Hotel Palazzo Brunamonti

Centrally located on main street near the lovely central square of town. Unprepossessing big building with many levels and stairs, but the spacious and decoratively painted (frescoed?) breakfast room reveals its former grandeur. Small bedroom like a monk’s cell: wrought iron bedstead with hard mattress; badly sited loo; sink with no plug. St Frances would have felt very much at home. Very modest breakfast. A nice Brazilian couple manage the hotel

Well it seems to be aiming for ok and just about achieving it. Not without charm but its a bit sad. Room a bit shabby and a little grimy but ok. Mattress ok but noticeably flimsy. Some marks on walls and bashed up furniture and a bit dusty. The breakfast room was worse with very patchy skirting and dirty floor. Was a dangerous step down going in to the room - Watch out! Did spot a warning notice but it was past the door on the far side as you approach and not very visible. Obviously budgeting: No bath mat. Only one pillow. Breakfast adequate. The fruit selection of a slightly green orange, a squishy grape, a half picked at bunch of grapes and couple of apples was tragic. I wouldn’t mind that the coffee was from a machine but it was really terrible coffee. I didn’t drink it and got one down the street instead for €1.10 - i would recommend that. Someone elsewhere in the hotel had a bad cough. My room was really not sound proof and the echoing coughs set a miserable atmosphere. The coffered ceiling in the room was beautiful and some of the frescos too. I did manage to fix the bell at reception whilst waiting for service although only balanced together so not sure for how long.
