Quaint Room in Medieval Old Town

The room was clean and cozy. Our room had a beautiful view of the countryside over red roofs. The best part of the hotel was it’s located among the quaint buildings in the medieval old town. Everything we wanted to see was walking distance. Breakfast and WiFi were free. The lady at the front desk was amazing and very friendly.

We went for a balcony room and the view was spectacular! Staff was helpful and breakfast was nice. I definitely recommend staying within the old city walls of San Marino. Its a trip back in time and very quiet once the tour groups leave for the day.

A night in San Marino.

This hotel was right in the center of town. It was extremely easy to reach all areas of the town from here. The room was the perfect size for two and the hotel staff was extremely hospitable. We went during a busy time so we had to park about 10-15 minutes away from the hotel and walk up hill. There is parking about 5 minutes from the hotel but we co

Great hotel and location, be prepared for hills

We stayed for three nights. Very nice location, close to all the major sites! Be prepared to carry/pull luggage up steep hills to get from the bus to the hotel. The streets of the town are all uphill/downhill and cobblestone or paved. Once you get there, the hotel is very accommodating and has great views!

Great location but no wifi in the room

Location is excellent right in the main square but the room is extremely small and does not have wifi in the room! I didn't pay attention about the wifi when I booked; I would think every hotel nowadays have wifi! Breakfast was all cold items and limited choices. There's no fridge in the room but the staff is friendly to give you ice if you asked.
