I booked this hotel for convenience, and have stayed one other time. The breakfast was good. I’d have eaten there for dinner if you had any decent vegetarian options with proteins.

The hotel is very convenient for travellers as it is very close to the station. The ‘Centro storico’ is all within walking distance. We didn’t like the coffee at breakfast. The coffee from the machine was bitter/unpleasant. There is an option to ask the staff to make you a fresh coffee but this didn’t taste much better: I very much doubt it was made with a proper machine.
