What guests say
Reviews highlight the property’s cleanliness and central location, with spacious rooms in some cases but also very small single rooms with minimal bathrooms. Elevator access is restricted and requires asking the hosts, which some find inconvenient. Water pressure can be an issue, especially with hot water in some rooms. Breakfast is basic, with coffee made in a traditional pot. The hosts are friendly and helpful, but the lack of common areas may make longer stays less comfortable. Overall, it’s a simple, budget-friendly choice especially suited for short stays and travelers seeking practicality.

The owners, especially Donatella, are kind and friendly. Unfortunately, the property, although renovated, has some drawbacks that make it not entirely suitable for medium- to long-term stays. First of all, the single room is really very small, with a tiny bathroom and a hand basin instead of a sink. The water does not always have sufficient pressure and, in the single room, hot water sometimes does not come. The elevator is available on request (the property is on the second floor and operates with a key that is not provided, so you have to contact the owners to use it). Breakfast is basic and the coffee is from the moka pot (this may be a plus for those who like it but a negative for those used to pods or capsules). There are no common areas except the breakfast room, which is open only from 8:30 to 9:30. In short, despite the owners' availability, it may not be suitable for everyone.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Sig. Romano, in merito alla Sua gentile valutazione, per una sola notte di soggiorno..., mi rincresce che non mi abbiate chiesto supporto nel momento del bisogno, intendo acqua con poca pressione e acqua calda, probabilmente avremmo risolto il problema con immediatezza. Per quanto concerne l'ascensore abbiamo spiegato che era in atto un intervento della manutenzione e vi abbiamo comunque evitato di salire/scendere al piano a piedi, La colazione mi dispiace dirlo non è proprio basica, la legge impone di offrire solo prima colazione in busta chiusa ed invece Vi abbiamo servito cappuccino, caffé...anche americano e prima colazione artigianale tracciata di vario genere (torte, crostate, biscotti) e tra l'altro abbiamo soddisfatto l'esigenza di una persona che manifestava intolleranza al lattosio con latte di soia e dolcini senza latte e burro, fette biscottate e briosce...inoltre si evidenzia che in tutte le strutture Vi è un orario in cui viene servita la prima colazione stante il check out che avviene entro le 10. 00/10. 30. In conclusione mi sento di dire che spessissimo ospitiamo vacanzieri per soggiorni lunghi e queste problematiche non sono emerse...probabilmente dipende molto dalla capacità di adattamento di ognuno di noi che quando particolarmente spigolosa dovremmo cercare "soluzione Hotel". N. B. eravate un gruppetto e molti di Voi ci hanno ringraziato facendoci i complimenti. Cordiali saluti Donatella.
