Concierge "A takeover by Spanish hotel group NH has brought the place up to international standards, forfeiting some of its individuality in the process."
DK Eyewitness "While the current building dates from 1500, documents confirm that a hotel stood here as early as 1386, making this one of Italy’s oldest hotels."
Rough Guide "It retains something of its old ambience while the rooms have been fitted out in crisp but luxuriously modern style."

Let's Go "Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies." Full review
