This is a budget hotel. The decor is very old, and there is wear and tear (my room there was a damp related crack in the wall, but it was dry).
The staff are very friendly and the place is kept very clean, no bugs or nasty surprices. The bed was comfy and there was a shower in my room as well as a TV (cnn was on it, if you like watching the same 2 non news stories every 10 min).
The shared shower rooms and toilets were also clean if a bit rough. The shower curtain in the shared shower was not that clean and ripped.
In the lobby type area you find free net/pc access, which was a huge bonus.
The hotel is on two floors of an apartment building which is usual in italy. There is a lift. The whole place seems very secure.
Breakfast would have cost 5euro and looked ok but not much for your money, there is a bar on the corner just outside and a good bakery on the way into the town.
TIP: Avoid at ALL COSTS the restaurant next door. The food is ok ish but massivly over prices and tiny portions. Turn left out of the hotel, walk up and take the first or second left and there is a kebab shop which does amazing pizza to eat in or take away.
