the supposed spa bath, oh surprise, took an eternity to fill. more shocking, the door was a rusty metal fortress, not exactly my idea of luxury. I almost considered complimenting them, but then I remembered I was treated like a regular guest. No one offered even a bottle of water as a courtesy, how rude!

What makes it worth it – and what doesn’t

Our room offered stunning views and the breakfast was deliciously convenient, served in the comfort of our suite, allowing us to savor it at our own pace.

Finding the hotel was a challenge due to poor signage, and noise from outside was disturbing at times.

1 Castle view room
2 Comfortable big room
3 Friendly staff

1 Limited breakfast options
2 Noise from streets

superb access to parks and popular landmarks

my junior suite with a stunning castle view made my stay memorable, and the friendly staff were full of great recommendations for nearby attractions like the vibrant San Carlo Theatre just a short walk away, providing the perfect blend of comfort and exploration in the heart of the city.

Oh man, the burger joint down the street—La Lazzara Trattoria e Pizzeria—had some of the juiciest, mouthwatering burgers I've had. Plus, the room was surprisingly clean and spacious despite some hiccups.

Getting to the place was a bit of a scavenger hunt with only a small sign to guide us, and the shower's waterfall feature didn't quite work as planned.

The room had a stunning castle view, but finding the hotel was challenging.

location within walking distance to many tourist attractions, modernized bathroom fittings, clean accommodations

The view from the window failed to meet expectations, only overlooking a random backstreet. Lack of essential items like an iron is a hassle!!!

All fine, but breakfast cold

I truly enjoyed my stay at Carten. The room with a spectacular castle view provided a beautiful backdrop to my trip. The breakfast was delightful, featuring a variety of options delivered right to my door, allowing for a relaxing start to the day.

The shower had inconsistent hot water.

We enjoyed our stay in a cozy room with an amazing view! The highlight was visiting Molo Beverello Port, where we took a lovely family boat trip. The staff went out of their way, providing useful local tips and ensuring our little one was entertained.

In my wife’s opinion, extra amenities for kids would be great.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the in-room breakfast option made mornings delightful. The location was perfect—right by the metro stop and major attractions.

The signage for finding the place could be better. it was somewhat challenging at first.

The room with a castle view was spacious and included an impressive ensuite bathroom with a Jacuzzi. Staff were exceptionally friendly, providing recommendations and assistance without being asked. However, the whirlpool had issues with loose parts, and hot water was inconsistent from the shower. The breakfast selection was enjoyable but served in a limited manner rather than as a buffet.

Great 24-hour security and loved the relaxing head massage. No luggage storage, though.

The location is superb, just steps from major attractions, and the room was comfortable with a pleasant hot tub. Breakfast in the room was a nice touch, although it could use more variety. Overall, a cozy stay with minor room issues.
