A great, clean room in a brilliant location in Florence. Close to the train station for easy transport options and also close to the main major sites of Florence. Lots of great food options and shops nearby. Lovely, quiet room, appeared to be recently renovated which was lovely.

The breakfast menu was standard and the breakfast room was cramped and not pleasant or relaxing. The neighborhood was vibrant and fun with lots of shops and restaurants. The staff was pleasant and helpful with directions and travel questions. We had a problem with the shower which didn’t get resolved before our stay ended.

Breakfast was good. Staff very helpful and allowed an early checkin.
We were on the 4th floor and could hear our neighbors through the walls - yes it was a family, so no harm as the kids were having fun. All in all it was a great location to everything and we enjoyed our short stay in Florence!

Hotel was well located near the train station and in the heart of the city historical area. Lots of activity around with nice restaurants, stores, etc. Mattresses were a bit hard, but room was good overall.

Oldish room, very small bathroom, noisy from street activities. Very good location close to the train station, restaurants and Duomo and other museums.
I recommand this hotel for the location, a plus since you don’t have to carry your suitcase far. Lots of restos close by so is the market for great lunches.
