Disliked: Staff & service
Staff failed to provide enough information about parking resulting in us being fined, and then couldn't even assist us to pay the fine which was in Italian (we are Australian) - they outright accepted zero responsibility whatsoever and were extremely unhelpful. Would NEVER stay here again. It was appalling and disgusting behaviour from so called service professionals. Very disappointed.
