The breakfast included typical italian food and fruits. The reception people were attentive. I will book this hotel again. The room was clean and big. There was fresh pastry and a coffee machine.

The building seem very old and noise. The road have ongoing reconstruction and it make it even more noisy. Pictures of the suite look better than reality.
