I spent a few days solo at this hotel and I only have great things to say about it.. The staffs are cordial, helpful and friendly. They assisted me by doing phone calls to help me with my luggage who stayed behind in Milan.. Great location, I walked everywhere and the tram and buses are right across the street.. The room was spacious, clean and I love having nice windows. The bed was comfy and the pillows were fabulous.. I opted to have breakfast at the hotel and I was pleased with the selection I could choose from.. Seating close to the windows in the eating room I was able to see the activities outside while eating delicious foods.. I highly recommend this hotel and I am confident you will love it as well.. Thank you for making my stay with you a lovely experience..

We stayed in this perfectly well located hotel in a Superior Double Room, just about 15minutes away by foot from Guggenheim museum, for 3 nights. The room was spacious, the bed vey comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The breakfast buffet had a good variety. The location is very good, very close to the metro, trams & buses. Unfortunately as it is located so well it's quite noisy during the night.
