I stayed for three nights. I’m a bit suspicious of all the 5/5 Google reviews. On the positive side, the location is central, the rooms including the bathroom and shower are cleaned every day, Francesco promptly responds to service needs, hot water in the shower, strong WiFi, TV works well, mini refrigerator is provided, electric kettle and tea bags, adequate lighting in the room and LudBen Dante hallway, and there are three sets of keys to keep the room secure. It would have been convenient if Francesco had emailed the codes needed to enter the building, LudBen Dante suite, and the room instead of miscommunication through text messages on the day I arrived. I did arrive 20 minutes early but having all the codes would have made entry to the room problem free. The building is old and you will need to haul your luggage up three flights of stairs. At night, you will have to climb up or down the stairs and find the keyhole at the top of the stairs to the LudBen Dante suite in total darkness for the stairway lights don’t work. I slipped and nearly had a serious accident grabbing the handrail just in time. The bedspread is stained and doesn’t look it has been cleaned for a long time. The mattress is hard and street noise comes through the window which interferes with getting a good night’s rest. As for breakfast, you are given a coupon which you can take to the cafe across the street in exchange for an Italian breakfast of coffee or cappuccino and a croissant. If you want an American style breakfast you will need to wait until 8:30AM and pay for it. Towel exchange was changed from every two days when I booked the room to every three days. Francesco was accommodating and alerted the cleaning woman to provide fresh towels every two days. However, I would not stay in a place if towels were changed every three days. Checkout is promptly at 10AM and all keys need to be returned to the room. If you need to store your luggage past checkout then it can be left in the hallway and you will need to use the codes to get into the building and LudBen Dante suite. I gave LudBen Dante only two stars for there was no lift, stairway lights don’t work making access to the room dangerous, noise level from street noise, hard mattress, building and room codes not provided before arrival, and the dirty bedspread.
