The old and stained carpets, dirty walls, grimy curtains and smelly carpets have left a negative impression. Bathrooms with peeling fixtures and insufficient maintenance further diminish the perceived quality. The issue of poor hygiene extends to dirty bedsheets and a lack of thorough cleaning in both rooms and public areas. The hotel appears to suffer from significant neglect, leading to a disappointing stay for many guests.

Despite these isolated incidents, the overall tone regarding staff is highly positive. The daily effort in services, like the unexpected linen changes and a clean environment, are additional merits recognized by the guests.
In summary, while some inconsistencies exist, the prevailing sentiment is a warm commendation of Albergo Italia's staff, underlining their key role in making guests' stays pleasant and comfortable.
