Hotel Internazionale

8/10 Good
"Hotel location was great and staff were all fabulous, friendly and helpful. Garden terrace and bar was great. 2 small niggles the bistro food whilst good quality was limited choice (although there are many other eateries within minutes of hotel) and my bathroom was a bit tatty. Clean but fittings worn and over bath shower was only just acceptable. Air con worked!"
