I stayed at the Bellettini Hotel for a long weekend in September 2011 with 2 of my friends. I cannot say enough good things about this place. First of all, the price is right - it has all the basic essentials you would need, plus more. Don't let the 2 star rating of this hotel sway your decision - 2 star in Italy is considered quite nice, just without the frills of higher star ratings. I really have nothing bad to say about this hotel (ok, the breakfast is a bit dinky - but it's included, and why eat at the hotel anyway because you're in ITALY after all), but I have tons of great things to highlight:
*FANTASTIC, friendly, helpful staff - I got far better customer service here than in a 5 star hotel i payed triple the money for in london just a few days prior. Front desk attendant was always happy to see us and engaged us in conversation, and happy to give recommendations, make reservations, and even send postcards for us free of charge
*rooms are clean and spacious - pretty basic layout but you have everything you need, plus big bright windows. It was quite hot when I was there and the air conditioning worked perfectly to cool down our room.
*location, location, location! you couldn't ask for a better spot - centrally located within a 2-3 minute walk to the duomo
*free wifi in the lobby - what a plus!
STAY HERE!
