Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the upside, the rooms were equipped with excellent facilities such as a kitchenette and a stove, but unfortunately, there was no fridge available. The on-suite bath was a nice touch. The service provided, however, left much to be desired. The location was unbeatable, right in the very heart of the city in an old palazzo. The dining experience, although included, could have been more varied beyond Danish pastries. The facilities were satisfactory, but there were some disappointments overall.
