Michelin Guide
"lf luck is on your side, you may get one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the Duomo. You can always retire to the lovely reading room or the little chapel (access on the second floor)."

Ask for a "room with a view"!
Rough Guide
"Originally a pilgrim hostel, this fourteenth-century building, reached via a stairway down from close to San Domenico church, offers great-value and remarkably peaceful accommodation."
Frommer's
"With a great perk, city-view balconies in many rooms. Breakfast is included, but it’s a bit monastic and you may want to walk up the hill and enjoy a cappuccino in the Campo."
