The hotel offers comfortable rooms with extra beds for families and patios for relaxation. The service is excellent with efficient room service and housekeeping. Its location near popular attractions makes it very convenient, but the dining options are limited. A great value for money stay with good facilities.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with its great location near the town center and main attractions of Florence. The rooms were cozy, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a good value for money choice.
The hotel offers rooms with excellent facilities including a lovely little terrace and a bath. The service provided was top-notch, but room service could have been improved.

The hotel has a great location, very close to the city center and everything you need. The rooms are comfortable with lovely little terraces, but an extra bed would have been appreciated. The service is efficient with room service available, but the housekeeping could be improved. The dining options are limited to baguettes, which may not suit all guests. The facilities are basic yet functional, offering a decent stay overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, but the extra bed felt a bit used. The bath was a nice touch. The service was lacking in some areas but room service and housekeeping were on point. The location was convenient, being close to the railway station, but the tram tracks nearby made the room noisy at times. The handmade pasta was a delightful dining highlight. The facilities were good overall, but lacking in some aspects.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with excellent facilities and a bathtub in the room. However, the used bed was a bit of a downside.

I couldn't be happier with my stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely, the service was outstanding, and the location was just perfect. However, I wish the dining options were a bit more varied. The facilities were excellent, and the price was reasonable for what I got.

The hotel is a gem in the heart of the city with exceptional service and spacious rooms. The dining experience was delightful, although some facilities need updating. Excellent value for money overall.
I was pleasantly surprised by how convenient the hotel's location was, being so close to the main train station in amazing Florence. The room, while showing signs of use on the bed, had an extra bed which was a nice touch and a relaxing bath to unwind in. However, having plugs everywhere for charging devices made it so convenient. The service, unfortunately, was below par, leaving much to be desired in terms of room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and even a welcome drink. On the bright side, they did offer tours/ticket assistance. Dining was impressive with locally caught fish being a delightful treat. Overall, for the price paid, it was a decent value for money.
