Ok. First. You’re going to completely freak out when you are dropped off at the property. It’s located on the side of the Umberto Gallerie which is a very cool shopping venue, but the hotel itself is tucked up inside a courtyard that looks very, umm, not safe. It is. You may have to ring the bell to be let in. Teeny, tiny elevator leads to reception. I wouldn’t let that deter me because the hotel, itself, the staff and, I think the location is great.
The staff was truly exceptional. I can’t say enough. The room was huge, clean, open and comfortable. We had a view of the street below and loved people-watching! Breakfast was tasty, options were plentiful. This is a small hotel by comparison but I can’t say any feature was affected by its size. If anything, it made it more personable.
We walked everywhere. Dozens of small shops, local brands and other more well- known options are close by.
The issues I’d point out are minor … paid mini-bar and the soap “shelf” in the shower was intended for someone seven feet tall!!
