Views200Strength
A view of the Altare della Patria...
Google, April 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Some of the nicer views happened to be from parts of the terrace that were not designated for the breakfast area, which seemed like a missed opportunity to capitalize on the nice location.

The breakfast on the rooftop is plentiful, but the waiter's extremely bad mood ruins the atmosphere; you really need to speak Italian, otherwise things get complicated...

The hotel needs some work done, the sofas in the entrance hall are worn out ,and the terrace where we had breakfast,and becomes a bar in the evening, also needs a refit.

but there's noise until late at night...
Google, April 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The only downside was some constant noise, possibly from a restaurant vent humming throughout the day, which made it a bit uncomfortable.
Booking network, October 2025, rated 9/10 by this guest
The windows were so thin, and lots of noise from the outside was coming in, especially early in the mornings when the garbages were beeing collected

Something stolen1 of 240 reviews
It was terrible, they robbed me right in my room and opened it with an electronic key, and the staff did nothing after I reported it, they said they didn’t know and to call the police, they could have at least offered a compliment, they came to the room, things were scattered and they stole money.
