noise and lack of cold water in the shower - breakfast was great - bathrooms were very old but as was the hotel so all in keeping. Staff were really friendly and great location. Independent Car Parking was down the road - dodgy looking blokes hanging around cars presumably for money - we didn’t pay them anything and no harm was done to the car - parking is free from 8pm to 8am and pay on easy park app. You can pull up outside hotel to load and unload car. We stayed for two days. Beautiful view of river.

DONT
Staff were friendly the room was poor furniture nearly fell apart when you touch it . You could either have the a/c on or the tv as there’s no sockets for both but this didn’t matter too much as neither worked so you had to keep windows open which meant you got eaten by mosquitoes there was an ally at the side of the room which on a nightly basis was used as a toilet by the 100 or so people that sit on the wall by the river also sat watching multiple drug deals in the same ally and at 03.30 every morning the bottle bins from the restaurants got emptied and at 06.00 am the ally was pressure washed and due to some event going on on day 3 workers were very loudly slamming pieces of metal for some stage they were building until 03.00 in the morning left a day early when the guy at reception asked why we told him he couldn’t care less

Shabby with barely any chic
Stayed 1 night pre flight. Location great however the historic charm of this place in no way outweighs the lack of basic facilities in room 305. The weather was very hot - aircon out of 1970s broken, dusty and obviously non functional, no idea why it was still left in situ gathering cobwebs. Windows do not open. It was stifling and unbearable. Bath stained with years of use, not dirty so much as worn. Shower curtain ancient worn and just clinging on.
The hotel common areas are really interesting and the shabby chic look can be appreciated there but please make the rooms useable! Worst nights sleep ever.
