Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel! The rooms were updated and very clean, with a lovely terrace that added to the experience. The service was top-notch, and the location, situated on the banks of the river, was simply beautiful. However, the dining options were a bit limited to Italian dishes. I enjoyed the facilities, which were well-maintained, making my stay even more pleasant.
The hotel is beautifully located on the banks of the river, offering a serene atmosphere, but it lacks dining variety. Rooms are modern, clean, and equipped with a terrace or patio, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service is welcoming and efficient, adding to the positive experience. Although the facilities are well-maintained, the dining options are limited.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were updated, very clean, and had a lovely terrace. The service was exceptional, and the location was right in the heart of the city. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities were average.
