Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location is a bit far from the center — The hotel sits in Campo Di Marte, not the historic core. Guests note the need for a bus or taxi to reach the main sights, though the bus ride is about 15 minutes.
- Inconsistent staff experience — While most reviews praise the staff, one guest noted that a few employees were less impressive, indicating occasional inconsistency in service.
- Mixed guest ratings — With an overall rating of 7.9 and individual reviews ranging from 5.4 to 10, experiences can vary. The 'Value' category scores lower at 7.5.
- Limited room variety — The economy rooms are compact, and some travelers may find the single rooms small for longer stays.
