  <body>From
the train station, head north a block to Corso Italia and turn left
(west), continue past the Piazza Tasso. Look for the Hotel del Corso
arch on the right (north) side of the street. Once you found that,
directly across the street are steps that lead to the B&amp;amp;B, you'll
notice the small sign by then. Go to the main door on the left, ring
them, tell them you have a reservation and they'll let you in the
building. Go up the stairs about 3 floors. There is a lift for luggage.&lt;p&gt;The
owners live on the top floor and have a phone on the floor with the
rooms in case you need them for anything. They were all super-friendly.
One of the owners spoke the most English, the other just a little. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
room and bathroom were larger than our last (in Rome) and the bed was
also (a king bed). The bed was not comfortable, however, it was very
firm. There was a desk, armour, and small TV in our room. The bathroom
had a hair dryer, but I blew a fuse when I used it. The fuse box is in
the room by the door, so you can turn it back on. I opted not to use it
after that. The shower only provided enough hot water for one at a
time, so I took a shower in the morning and my husband took his at
night and we were fine. We were introduced to the thin, non-terry
towels at this hotel and had them at the majority of our hotels after
this stay. There was also a bidet in the bathroom here. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
location of the hotel was great, right on the main street of Corso
Italia. Because of the location, however, there was some noise. There
were a lot of younger kids (tourists) while we were there that would
get together and walk up and down the street and yell at each other.
We had earplugs and shut the window when we needed to, which muffled
the noise. Since we were there in the fall, it stayed pretty cool in
the room. Another noisy nuisance was the main door to the building. It
always slammed shut very loudly. We usually tried to close it quietly,
but not everyone is as considerate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hotel gave us coupons
for breakfast, which was available at Bar Danielle during our stay. The
coupon was for a croissant and a coffee (we always had cappuccino).
There was a fruit stand next to the bar, where we bought fruit to
supplement our breakfast. We usually spent 2 Euros for 3 or 4 pieces of
fruit. The bar had 4 small tables outside to sit at (for free) if you
wanted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a
room in the heart of town at a reasonable price (great price during our
stay!) and close to the train station.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
