Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location is a walk from the centre — The basilica is a 20-minute walk away; the main square takes 20-25 minutes on foot. Not a doorstep location.
- Rooms and cleanliness rated average — The lowest rating category at 7/10, suggesting room quality and housekeeping are fine but not exceptional.
- High-season prices can feel steep — One guest felt the rate was excessive outside the discounted offer, and found the restaurant slightly pricey for the area.
- Some inconsistency in parking cost — Guests report different prices for parking (€15 vs €7.50), so the exact fee may vary by space or time.

8.8Verified guest“The room was neat and contemporary with good lighting; the shower and view across the back were nice. Breakfast included cakes, pastries, eggs, fresh bread slices and fruit.”
8.8Verified guest“The hotel is almost at the edge of the limited-traffic zone, so getting there by car was no problem. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the towers. The underground car park (€15/day) had plenty of space. Quiet area with grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Large, solid hotel with good rooms, daily cleaning and a 24-hour reception. Breakfast was genuinely delicious with a great choice. Dinner at the restaurant was good – about 4/5 – slightly pricey compared to town. If the cost works for you, this is a comfortable pick even for a longer stay.”
8.8Verified guest“A one-night stay was relaxing and clean. The atmosphere felt comfortable, services were excellent, and the food was lovely at a reasonable price.”
8.8Verified guest“The rooftop lounge has amazing views.”
8.8Verified guest“Best price-quality ratio of the trip. Breakfast was the best in Italy from four hotels – eggs, bacon, sausages, muesli, pastries. Paid parking at the hotel was cheaper (€7.50/day) than the covered parking, per reception. The hotel sits behind the ZTL; the central square is a 20-25 minute walk. The rooftop has sunbeds and tables with fantastic old-town views. The room was spacious with a large bathroom.”
8.8Verified guest“Everything worked well.”
