Coveniently located, this hotel is very typical of italian hotels in grandiose historical cities - well below the standards of comparable US hotels, horrendously overprices, but staff trying to do what they can to minor the incoveniences of staying in.... well.... an old palace with need for a lot of maintenance and immense upgrades. The particular issue with this hotel is its labytinthical layout - i got consistently lost in the corridors desperately trying to find the room, upstairs, downstairs, up the elevators down other elevators... a true nightmare that only ended when at the brink of despair, the staff changed the room. Rooms are all old, dated and in need of upgrade but not sure there is much they can do, it would need to close for many months to do a multi million $$ renovation
