A little like Charles Jarrott's Lost Horizon of 1973, this Shangri-la was somewhat difficult to locate. But once found it does not disappoint. A boutiques hotel sitting centrally on Via Toledo and next to Galleria Umberto, you actually look out into the Galleria through your room window. Step out and within 50 steps you are swept away by the human current of this ever bustly shopping district.
But good location is just one facet of this gem. The rooms are spacious by European standard. It has a good size shower cubicle. A bidet is a surprise and welcome inclusion.
The ever polite and seeking-to-please reception staff are second to none in providing directions, local knowledge and wise tips.
The included breakfast is not opulent but a welcome wholesome meal after you have had too much of the decadent treats on Via Toledo and wanted to slow down a bit. The breakfast staff are also ever obliging, fulfilling custom coffee requests and providing take-away services such as when they gave us two huge bags of food for the road when we rushed to catch the ferry to Positano.
If your expectations aren't over the top, Shangri-la is what you get when you stay with them.
