Fine city stay

central location helpful staff early breakfast comfortable mattress
I enjoyed location close to the city center. The staff seemed helpful. I had early flight and they provided breakfast to go. The bed has pillow top mattress, it was comfortable.
Supplies like soap weren't always replenished.

The hotel is a short walk from Piazza Maggiore and the Towers. The area is quiet even though the hotel is close to the center. I found a view to Piazza Galileo Galilei from the room.
