The room was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortabe. That's all I need. The location was great, convenient to both Old Town and the train station. It's in the middle of the city so there is some noise, of course but nothing that kept me awake. The staff is great!

Palazzo Calò
The room was very cool, with the stone walls and the loft where the bed was. We had to leave early the next morning for a flight and the front desk attendance offered to bring us yogurt and muffins the night before so that we could eat before we go. Very nice!
