This hotel is installed in the old 18th-century customs house, just a few blocks west of Piazza Castello (and a few blocks east of the wine bars and trattorie around Piazza Em. Filiberto). The hotel's an odd marriage of fading old-fashioned style and bland modernity, the bright and friendly reception giving way to dimly lit corridors with frilly moldings decorating the vaulted high ceilings. If you don’t care to splash out €130 on the “Camera Mozart” where the great composer himself once slept (other illustrious clientele have included Napoleon, Giuseppe Verdi, and a local saint who performed his first miracle cure in a room here), try to snag one of the "Antiche" rooms, which have been left with a splash of style—stucco decorations, crystal chandeliers, herringbone wood floors, and Art Nouveau bed-frames and wardrobes. The "standard" rooms have lower ceilings, modern terrazzo flooring, and insipid function units. Want to save even more? They don’t advertise this fact, but the hotel retains two older rooms without private bathroom, which sell for around €50, breakfast not included.

The price categories for hotels on this site are as follows:
| € | Under €100 |
| €€ | €100–€200 |
| €€€ | Over €200 |
This reflects the lowest cost for a standard double room in low season.
Yes, that does leave a whole lot of wiggle room. Rates will be rather higher for, say, a "superior deluxe" room with a spectacular view at the height of high season. Still, we have to be able to compare somewhere—and using this metric does at least give you a relative sense of how the hotels compare to one another on price.
Since price ranges (€€–€€€) only muddy the issue, I will usually stick to a single designation for each hotel. The only time you will see a range is if a property offers more than one distinct category of lodging—not different types of rooms (many do that), but say a property that offiers, say, both private hotel rooms as well as hostel-like beds in a shared dormitory.
