Great boutique hotel in the heart of Little Italy. Just steps away from cafes, rooftop bars and lounges, and some of the best Italian restaurants. The hotel staff were friendly and professional. The rooms were small but decent and could benefit from some upgrades and renovations.
At cafe Italia.
View from the room on 4th floor facing the harbor.

The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere when you walk in is very pretty. The rooms are small, but I didn’t mind. I did think the room cleanliness could be higher since there was dust in the corners of the room… but the bed and bathroom were very clean. The location is prime and walking distance from many amazing restaurants. Overall, a great stay!

Late-night check-in service offered. Super nice front desk. I stayed one night as a woman by myself and felt really safe. It is smack dab in Little Italy, so extremely convenient. In terms of safety, it's full of people during the day until late at night, around 10-11 pm, where it gets pretty quiet. Even then, during the day, the noise doesn't wake you up in the morning. There are a couple of homeless people around, but nothing to worry about. Solid choice!
