Quiet at night912Split
Even though I wore earplugs the streetcleaner car felt like it was cleaning my brain directly for an hour in the night and the disco party in a near street on Sunday night felt like the dancing was done in my bed.

The hotel is in a great location, impeccably clean, but the rooms lack soundproofing, are small, and dated.

Room sizecomplaints falling: 17.8 in 100 a year ago, 9.3 now618Weak spot
I felt the room was quite small and the door knob was placed really close to the edge of the door so it was difficult to close it from inside the room.

The rooms are a bit small, but ideal for short stays.

Room conditioncomplaints falling: 15.6 in 100 a year ago, 7.4 now015Weak spot
The shared areas, such as the reception, staircase, lift, and breakfast room, are somewhat worn and outdated, so the hotel doesn’t quite have the feel of a proper one.
Booking network, November 2025, rated 7/10 by this guest
1) hotel facilities are VERY basic, its clean but very tired look
Booking network, April 2026, rated 6/10 by this guest
The rooms are quite small and dark, requiring renovation, but they're adequate for a few days for those planning to do more sightseeing than staying in their rooms.
Google, April 2025, rated 5/5 by this guest

Despite knowing this the hotel made no effort to assist or alert people before arriving to the hotel, leaving us without any accommodation.

The hotel cancelled my reservation 24 hours before my trip to Rome, claiming it was due to credit card problems, two months after I booked.
