Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Casci

Small and quaint, Hotel Casci is more known for it’s excellent location and storied history than it’s not-so-lavish rooms. Located in a 15^th and 16^th century complex that was once home to the famous composer Gioachino Rossini as well as noblemen and holy men, the building was officially converted to a hotel back in 1926. Today, this budget-friendly abode is ideal for families and groups of mates who want cheap and easy access to the city’s best sites without any fuss.

room

Simple, and slightly dated rooms are clean and come with the essentials: air conditioning, flat screen TVs, multi-plug adapters, and safety boxes for any valuables. No design contests being won here, but you won’t feel icky after your stay – which is nice. Triple and quad rooms are great for larger groups and families.

The hotel has same day laundry service in case you need a quick wash of your duds.

bathroom

The bigger the bedroom the greater the bathroom here. On the higher end, you’ll find Jacuzzi style tubs (without the jets) and bidets. All rooms have towel heaters (work in winter only).

lobby

The lobby is just a check-in area without much to speak of.

dining

Off the lobby is the breakfast room where you’ll be treated to glorious original frescoes on the ceiling while you mash on unlimited croissants and yogurt. The breakfast is from 7:30-10 am and the coffee is worthy of waking up for.

drinking

There’s a small coffee shop off the lobby where guests can buy cheap cocktails and wine while lounging on the maroon banquet against the wall. Look up here as well to find more original frescoes.
