This hotel is a 3-star in Italy standards, which usually translates to a US 2-star hotel. The two men who ran the hotel didn't speak much English, but they were friendly and we communicated with them just fine. The rooms were clean and spacious enough, and there was an air conditioning box (we were able to use the AC- but they only let you use it if it is VERY hot- it was in the 80's when we were there.) The breakfast was sub-par compared to the other 3-star hotels we stayed at during the trip and consisted of meats, cheeses, packaged biscuits, cereal, coffee, and (warm) milk. However, because we only paid about 40$ for our room we were totally fine with this. The hotel is in a great location in Montecatini, within walking distance to the downtown area, Montecatini Alto, and many great restaurants and shopping areas. Overall a good experience! read more
