“Not much to praise: broken things, pricey extras, a breakfast not worth repeating, and a bed that wasn't comfortable.”

8.1Verified guest

“Good location, close to the metro and university. Air conditioning was there (though not at night) and hot water always. The room was clean.”

8.1Verified guest

“Simple but cute and quiet. A bit far from the centre, but the metro connection is great – Loreto station is 5-6 minutes on foot, then 10 minutes to Duomo on the red line. Corso Buenos Aires is a 6-7 minute walk. Breakfast is symbolic, but there are good dining options around Loreto square. Central Station is about 25 minutes. Rooms and amenities were clean and well kept. Staff were kind and helpful, and gave a free city map.”

8.1Verified guest

“Cosy and clean, friendly staff, good breakfast.”

8.1Verified guest

“Well-located near Loreto metro (two major lines cross), ideal for exploring the city in all directions – a day ticket for metro & bus is only €3. A bit away from the real centre, which makes it cheaper than hotels within walking distance of the centre.”

8.1Verified guest

“For a 2-star, it's adequate if you want to be near Centrale and the metro. Public areas looked better than the room, but the room was fine for a night. Staff were helpful and the patio was pleasant. The 24-hour desk let us leave in the early hours and called a taxi for us.”
