Bristol Palace Hotel
My stay at Bristol Palace was nearly perfect! The personnel is extremely courteous, helpful, eager to make sure your stay goes as well as possible. I extended my stay for a 3rd night and was upgraded to a double room, which was more spacious. Rooms are very clean, quiet, water pressure is wonderful. ...

Hotel De Ville
Great hotel, spacious, friendly and welcoming staff, I had a pleasant stay. One remark, the noise isolation is not great so you feel any doors rattle outside, which is quite loud. But I had a great time and appreciate the stuff. Thank you.

Le Nuvole Residenza d'epoca
Loved staying at Le Nuvole, great position, beautiful historic building. The only negative note is the a/c which was very loud and just had to keep it on all night because of the heat wave.

Hotel Palazzo Grillo
Nice hotel, clean, great location and friendly staff. We stayed in a dulux suite with a ‘city view’ which was a bit cheeky as the ‘view’ was basically a wall with a dead pigeon on it! The location though was impeccable - you can walk anywhere in under 20 mins
