Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Pay close attention to check-out time - the room and front door codes change exactly at 11:00, and late exit may lock you out.

  • 02

    Request a room with private bathroom when booking if shared facilities are not preferable; both options exist.

  • 03

    Reserve a table at Casa Del Popolo downstairs to use the 25% discount available to hotel guests for meals and drinks.

  • 04

    Use the shared lounge and kitchen area for tea, coffee and a communal workspace - it is well equipped with a fridge, kettle and water boiler.
