One block from the train station and the buses that service the airports, in a pleasant residential neighborhood and you walk into a charming, old, world lobby. Three metro stops or a twenty minute walk from the Duomo and main shopping area and of course great restaurants. A decent buffet breakfast to get you started in the morning. A friendly staff who dont mind you leaving your luggage. And the rooms are clean, comfortable and a good size. There are hotels that are are closer to the main attractions, but if you are looking for convience when arriving or leaving the city and are fussy about clean, comfortable rooms, this place will meet your needs.
