the hotel is very close to the train station. this made arrival and departure easy. the location also provides access to a piazza with numerous dining options.
the room i had was quite small. it felt a bit cramped, even just for one person. there was a musky smell near the end of the hallway (i noticed it every time i walked by). the shower area was also small.
