This is a great bargain. The simple rooms are filled with antiques, the bathrooms are tiny but modern, and it's smack in the heart of Shopping Country. Ask for a room on the back. This gets our vote for best bargain, but only on the first floor, where the rooms have been beautifully renovated. This is a jewel, but it has only 12 rooms, so reserve far in advance.
Bathrooms are minuscule but modern and there's a very friendly staff.
The hotel is large and frequented by tour groups, but the rooms are nice. The Senato is two steps away from the latter, much more comfortable and has a wonderful staff, unlike the rude, arrogant personnel at the Sole. We like the Hotel Tirreno. Now that the high season in Italy is approaching, the room rates will no doubt increase. Again, I chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station.
