“The hotel's location near the Fortezza da Basso Conference Centre certainly appeals, yet reports of musty smells and unwelcome mosquitos give me pause. While spacious rooms and a friendly host are definite pluses, cleanliness and practical amenities seem inconsistent. The lack of on-site staff and elevator access might further complicate a stay for some.”
