The room service was exceptional, with prompt and efficient delivery of meals and snacks to my room. Additionally, the hotel offered a variety of convenient amenities, such as car hire and valet parking, making it easy for me to get around town without worrying about transportation.
I also took advantage of the hotel's laundry service, which saved me time and effort during my stay. The paid shuttle service and airport shuttle were convenient options for getting to and from the airport, and the welcome drink upon arrival was a nice touch that made me feel valued as a guest. I was particularly impressed by the pet amenities available, as I was traveling with my furry companion and appreciated the hotel's accommodation for my pet. The tours and ticket assistance provided by the hotel staff were also helpful in planning and booking local excursions, making my stay at the Grand Hotel San Pietro a truly enjoyable and stress-free experience.
