The hotel is located in a fantastic area, close to major attractions and the train station, making it super easy to explore. The rooms were clean and renovated, but I found them to be a bit poorly designed for the space available, and the noise from the street was a bit bothersome. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated, especially as a solo female traveler. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing after such a great stay overall.

The hotel is situated in an excellent location, just a short walk from the historic center and the Mercato Centrale. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay comfortable. However, the rooms, especially the bathroom, felt a bit cramped. While the service was helpful, the added currency exchange fee was an unexpected downside.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which is positioned perfectly for sightseeing. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, but they faced the street and were a bit noisy. The service was friendly and efficient, although there was an odd situation regarding currency payment. Dining could be improved with more variety at breakfast, but overall, it's a good value for money considering the location and comfort.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were incredibly comfortable and beautifully decorated, they lacked fresh air and were noisy due to their proximity to the lift. The service from the staff was excellent, especially during breakfast, but the location felt unsafe at night. Overall, I found it to be a decent stay with both positives and negatives to consider.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from major attractions and great eating spots, the rooms weren't utilized well, making them feel cramped and humid. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which greatly improved my stay, but I wouldn't say the value for money was top-notch given the discomfort in the rooms.

I recently stayed at this hotel and I have to say, the location is fantastic! It’s close to all the major attractions and the staff really made me feel welcome. The rooms, while secure and peaceful, had a bit of a sauna-like vibe at night, which wasn’t ideal. Overall, it’s a good spot for the price, but a few small tweaks could really elevate the experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had its positives, I encountered some drawbacks. The location is excellent, just a short walk from key attractions and the train station. The service was friendly and accommodating, making my stay enjoyable. However, the room I was in had some issues, primarily with noise and ventilation, which made it uncomfortable at times.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Boston. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the cathedral and major attractions, making it super convenient. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I found it quite warm despite the A/C being on all the time. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help me make dinner reservations. However, the dining options were somewhat limited during my stay, and I don't think the price matched the experience.

I had a lovely stay at this family-owned hotel. The rooms were bigger than I expected and very modern, plus the service was incredibly warm and accommodating. It's super close to the historic center and the famous Mercato Centrale, which is a huge plus, but the breakfast could have offered more savory options. Overall, I felt like I got great value for my money.
