Needs renovation
Small bedroom and very small bathroom. Hotel generally very old and tired. Breakfast very poor with very little choice. Convenient location with a quick walk to the town.
Not impressed, very hard to find parking, less than friendly staff, property not as described and very small.

Colazione da incubo
Camera con arredi un pò retrò , letto singolo piccolissimo.,
Colazione impresentabile composta da una serie di merendine confezionate , e per finire la mattina, dopo il pagamento non è stato possibile avere la ricevuta perchè il personale presente non era abilitato , ho dovuto attendere il giorno seguente e solo dopo sollecito mi hanno inviato fattura
Tutto ok, personale gentile e disponibile. hotel carino e pulito. Stanza singola grande dotata di un bel balcone. Bagno grande e ristrutturato.
Colazione e cena discrete.
Ho soggiornato in una camera con un grande balcone con vista sulle colline del paese. Il bagno è molto spazioso. Colazione e cena di buona qualità e con la possibilità di richiedere alimenti vegani e vegetariani. Ho apprezzato la cortesia dello staff.
Prenotato e pagato on line. Arrivata mail di conferma del soggiorno. Alle 23 arrivati davanti la struttura il responsabile mi dice che non può accettare il nostro soggiorno in quanto ha problemi di internet. Alle 23 ho dovuto cercare un altro posto per dormire. Poca professionalità e nessuna correttezza.
Abitualmente quando mi reco da quelle parti ho un altro albergo di riferimento, ma essendo quello in questa occasione chiuso sono stato consigliato di soggiornare all' Ariosto. Mi sono trovato bene e senz'altro ci tornerò quando il mio tradizionale albergo di riferimento non potrà ospitarmi. In ogni caso lo consiglierò.
