    Immaculately clean hotel, efficient staff, a nice size room. The rooms with high ceiling. Unbelievably good location with public parking nearby. Found in a shopping area. 700 ft from Stesicoro station. What a very enjoyable stay, nothing to complain about.

    Booked a room with jacuzzi. The location was very central, very close to the Airport bus stop and right in front of the Alibus station.

    Marvellous location for our visit to a comical statue relatively near the hotel. Only 5 minutes walking to downtown.

    What an incredible stay! The room was mind-blowing with tall walls and a jaw-dropping ceiling that was a piece of art. The whole room had a royal and vintage vibe which was absolutely stunning. The location was super convenient and the WiFi worked perfectly. The flat-screen TV was a bonus and the lift made getting around easy. I also appreciated that they didn't allow pets and had no smoking on site. The air-conditioning kept me nice and cool and the paid airport shuttle was a great convenience. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Location: the hotel was near to the bus stop for the airport and the Festival of Saint Agatha and the airport shuttle. Centro storico district was worth staying in. I enjoyed the recently renovated and big sized room and spacious bathroom. Central heating, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a mini fridge bar were a nice touch...

    The location was marvellous, just 5 minutes walk from a comical statue. I enjoyed the room with high ceiling, the bed was good. Had hairdryers, a bidet, and bath sheets in the bathroom.

    Modern and stylish hotel located in a shopping area adjacent to a pedestrian road as well as the city centre. Perfect location just a pleasant stroll away from a central plaza.

    The hotel's location was incredibly convenient with easy access from the airport by bus. It was also conveniently close to shopping malls and department stores for some mind-blowing retail therapy. The room, despite being a bit noisy due to its facing the busy main road, was spacy and clean with a jaw-dropping new bathroom. The staff were super helpful in dealing with a cancellation issue and promptly refunded the funds. The 24h access was a great feature, and the hotel offered wi-fi, a paid airport shuttle, a flat-screen TV, a lift, no pets allowed. I will definitely consider using this hotel again in the future for my travels.
