We had a double room for 2 nights. The shower room was a real squeeze, but fully functional once you'd shut the door! Breakfast was ok - cold buffet. Staff were a bit slow in setting up fresh tables and bringing hot drinks. On our second night the air conditioning unit began to leak so all we could hear was it dripping! My partner went to find someone in the night and came back saying the person on duty was alseep on the sofa (and he didn't want to wake him). Eventually the dripping stopped and we got back to sleep. They don't have a luggage store (for when you leave), but allow you to leave bags in the lounge. This was ok, but not at all secure. Apart from the AC unit we had a pleasant stay. The location was great for us as we always travel by train and it's right outside the station. It was also very close to the Duomo (about 5min walk) so we felt central.

The lift to the property is one of the old style -- u have to manually close 2 doors for it to start moving. Shabby entrance on floor. The hotel is on 2 floors (3rd & 4th) and has maybe arond 40 rooms. NOT ALL THE ROOMS HAVE PROPER SHOWERS. On the first night we arrived at 10pm, the receptionist did not speak english. We were given a room right by the reception desk, so could hear the receptionist talking loudly on the phone; was not apologetic when we asked him to keep it down. The bathroom had no shower cubicle and no tub, just a showerhead in the wall and tiled floors; messy. However they were able to move us to a better room the next day, which had a better bathroom. Breakfast ok, tho nothing hot. Room cleaners good, as they did the job. Linen used in the photographs on venere make the rooms look MUCH nicer than they are. the rooms are yuck compared to the photos.

I would recommend the manager to be more determined with those guests who come up with the brilliant idea of having a noisy party in their rooms in the middle of the night.

Very nice staff. Our room was just underneath breakfast-room: too much noise in the morning! We'd come back there, but definitely ask for a different chamber.

The hotel is located 5 minutes from the train or bus station, which is great. The breakfast is fair. Rooms need to be remodeled.I´ve been to this hotel 12 years ago and it was wonderful. Now it looks like nobody is caring.

The hotel very close to the train station, but a bit difficult to find. We passed it without noticing due to irregular numbering. We were pleasantly surprised by the small size. The elevator was quite small, but workable. The location was well worth it. We walked to everything and found it was the perfect place to be. We discovered a wonderful pizzeria restaurant right down from the hotel that was so good we returned there the following two nights. Next time we go back, we would stay at the ALinari again.

The hotel is located on the top floor, the receptionist was very nice and helpful. While the room was small, it didn't matter since you don't spend much time in the room. My single room (156) had a balcony that overlooked the inside of the courtyard. The shower does overflow if you take a long shower. The hotel is very nicely situated next to the train station and a nice breakfast was available in the mornings. Everyone was really helpful and I would go back again!

From Thomas Piazza - USA

Convenient to train station but not the best area of town. Room was decent size and clean. Bathroom on the small side - hairdryer different from anything I'd ever seen. Breakfast was good. The breakfast staff were very friendly and eager to please and breakfast was good. Front desk staff were not at all friendly or helpful. Some construction noise morning until late evening. Lift very small and unreliable. If the interior doors were not closed when last person got off, it would not operate. Overall, would consider staying here again.
