Many travelers appreciate the charming and cozy ambiance, likening the experience to staying in a museum or an old Italian movie set. Rooms are frequently described as large and airy, often showcasing beautiful, authentic décor that adds to the hotel's unique character.

Despite the nostalgic appeal, reviews indicate that the accommodations at Pensione Rinascente are quite dated with some furnishings appearing worn-out and mismatched. Several guests noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, citing examples like broken mosquito nets, poorly functioning air conditioning and insufficient lighting. The rooms, while spacious, sometimes lacked modern amenities such as hot water and bathroom products and there were occasional problems with room temperature management, particularly during warmer months.

The ambiance is a blend of rustic charm and homely comfort with some rooms providing lovely views of the inner courtyard or cityscape. However, the lack of adequate air conditioning and ventilation can make the rooms uncomfortably hot in the summer. In terms of layout, many rooms are beautifully decorated and inviting, yet others can feel cramped, especially without private bathrooms.

Many guests found the beds to be comfortable, spacious and conducive to a restful night’s sleep. Descriptive phrases like comfortable and big and comfortable beds were frequently highlighted. Guests also appreciated the clean beddings and generally found the bedding to be very clean.

However, not all feedback was favorable. A significant number of guests reported issues such as beds being damp, rundown or equipped with poor-quality and saggy mattresses. There were mentions of old and torn bedspreads and some guests encountered bedbugs, which significantly detracted from their stay. Complaints about pillows being very old and in poor condition, as well as bed linens that did not fit properly, were common.

While a few guests felt like little barons sleeping in the older beds and found the experience cozy, more often, reviews pointed out discomfort due to very hard, wobbly or lumpy mattresses. Add to this the high and narrow beds and it seems the quality and condition of the beds varied greatly across different rooms.

In summary, while some found Pensione Rinascente’s beds to be comfortable and clean, others had a decidedly less positive experience, citing outdated, uncomfortable and sometimes unhygienic bedding conditions.

Several guests highlighted dirt in the bathrooms, including hairs in the shower and dirty toilets. The common areas, especially the carpets, were described as worn out and visibly dirty. Problems in maintaining hygiene, such as unclean beds with bugs, dusty furniture and evidence of previous guests, were also cited.

The state of shared facilities appeared to be a significant drawback with showers and toilets often reported as outdated and not adequately cleaned. Broken fixtures and a general run-down appearance of the property were other common points of criticism.

Overall, while Pensione Rinascente has the potential to offer a pleasant stay with its cleanliness and central location, it faces considerable challenges in maintaining consistent hygiene standards across all its accommodations and facilities.
