The night staff was extremely rude and unwelcoming. The day staff vas off hand and did not make you feel welcome. The cleaner was extremely rude. The rooms were poor, with dirty walls, beds too small and no safe or fridge. I would say for the money paid I stayed in the past in much better hotels. This is not... More

Pensione Marconi is conveniently located, cheap and run by friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to rest their head within close walking distance of the middle of town (shops, restaurants, sites etc) and is not too fussed about the lack of frills.

How is that possible in today's world, I don't know. The room was adequate, dated and the shower didn't work properly, but we are budget travellers and used to... More
