Stayed at the Castri in April of 2008. The staff was pleasant enough, but the rooms looked like a cheap motel. This hotel is in bad need of a rehab. The furniture, the fixtures, and the carpets, all worn, cheap and sometimes broken. Don't spend too much on this place. For tightwads only. The breakfast was decent, though. Rolls, cornetti,... more

This hotel was disgusting! It was dirty, smelly & run down. The carpet was dirty & stained. The timber shutters were rotting, the walls were shabby. The bathroom was small with a revolting shower curtain & the floor easily flooded. The linen towels (more like over sized tea towels) were useless. A foul smell resembling cheap hair cream pervaded everything... more

There appears to be two types of rooms in this hotel – one type which I can only rate as disgusting and the other type which is lovely. We arrived with an open mind after reading these reviews, having booked a double room with “city/garden views”. We were first checked into a room with 2 single beds and a view... more

Just returned from having stayed at the Hotel Castri for 4 nights. The hotel is very centrally situated. 5/10 minute walk from the main station and the Duomo and a stone's throw from the local market. Was a bit perturbed after I had booked the rooms and then read some of these reviews. To be honest for what we paid,... more

The person that says "Avoid it like the plauge" is absolutely right. The hotel was filthy, and the staff was about as far from helpful as you can imagine. We checked in, went to our room and decided sleeping in the car was a better option- the bathroom was filthy, the room was covered in dirt. We told the front... more

We arrived at Castri to find an average looking entrance with a single car space outside. This would turn out to be the highlight of our stay. This is a hotel that seems to take absolutely no pride whatsoever in any aspect of its tenure. It is stripped to the bone, catering to the lowest possible level of acceptability. The... more

Okay, so a lot of websites are rating this (and in fact the Italian... hotel board? Whoever makes those signs with the stars) is calling this a 3 star hotel. It is NOT. The staff was rude and unfriendly, the room had no heat and they told me basically "too bad" when I said the radiator wasn't working. They started... more

We booked for the price and location. Location is good, 10 minute walk from the core....but that was about the only good thing. We may have just happened upon a really bad room, but it was disgusting! The bathroom reeked and the tub was small and dingy. The carpet was so filthy we couldn't take our shoes off and the... more

Very close ( 5 to 10 minute walk) to the train station and within walking distance of all attractions (e.g. 10 minutes to Duomo). Neighbourhood seems pretty nice - maybe a bit too quiet at night for a traveler, but didn't feel dangerous (we walked back very late one night around midnight after getting lost a bit north of here.... more
