Property condition

It’s not a 4 stars hotel, the only positive is the location as the hotel is steps away from the main cathedral. They didn’t let us check in as advertised at 2pm but we had to wait until 2.30pm. You can leave your luggage with them Babur they don’t have a storage room and they leave them all around reception. They give you a piece of white tape where you can hand write your name and stick it on your luggage. The room is average, in the bathroom the painting from the ceiling was peeling and the bathroom tiles were cracked. There was also a constant noise all the way though the night and the fire alarm light flashing. They advertise a panoramic roof top bar but it’s a small balcony where you seek half of the dome and they have small cans of beers. Disappointing, it should be advertised as 2 stars.

The best location ever. There was even a parking garage by the hotel. Quite pricy but conviniente ($30 a day)

Location was great and views of the Duomo were excellent. Room size was good and the bathroom was good - although the shower over the bath needed fixing to be able to hold the shower head in place, and the bath seals needed re-doing as they leaked and soaked the floor when showering. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the breakfast room was a little under par with food / drink stains on the floor and soiled table cloths not changed after previous diners had used them. Also, at times when the breakfast room was busy there only seemed to be one member of staff who was obviously overworked and was not able to keep up with replenishing food and drink reserves.
