Lost glory
Location is great, a very short walk straight down from the main railway station, but also the minimum charge with a taxi if you are tired/with heavy luggage. however, the student union next door attracts young people to sit on the river arno bank late at night and the heavy traffic keeps you up, too. sound proofing and pipes are original, i guess. staff should come to help you with the room key first time, because you won't manage it yourself. reception staff very helpful, but the town map has been copied since the time of telefax and is illegible. first the bathroom light was broken and once after no.2 the toilet lid had been closed, but the toilet not cleaned - very unpleasant after a +40c day. cannot keep the bathroom window open because of pigeons. the same african boy seems to do all the serving jobs, an asian girl at the reception and a russian(?) lady working at the breakfast kitchen alone - saving on staff? but, there is certain character at the hotel that cannot be created - it just is there, but in a slightly sad, lost world way.
