Top Fortezza Castle Hotel Reviews

Ink Hotels House of Europe

8/10 Good

"The location was great! Close to pay parking lot in case you can’t find a spot on the road. We parked the car and walked everywhere. Old Town is great to get “lost” in with plenty of sites you can locate by phone maps. My husband and I are pretty fit so up and down hills, uneven streets and sidewalks was not a problem for us. Staff was very helpful allowing for early check in and holding our luggage until our room was ready. I would have given 5 stars but our shower door track leaked on the floor when in use."
