Parking note. Problematic — Garage 100m away costs €40/night; city center location makes street parking difficult; one guest stated parking with a car is 'almost impossible.'

What guests report

View
Street-facing rooms offer Porta Venezia views with natural light but more noise; courtyard-facing rooms are quieter with less street disturbance but limited natural light and inner courtyard views
Bed & mattress
Exceptionally comfortable with high-quality linens, plush and supportive mattresses specifically praised by business travelers and couples
Bathroom & water
Large and spacious with powerful rain showers, excellent water pressure, hot water, high-quality toiletries in large formats, bidet, and professional hairdryer
Wi-Fi
Not mentioned in reviews
Breakfast
Continental buffet with fresh but limited selection; quality varies with items (yogurt, pastries, croissants) running out by 9 AM; eggs often served lukewarm; worth early arrival but not a standout feature for the price
AC / heating
Air conditioning is functional but temperature control is problematic—set at high levels with guests unable to lower it; some rooms have loud external ventilation noise
Elevator
Available

Local knowledge

Request a room facing Porta Venezia street side for better natural light despite potential street noise; inner courtyard rooms are quieter but darker and face AC/ventilation noise
Use nearby Unes parking garage (€40/24h) if driving; street parking is extremely challenging in this central location
Arrive early to claim the complimentary lounge area; on busy days it gets crowded but remains well-stocked with coffee, tea, water, and beverages 24/7
