Good breakfast. Aircondition is turned off in the winter time, so it is bad air ventilator in the rooms. Clean rooms. Strange that you have to pay for eggs in breakfast.

Breakfast is good. Over average as breakfasts in Italy, but I find it weird that you have to pay for scramble eggs or a omelette. Rooms are old, but clean. The whole hotel could benefit from some renovation.

Excellent location next to the National Museum, RC Lido train station, Gelato Cesare, and the promenade. Only about 10 minute walk to the ferry port. Hotel had an excellent breakfast with many choices (muesli, fruit, yogurt, boiled eggs, ham and cheese, pastries, and even granita with brioche, among other options. They also had an excellent dinner menu. Rooms were clean and comfortable (AC helpful). I would stay here again.
