The worst thing guests say

A guest in August 2026 rated 2 stars after paying almost 300 euros a night for a suite with a strong musty or moldy smell and humidity. In May 2026 a guest rated 1 star after being told hours before check-in that the room had problems and being moved to a neighboring hotel in a room without TV or Wi-Fi. Rude staff are reported in August 2022, May 2024 and, for a driver, June 2025. In the 24 most recent reviews, the other ratings are 4 or 5 stars.

Insider tips

• A shuttle serves the parking lot, and a June 2025 guest who was picked up at Parking Nicoletti found the driver rude. Confirm the pickup with the hotel.
• Ask about humidity in your room before you arrive.
• The room with the bed on the second floor has a bathroom on the first floor, which one guest said was fine at night.
