Very nice hotel, there's a lot going on. the room was clean, except for the bed sheet which had a blood stain. the staff is friendly, the only maintenance is very slow. they were supposed to come in 10 minutes, but realistically it took him a good hour to come and look at the electrical problem in the room. very nice view on the terrace with the pool. good cocktails and very friendly service. the journey to the city center takes approximately 20 minutes on foot. Nice location.

The hotel was great and clean and a nice size. This is a unique hotel and it’s also for students. They have a restaurant which was not to bad but expensive. We did eat there multiple times and the chicken burger and the cheeseburger were good, I enjoyed the chicken club sandwich it was very good. This hotel is a bit like Hogwarts lol they had a community kitchen and a rooftop bar and pool. We did use the laundry facilities, you must download the app in order to use the laundry machines. Was in a great location close to the tram and not to far from the central train station. We walked almost everywhere. We used this location so we could hop and trains to different places we wanted to see like Pisa and Verona. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel if your in 20s-30s.  Rey modern, incredible vibe, extremely friendly staff. Great rooftop pool and bar. That said, the rooms are TINY and barely fit the bed. The shower is literally 2ftx2ft and I had to T-Rex it. For couples in their 40s+, either get the biggest suite they have or stay elsewhere. If your 20’s-30’s, you’ll LOVE this place!
