Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and key sights in Florence. The rooms, while clean, are a bit small and the furniture appears worn. The service from the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast offers a good variety but lacks some options. The hotel is a safe and lovely choice for exploring Florence.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although a bit chilly when the heating was off. I particularly enjoyed the nice balcony and the high standards of comfort. The service was top-notch, with staff members being very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, being minutes away from the train station and the city center. The dining experience was good, with tasty options available. The facilities were satisfactory, meeting my needs during my stay.
The hotel is located right next to the busy street, offering spacious and very clean rooms, though they could use more lighting. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who even welcomed me with freshly made cappuccino and expresso. The location is ideal within walking distance to major attractions, but unfortunately, it is plagued by a mosquito problem. The dining options were good overall, although breakfast started a bit late. Facilities were well-maintained and convenient for my stay.
The hotel is conveniently located for exploring the city center with most attractions within walking distance. The rooms are cozy but a bit dark, yet perfect for a good night's rest. The service is top-notch with friendly and efficient staff. The dining experience offers a variety of excellent local produce but might not suit early risers. Overall, a great value for money stay with minor room lighting issues.
