Disapointed

I weighed this hotel on the advertized airport shuttle filter, NO shuttle, they will call you a taxi. The wood trim is mostly plastic. Room was dark with a bank of flouresent bulbs over the bed. The advertized ".04KM" to city center" means to the old city walls, the center is another half mile. Litter blown street.Did not meet my expectation of four star Will never stay here again.

Decent Retro Italian Hotel

This hotel is great and seems to have changed little since the early 70s, providing a good break to the usual modern hotel. The young staff also seem to have been teleported forward making for a very interesting experience. There are always 3 people working the reception, 2 of whom seem to have little to do and the general staff to guest ratio is approx. 3:1. It's very confortable if odd and we would highly recommend it for a day or two. The only downside is the location. They claim it is close to the center, it's not. It's a good 45 minute walk, so plan on taking the bus. The restaurant and breakfast is worth a look, try the 12 euro/pp breakfast once but don't commit afterwards. The internet is 10 euro per day and TV is only in Italian.

Grand Hotel Elite

The hotel was great. Quiet, clean, and a friendly staff. The only downside was the location which was less than ideal and somewhat misrepresented on the website.

Bon hotel

Hotel situé à 20mn à pied du centre historique. 2lignes de bus à proximité de l hôtel desservent également le centre ville. Chambre spacieuse coté cour interieure, beaucoup plus calme que celles donnant sur la via Saffi; kitchenette avec possibilité de faire thé ou café; Salle de bain également spacieuse avec wc séparé. Bonne propreté de la chambre. Seuls petits bemols: la déco un peu vieillotte...et l accès wi-fi payant.. Personnel agréable Bon rapport qualité-prix
