4This is a very good basic hotel. The room was small but clean. A wardrobe was provided for hanging clothing but they did not provide enough hangers to hang clothes and there were no drawers. The floors are tiled with marble but we did not notice any noise issue. The biggest issue was there was no shelf for soap or shampoo so showering is difficult. The water was hot and the pressure was good. Towels were interesting - the large bath sheet was nice but no wash cloths or face towels were provided - rather something that resembled very nice dishtowels. We did have a refrigerator, it leaked but it worked. The TV worked well and did have 1 or 2 English channels depending on the time of day - however, it was on the same circuit as the overhead light so it was necessary to leave the lights on to watch TV. Hairdryer provided - The staff was very friendly and provided much needed bus info. It only took us about 20 minutes to reach downtown by bus - a bit more if you wanted to connect to the metro. Staff spoke English, French and Italian. We had no problem with valuables in our room but then again, we were not stupid and did not leave anything laying out to be stolen. We used the in room safe without problem. The neighborhood is safe but there are few sidewalks. We used the ATM machine located across the street at the Crowne Plaza at the suggestion of the hotel staff.
Staff was very helpful.
Back of bathroom door was dirty - towels strange. Shower needs a shelf.
