Frommer's Review

In 1998, the former owner of Tipica Trattoria Etrusca bought this former budget favorite and overhauled it completely into board-rated three-star status. While I kind of miss the old super-cheap flophouse, located just a few steps off the left side of the Duomo's piazza, the new Hotel Duomo still offers an excellent price for the location, with far more comfort and amenities. The rooms -- some quite large, others of modest size -- now have stylish modern furnishings, beds with firm box springs, original sculpture on the walls, and marble sink tops and heated towel racks (but flat towels) in the new bathrooms. A few rooms overlook the cathedral's striped flank. There's a small garden out front for alfresco breakfasts in summer.

Facilities:
Concierge; courtesy car; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; nonsmoking rooms

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.
