It was a great family run hotel. I had silent small double room with a view of the Duomo, a mini fridge, as example. Distance to the airport was just 0.5 km. Welcoming service was provided here.
Tbh Wi-Fi was very spotty, and the bed was not so comfortable.

Convenient location and very clean room and the bed was comfortable. Moreover, the hotel has a parking nearby. You could walk to stores and a market. What's more, getting to a prominent art museum on foot takes about 10 mins.
Nothing not to love!
