Quaint Room in Medieval Old Town

The room was clean and cozy. Our room had a beautiful view of the countryside over red roofs. The best part of the hotel was it’s located among the quaint buildings in the medieval old town. Everything we wanted to see was walking distance. Breakfast and WiFi were free. The lady at the front desk was amazing and very friendly.

We went during a busy time so we had to park about 10-15 minutes away from the hotel and walk up hill. There is parking about 5 minutes from the hotel but we co

Great hotel and location, be prepared for hills

We stayed for three nights. Very nice location, close to all the major sites! Be prepared to carry/pull luggage up steep hills to get from the bus to the hotel. The streets of the town are all uphill/downhill and cobblestone or paved. Once you get there, the hotel is very accommodating and has great views!

Great location but no wifi in the room

Location is excellent right in the main square but the room is extremely small and does not have wifi in the room! I didn't pay attention about the wifi when I booked; I would think every hotel nowadays have wifi! Breakfast was all cold items and limited choices. There's no fridge in the room but the staff is friendly to give you ice if you asked.

I stayed in this lovely small hotel owned by a very friendly couple. The hotel had everything. The buffet breakfast was bountiful and elaborately set out exactly at 7am every morning. I felt very safe and comfortable in this location. Absolutely every staff member even housekeepers were so friendly. Serg, you run a fantastic boutique hotel!

Great location; clean and quiet.

The hotel is very well situated near the entrance to the city (just a few hundred yards from parking lot 6). It’s near a lot of restaurants and shops. The staff were professional and friendly. The elevator is very small, but that’s standard for many hotels. The beds were comfortable, but the rooms are very compact. The area was very quiet at night. Great views from our room on the 3rd floor!

Das Hotel liegt zentral in einer der beschaulichen Gassen, Restaurants, Geschäfte und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fussläufig gut erreichbar, kleine Steigungen inbegriffen.
Das Superior-Doppelzimmer mit Balkon im Dachgeschoss hat einen beeindruckenden Blick auf San Marino und den Ausläufern der Apennin-Gebirgskette. Einrichtung und Bad neuwertig.
Frühstück war ausreichend, auch wenn nicht sonderlich umfangreich.
Personal sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. 24h Rezeption.
Parkplätze sind 5 Gehminuten entfernt und das Hotel bietet einen eigenen Parkschein an.
