Hotel Centrale Byron

I really enjoyed staying at the hotel Centrale Byron as the reception staff was very welcoming, helpful and multilingual. Even the cleaning lady was cheerful which made me feelvery welcome. The hotel’s location in the historic city centre is perfect for exploring the sights, shopping and eating out (the mercato coperto with its bars & restaurants is just around the corner). The train station is a 8-10min walk away. The room was practical & convenient: the furniture was not the most modern but well maintained and there was a desk, a fridge, a haidryer and a small tv. The bath room was tiny and I had to wiggle around the door to reach the sink. But everything was sparkling clean. My single room had a proper small single bed — something I only know from Italy. I slept well, though. The only thing that was a bit negative was that you could hear your room neighbours through the walls. Breakfast was served with a choice if cereals, jams, cold cuts & cheeses, breads and croissants as well as real Italian café prepared freshly.

We arrived late and the front desk seemed annoyed. They barely looked up from their computer and didn’t seem to have an interest in answering our questions. The room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the last people left. There was hair in the shower and a thick layer of dust on lamps and fixtures.The mirror in the bathroom also looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. The bed was basically a piece of cardboard. The front desk the next day was incredibly kind and helpful and even held our luggage for us while we went out for the morning. The location is very central and steps away from shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately, it was very dirty.

Location was great. Room was very small and challenging with lots of luggage. Bathroom was very small and a little awkward. Staff were very helpful and it was great being close to the mercato , shops and within reasonable walking distance to many mosaic locations.
