Stayed at the Spalentor during Euro 2008, so it was very busy. The best thing about the hotel is the staff, who are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are larger than the average, and decently furnished. But the hotel is right on a busy junction, with trams, lorries and buses making quite a din until the early hours. Not... more

This was an economical choice which allowed us all to share a room comfortably and have a pleasant and manageable walk to the centre of the old town. Ideal for the purpose. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was perfectly adequate. Worth serious consideration for a no frills,... more
