Hotel Porta Faenza enjoys a fantastic location, within walking distance of the train station and attractions like the Accademia Gallery. Many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some of which feature jacuzzis, and the modern bathrooms, but a few guests have occasionally found some rooms smaller than expected. A good breakfast with varied options, including both sweet and savory choices, is often mentioned as a plus. Via Faenza is also a lively and safe street with many shops, trattorias and cafes.
