Frommer's Review

Carmela Corradino and her family care for this small, modern hotel. The rooms are smallish but not cramped, the ceilings high and vaulted, the mattresses firm, and the furnishings are new. Many of the rooms have a third bed, making them perfect for families, but I'd go for room no. 201 or 202 (which can be connected), which share a lovely terrace overlooking the botanical gardens behind the hotel. In fact, any room on the back will be quieter than those on the busy street (though the windows' double glazing does muffle things somewhat). The small terrace where you can breakfast in summer glimpses the top half of the Leaning Tower.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; nonsmoking rooms; Internet point

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.
