Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Room Mate Luca enjoys a fantastic location, approximately a 10-minute walk from the cathedral and close to attractions, with a tram stop offering direct links to the airport just a short distance away. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and some guests have found the rooms spacious, especially for three people, and super clean. Breakfast receives high praise for its amazing options, and while most found it satisfactory, a few guests felt it lacked some deliciousness. many consider it a good value for the price.

I found the location convenient with easy access to major attractions and public transport. Breakfast had amazing options and the staff ensured i had everything needed. I also appreciated the valet parking service. It was worth the cost considering the location.

The street outside could be a bit noisy at times, especially during the early morning hours. It slightly affected my sleep.

inconsistent stay, at best.

noisy streetuncomfortable bed

the noise was a real issue. i was right next to the street, and it seemed like the buses were parked in my room! the bed wasn't great either, so i never got a solid night's sleep. i think i'll remember that more than anything. it's a shame because otherwise, things were alright, but those two things kind of soured the experience.

Acceptable Location, but Several Disappointments

The location was acceptable and within walking distance of many attractions.

The room was quite small. The shower was also tiny. I almost couldn't fit inside. The noise from the street was constant, made sleeping difficult, despite the double glazing in the room. (I ended up buying earplugs at a local store.)

the location is indeed convenient, close to many attractions and a bus stop is located nearby.

this made the room uncomfortably warm, and opening the windows brought in mosquitoes. the shower was also quite small. I found it difficult to move around in it.
