Rough Guide
"Originally a pilgrim hostel, this fourteenth-century building, reached via a stairway down from close to San Domenico church, offers great-value and remarkably peaceful accommodation."
Frommer's
"With a great perk, city-view balconies in many rooms. Breakfast is included, but it’s a bit monastic and you may want to walk up the hill and enjoy a cappuccino in the Campo." Full review

Rough Guide
"Thirteen small, plain but air-conditioned en-suite rooms up steep stairs, in a very central location; those at the front overlook Piazza Indipendenza, but it’s much quieter at the back."
Lonely Planet
"The bathrooms are tiny, some rooms are noisy and there is a steep staircase to contend with, but the central location of this friendly, cheap and well-run option certainly compensates." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, this family-run mountain chalet was opened in 1957 by Annie and Ernesto Costa, who still live on the third floor"
