"Staff members are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is wonderful! Our room was overlooking a canal and was lovely. They have a nice little bar area, and I would recommend they could have a few more offerings. Oh- the location is perfect- making everything we did walkable.

8/10 Good
"Nice rooms. Located very close to the Trian station and why I booked this location. However, the location of the hotel is in a run down area of the city. Lots of homeless. Dirty streets. Didn't feel too safe at night walking around. There is a Chinese restaurant nearby that was fantastic. I would book the location again due to the location right across from the train station. We took that to Venice island and to Florence. Parking is a block away and wasn't really guarded. Be careful walking from that location at night."
