Great location basic hotel
The hotel is definitely faded grandeur. The best thing about it is its excellent location. Room was clean and bed comfy but every day the shower was only ever lukewarm; the door to my room didn't shut properly from the outside without being slammed very hard several times so in fact someone in housekeeping hadn't closed it properly. Staff are patchy - charming younger guy who was 5 star but others gruffer. Breakfast coffee wasn't great. Better to go to cafe Martorana few steps away. Too many big American tour groups.

Beautiful old building with lovely inner courtyard with a fountain. Roof could be drawn back. Very central location easy walk from the station which was useful as we arrived by train in the evening from Naples. Large, clean, comfortable room. Very good breakfast. All at a very good price.
