We stayed here for a week this Autumn. I'd read the reviews etc., but was still pleasantly surprised at the facilities of our "room". The room itself was actually a bedroom, a bathroom and a dining/kitchen/sitting room - all very roomy, and fully equipped. This was a fantastic bonus as the breakfast in B&B was not on the premises but in a cafe over the road. We just bought breakfast goodies at the supermarket and breakfasted at our leisure at "home". Never had breakfast in the cafe, but apparently it's coffee and a croissant between 9 and 10am (don't quote me on times)...however it's a very nice cafe with lots of outdoor seating and a great people watching position opposite the Castelvecchio. Shame the voucher wasn't valid all day, it would be nice to flop for a free coffee after tramping around all day. The room had masses of storage space and hangers, full size fridge and hob, small washing machine, pots and pans, cutlery and crockery in abundance and a telly in each room (Italian TV) plus a cd player as well.
The staff had excellent English and were really helpful and friendly.
The position of the hotel is fantastic, right opposite Castelvecchio, a short walk to Piazza Bra etc. and near bus stops and cafes and restaurants galore.
The hotel furnishings were pretty old-fashioned but functional, this is NOT a designer chic boutique hotel, but very clean and everything works!!
A tip for getting to hotel from shuttle bus stop at station. Buy a bus ticket at the Tabac just inside the station and cross into the bus station, almost all the buses go past Castelvecchio, but if you go to stance D the 21, 22, & 23 are very frequent, just get off when you see Castelvecchio (you really can't miss it!!). Turn back from bus stop, a few yards up the street you'll see a red painted building, that's your hotel..the entrance is round the side.
Tip 2...somebody said their room was noisy, ours overlooked the internal courtyard and was so silent we doubted the presence of any other guests, and couldn't hear ANY traffic at all.
