HOTEL SAN GIOVANNI ^*

This hotel is an interesting place. It is located in the 2nd floor of the building, one floor full of rooms, some lovely frescoes and old furniture, just like at your grandmas’ place (, if she is a descendant of Dante, by chance.) Of course, the experience wasn’t that bad. We knew, that we are ordering a room in a hotel in the very heart of historical centre, in an old building. But this post is for those, who might not consider the bitter side of it.
So — the 1st thing — the hygiene of the shower is quite not enough. It is “clean”, but there is mould. The soap is there, shower gel too, but the shower gel is just a small plastic package, not enough for one. And also, the curtain of the shower is not a good design for somebody over 60 kg and 180 cm.

2nd — old houses has wooden floors, that are noisy. Very noisy. Especially, when people from other rooms decide to run through the corridors, when they come late at night. Old equipment is romantic — but it has flaws, everything is shaking, screetching and moving.

3rd — the design of light switch in the bathroom. The light switch that is right near to the red alarm switch (?) maybe resulted, in us not sleeping last night. Because right after our festive and loudly running neighbours finally calmed down, somebody must have switched on the fire alarm by mistake. Or maybe someone decided to lightup a cigarette, which I doubt, because there was non-smoking signs everywhere.

To wrap it up — one star is maybe to harsh, but I want this noticed. And I am thankful, that there were no bugs, not other parasites. (Or none that I know about now, while just returned.) Walking out from the “hotel” everyday straight out to the Piazza del Duomo was an amazing experience after all.

Ottima posizione

Loved our room! Unique layout, not your typical hotel room which is a strong plus in my opinion. Room was large and very clean. Someone reviewed about no air conditioning but there is air conditioning in the room now - so another plus! Location is excellent!!

Molto bello e pulito

Abbiamo soggiornato ad agosto e devo dire che la posizione è eccellente, appena esci dal portone ti ritrovi davanti al duomo. Veramente bello
