We were a group of 6 with many questions and needs. We had bikes to store and the staff was super helpful. Great place in a little town. Close to grocery and pastries. Thank you!
Location and room
The front door and the proximity to food outlets
The hotel is fine for a one night stay on the Via Francigena. The breakfast was very good which made up for a hotel which is generally a little tired and due for refurbishment. That said everything worked as it should.
Hotel is generally a bit tired. Needs a refurbishment.
Location. The Manager was helpful
Dirty, wall paper peeling. We were given the wrong door code to get in by Booking.com and had to wait outside for an hour. Then we were let in by an unhelpful receptionist
Comfortable and clean. On the via route.
Dated and a bit dull
Great hotel. Hiking the Via Francigena. Responsive staff. Wonderful breakfast. I would stay here again!
location. The reception staff where polite and helpful.
Plug sockets not working. TV not working. shower gel empty. Does anyone check these things when cleaning the room?
Dirty, faulty shower, very old windows, hellish noise with the windows closed.
Dirty, old, lots of noise
Staff very kind and good selection for buffet breakfast: yogurt, cereal, sweets, coffee, tea, juice.
The man at the counter was very welcoming and helpful regarding where to buy tickets for and catch the bus.
The description said there were views from the window of the room, there was not. The description said toiletries were included - there was a combination hand, hair, and body dispenser near the hand basin but the one in the shower was empty. The plaster on the walls was cracked and falling off.
The staff the cleanliness the breakfast and it was good value for our purpose
It is a tired hotel in terms of its furnishing and immediate location however this did not hamper us for a one night stay and it really was great value for money . Thank you for your service and
Friendly and very helpful staffLovely breakfast and catered for gluten free food. Private bathroomGood location
Beds a bit hard.Would love to be able to make own coffee.
Breakfast buffet was good. Plenty of food to fuel our walk for the day. The location was also excellent with bakery, restaurants, grocery store, and bars within 5 minute walk. I would describe the hotel as 3.5 stars--nothing fancy but adequate. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Recommend.
The key to the room didn't work. I'm glad there was another woman staying at the hostel. There were several men who lived there. I wish they told us that. I would have been upset if I was the only woman there. I don't know if the woman who checked us in would have told me if I was the only woman.
Room key didn't work. I felt unsafe. Not the facility's fault. There were village festivities going on. Music and singing until 1 am. Couldn't sleep at all. Hostel is on the bridge and faces the road. Can hear people talking as they walked on the street.
Easy to find if you are walking the Francigena. Lovely welcome, comfortable, clean.
Everything was good.
