The double room included a closet with hangers. i found fresh towels in the bathroom upon arrival. the location was near several points of interest. I walked everywhere.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues
cheap ham acidic coffee
Giulia and Francisca were friendly and helpful. Their flexibility with my needs was acceptable.
The breakfast service was disappointing. The ham was cheap, and the cheese was low quality. The coffee tasted acidic, and the tables were not cleaned. Doing dishes after eating felt more like a low-budget hostel than a stay that cost 100 EUR per night. I think the hotel intentionally lowered the level of breakfast service, despite the good reviews of the previous tasty and rich breakfasts.
