Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the hotel's attractive building and its convenient location near the Piazza Principe train station, with easy access to main attractions. The rooms are considered comfortable, and some feature lovely large soaking tubs; in some instances, guests were upgraded to the sister Grand Hotel Savoia. Some guests have reported issues such as overcharges or occasional small rooms, but the breakfast buffet is usually found to be substantial, and the air conditioning generally works very well.
