The facts: Booking was made by phone one day ahead. I paid 140 € for a room of an estimated 15 square meters, plus a 3 sqm bathroom, on the 5th floor (single occupancy, weekend). Since I stayed only on night, I was able to leave my car in front of the hotel for free. A small problem with the safety box was resolved quickly. The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the station, 20 minutes from piazza Castello.
The pros: Friendly, efficient staff who speak English. Well equipped room, parquet floor, mini bar, safety box, TV, couch. Comfortable bedding.
The cons: Street rooms can be a bit noisy at times, but there is phonic isolation. There are 3-star hotels closer to the historic center (the Genova, the Roma) - but they might be more expensive, too.
Conclusion: Good value, would stay there again.
