Frommer's Review

This former student hangout and now board-rated two-star hotel, is still partly used as a study-abroad dorm, although its clientele ranges from college juniors to young adults to retirees, all attracted by the excellent price-to-location ratio: It is tucked away on its own little piazza at the heart of the centro storico's pedestrian zone. The rooms are brightly tiled but bland. This is a large operation without any of the warmth or ambience of a small, family-run hotel, and the concierge and management are efficient but generally uninvolved.

Facilities:
Tour desk; Internet point in lobby

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
