Hotel Cortese

I paid about €70 per night and, based on my experience, the value for money is absolutely insufficient. I had chosen the property mainly for its relative proximity to the station, but I did not like the area at all: near the Ballarò market, I found it run-down, unpleasant, and not very reassuring, especially for going out in the evening, as well as lacking restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The room was a big disappointment. The bed was very uncomfortable and the mattress appeared dirty. The room door also had problems: it would get stuck and, to manage to open it, I had to pull it toward me every time. The most serious problem occurred when the power went out in the building. In my room, no emergency light worked and, without electricity, the air conditioning did not work either. After pointing out that I could not spend the night in those conditions, I was moved to another room. Another unpleasant episode was the air conditioner remote control, which at a certain point could no longer be found. I was asked where I had put it, implying that I might have moved it myself. Subsequently, in the room I had been moved to, I found two remote controls, so evidently the remote control had been moved during the room cleaning. Breakfast was also very disappointing: no buffet, just a small tray with pre-prepared sweet products, no savory alternatives, and coffee and cappuccino from an automatic machine, which I personally found really unpleasant.

Sympathy only not No place to charge your phone They can't speak only Italian Works Elevator broke down and I got stuck after I had to climb 4 floors pe I notified the hotel of my age

The staff is very welcoming and ready to serve us at all hours. The hotel is very old but has been modernized. We spent 3 nights in 2 stays and in the 2 bedrooms we enjoyed the comfort of the beds and the insulation of the double glazing. The bathrooms were small but functional. The value for money brought back to the location 8 minutes walk from Quattro Canti Square is very good. Small elevator very convenient considering the roughness of the first staircase.
