Why people love it

  • Hosts Carlo and Evi. Carlo gave one couple tips on the city and restaurants, and other guests describe the owners as friendly and always available.
  • Clean, quiet rooms. Guests mention spotless, soundproofed rooms with comfortable beds and a kettle and welcome kit.
  • Shared lounge. Chilled water, a Lavazza coffee machine and a fridge are available in the main lounge.
  • Location. Guests say it is steps from the Cathedral and the Estense Castle.

The worst thing guests say

In November 2025 one guest said service was very poor: staff were reachable only on WhatsApp and there was nowhere to leave luggage while the room was being cleaned. Older guests mention no parking nearby, a windowless bathroom, and a welcome pack they found disappointing.

Insider tips

  • Staff answer on WhatsApp, so message ahead if you arrive early or leave late.
  • Do not count on parking nearby, it is outside the pedestrian area.
  • Ask about breakfast when booking, since some guests say it is limited.
Who it's for: couples and short-stay visitors who want a central, quiet room at a fair price.
Skip it if you need staff on site all day or parking at the door.
