    The room needs to be renovated. Both the fridge and the air conditioner work bad.

    Friendly and helpful staff, breakfast is delicious. Not far from main attractions, can be reached by bus/tram or on foot.

    A comfortable accommodation for last night in Florence before morning airport departure.

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Room could have more space for 2 people. Would have been nice to use our TV if English was available when viewing movies.

    Location was very good to explore Florence one more night before airport departure in the morning. It was so nice of staff to carry our luggage up the steps in entrance and back down for cab in the morning. Appreciated staff calling cab in the morning for airport and cab arrival in minutes. Our room was very clean.

    The location…far enough away of all the hustle and bustle of the tourist but close enough to walk everywhere. The room as well as the whole hotel was just spotless. All the employees we met were friendly, courteous and polite. Loved the honeycomb in the breakfast buffet. Also loved the cappuccino that were made fresh and on demand. Would definitely stay there again if ever in Florence again and would and will recommend to my friends and family.

    I cant really say anything that I didnt like. To be honest, the hotel provided a very good service in every aspect.

    Breakfast was excellent, they had everything one would expect and for every taste. Compared to other hotels, above avereage at least. The rooom had a good size and the location, not being right in the historic center of Florence, was within a walking distance from it. Didnt need to use taxi or other transportation method.

    The hotel was under construction which caused a constant trouble with our sleep during afternoon hours due to the trembling walls and the loud workers.

    The majority of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice and the facilities really good. The room was also great with a large bed. The neighborhood quiet with lovely cafes nearby.

    The air conditioning/heating system is so incredibly loud you can't sleep or be in the room while it's on. The shower has a fixed faucet which is pretty unpractical if you're not a huge basketball player.

    The location is great, very close to center, 15 minute walk, the tram station is just a few steps away, too, and for a cost of one ride 1.70eur you're in the center in no time. The hotel is clean, the stuff is very nice.

    The breakfast spread was good but could have included more fresh fruits and vegetarian options

    Really good location close to the center of the city. Was easily accessible due to the tram station close by. The old part of the city was also within a walking distance of a couple of kilometers. The hotel had very spacious, well maintained rooms and helpful staff.

    Would stay here again if we came back to Florence. Good value for the money.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room with Balcony Ground Floor
    • Stayed 1 night

    Bedroom furniture a bit worn and felt dated. Due to one-way streets and traffic flows, hotel location a bit tricky to find the first time (definitely avoid trying to find it in the dark: having a good functioning GPS system helps)

    Generous and diverse breakfast offerings, bed very comfortable and bedroom very quiet, very helpful front-desk staff, located near to one of the tram lines and right near the edge of the ZTL, so walking into old-town takes little time. For some really good pizza, try Penta Bistrot three blocks away.
