Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Check-in is limited to 15:00–20:00 — If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to make special arrangements – the property offers express check-in but only within the stated window.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Street noise possible — Located on Via XX Settembre in a busy central district, some guests may notice street sounds, though soundproofed rooms are available.
  • Value rating lower than room/service scores — While rooms and staff rate at 9.7, value comes in at 9.4 – still high but slightly lower, suggesting the price is considered fair rather than exceptional.
  • Airport transfer is paid — The property offers a shuttle service, but it comes at an extra cost – not included in the room rate.
