Plan to arrive during daylight hours. From airport to B&B, Alibus to stop #11. Walk across the street to the McDonalds restaurant continue on pass the Monika Mini Market turn right stop at door #12. The signs are very small. There is a wood looking door with a Lionhead. Push the silver Florio button for the manager. Be prepared to walk up 6 flights of stairs. There is a luggage lift on the 2nd floor.

Good but if you have mobility issues, the stairs can be tricky. The shower was kind of nuts. Very friendly staff though, and really convenient location, lots of charm and character to the place. (I was really looking forward to a nice shower the day I checked it, so I was disappointed, but overall the stay was cozy and nice.)

The gentleman checking me in was extremely nice and did his best to help. But parking was a major issue as always in the city though the listing stated parking. The garage I paid for was only a 8 minute walk but with luggage was difficult. The lot across the street from the hotel was open to public first come first serve.

This hotel is quite quirky and may not be to everyones taste but i thought it was fab. Yes, it has a lot of steps to get to it but it keeps you fit and i liked the pulley system to get your luggage up outside the building. The room is spacious and clean with a few old artefacts. The shower in our room was small but lots of hot water and fluffy towels. Breakfast was ok. Location was great as right in centre and ten minute walk to market or five minutes the other way for pubs and restaurants. Being in the centre there was some noise of traffic and late night revellers but not excessive. Great value.

Not for anyone with mobility issues.

The area was central to everything so very handy. However we didn't realise that there were 59 steps from the front door to reception and our room! 3 times a day we climbed these stairs. There was a hoist half way up for luggage which was located outside an open window so be careful if you have children or are unsteady on your feet. The people were very friendly.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. One of the biggest advantages is that I was able to check in in the morning, which allowed me to make the most of my first day. It was incredibly convenient.

The owner is a cheerful, old-fashioned Italian gentleman who made me feel very welcome. He is warm, friendly, and genuinely kind. This place may not be the best choice for people who are extremely picky or sensitive about every little detail, but I found it very comfortable and felt completely at home.

The location is excellent and very convenient for getting around.

Considering the location, the hospitality, and the price, I think the hotel offers outstanding value for money. I would be happy to stay here again.
