My Personal View

8.0

The location is excellent and close by to the main square. The atmosphere was good and the staff extremely helpful and efficient. The room was fine for a 16th Century building but I was worried about slipping when using the shower in the bath. The hotel was very clean and the noise level fine. The breakfast was OK but could do with some improvement.

Good all round experience

10.0

Well located - close to a public carpark (but steep walk uphill), round the corner from the main square and close to most attractions. Pleasant staff.

Nice old hotel in centre of town

8.0

We had a 3 night stay at Hotel San Michele and it was all it promised. We had a warm welcome on arrival, it’s only steps away from the main piazzas with loads of restaurants and cafes to choose from. The hotel staff were friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast was lovely with a nice little courtyard to sit in and enjoy the fresh air. Our transfers and laundry were organised with ease. It’s an old hotel in an old town so some things were a little in need of maintenance but nothing that affected our stay. Everything works! It just adds character, you can imagine it in its former life as a Palazzo. The room was a decent size and very quiet. Air con worked- important during an Italian summer heatwave. Would have been nice if it could have been left in while out of the room to keep it cool but didn’t take too long.

Great location but very tired.

6.0

Nice hotel but in need of maintenance. The aircon was adequate but shut off whenever you left the room as did the power charging any devices. Everything in the bathroom functioned but was very dated and cramped. If you have elbows a shower is challenging. The shutters on the windows don’t close. The door to the room was so ill fitting it made as well have been left open for all the sound deadening to the corridor it provided. All the common areas just looked sad and worn. Not in an antique way. Just worn out. Other than that the staff were excellent. The breakfast by Europe’s standards was excellent. Location also excellent. Great access to restaurants and the piazza but far enough to feel tranquil at night.
