Boutique Hotel Piazza Carità

Friendly stuff and good location

The hotel is extremely tiny and does not have its own entrance. The restaurant is small with few very tiny tables. Furthermore, since the hotel is on only one floor, you will hear all the noise coming from people having breakfast. The rooms were average and even not very clean... in summary, with 4 stars, the hotel is highly overestimated!

The only plus side is the location, but with this respect there are several similarly positioned, but fair priced hotels nearby.

The hotel is more or less an open space and therefore extremely noisy, offering no privacy and comfort. Toilet flushing, TV watching, showering can be heard all over. Each morning you are waken up by egg whisking, coffee making and other noises. The dining room is small and very uncomfortable due to small tables. The food selection is very modest, the food of low quality: no100% fruit juices; no fresh made scrambled eggs (scrambled eggs made sometime in the morning and left cold on the bar counter), rancid walnuts,... There is no replenishing. The rooms are equipped with a convection heater; there is no central heating with radiators. There is no heater in the bathroom! The convection heater in our room was on the wall opposite our pillows/heads position so it was a very annoying, disturbing and irritating experience due to the air convection currents blowing directly into our heads. For people with any type allergic, eyes or breathing health issues it can be very damaging. There was no replenishing for a selection of teas and Nescafe bags and we were not provided with slippers until requested. The elevator in the hotel building operates only when both in-door and out-door doors are meticulously closed after exiting the elevator. As apparently many users do not do it (or do not do it properly), we had to use stairs and walk to the 2nd floor almost every second time. Definitely worth precautions and warnings for anyone with mobility disabilities of any kind. The hotel provides shuttle service to the airport at a rate of €35.00. However, the transfer to the airport costs between 20 and 25 Euros (you can negotiate) if city (white coloured) taxi is ordered (phone No: 00 39 081 2222) or one picked up on Piazza Carita just across the hotel. The staff (with the exception of barista and night shift receptionist) was unfriendly, distant, uncivil, and disobliging. We were given no apology whatsoever for freezing the whole first night (due to malfunctioning of the heater).
