Front desk staff was MIA
Had difficulties checking in. Arrived at 10pm to find the front desk deserted.
We waited 10 minutes in the lobby, even ringing the bell and checking behind in the staff room. We decided to head out and come back later to try again.
On our return the front door was locked and we were stuck out in the rain. We rang the doorbell but no response. We eventually figured out how to call the hotel, while still out in the rain.
Front desk finally came out to answer the phone and saw us. She was apologetic and said that the front doorbell doesn't work. Could not provide an answer why nobody was around when we first arrived.

Nice hotel
Hotel was nicely positioned and friendly staff. Unfortunately the air conditioning is not yet operational, of which we were aware, but the rooms, even with a fan, were overly warm.
Really nice touch is the free aperitives late afternoon.

Perfect Location
Location is perfect. I’d call this an efficiency hotel as the standard rooms are comfortable but not fancy. They have what you need. Everything was very clean and the service is excellent. Breakfast is sufficient. No air conditioning would be a problem during the hottest months. We would definitely stay again.
The STAFF make the stay for guests as they are so welcoming and helpful. 👍👍👍👍

Loved the convenience of being close to the center of the old town. The room was comfortable albeit small. The toilet facing the head of the bed took me by surprise. Enjoyed the free "aperitivo" every evening, offering snacks and good quality wines and beer.

Poor stay; unresolved issues with the room
Poor stay; unresolved issues with the room which were highlighted to the staff during our stay and remained unresolved.
Sink was blocked before we arrived in the room, slow to drain (how can this not have been something housekeeping were unaware of and not have reported anyway?)
Bath was unable to switch between shower and bath outlets. Shower hose was damaged and frayed.
Room was generally cold, with only underfloor heating in the bathroom. Uninsulated concrete room construction with a small electic radiator in one corner lead to a very stuffy yet cold room most of the time.
