Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Pros: Location, location, location! 10 minute walk from train station. 5 minute walk to the duomo, shopping, and alot of good restaurants. 1 minute walk three doors down to one of the best restaurants, which happens to be the provider of the included breakfast, with friendly service, a fantastic breakfast buffet, and excellent coffee! Beds were comfy, linens were clean and replaced daily, room was old, but clean and quiet.
Cons: Initial reception was confusing. Roof top patio could be a great ammenity if it was better furnished and lit properly at night. Cool view of neighbor dome though.
Definitely call ahead to set up your arrival. There is no reception desk inside the front door. Just an empty corridor and a musty old stairway leading up to the reception desk on the third floor that has limited in-person reception hours. Our receptionist was very friendly, helpful, and spoke fluent English. Call ahead for an access code for the elevator. It is a tiny, two person elevator accessed by a door on the street, two doors to the left of the main entry door.
Overall, just accept the musty old vibe of the place because the building has been there for hundreds of years. It's an amazingly quiet respit at night given its convenient location to all the action. Would definitely stay there again!
