Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
this property inside the hotel room was extremely dirty. While the surface appeared clean when I drew back the fitted sheets, they were stains all over the mattress. On top of that there was very little toiletries in there. The door will not lock. The carpet and I use that word loosely on the stairs was coming up and half of it was missing. There was tape that they used on the stairs. This is not a three star property. This is a two star at best. The one good thing about this property was the view from my room as I saw the top of the cathedral. For the price it is not worth what you're paying. I didn't even stay the whole time. I left out of concerns for my own safety and cleanliness. The staff was cordial but cold. The area, however, was convenient for walking the sites

Hotel ester is conveniently located beside the train station, which is exactly what I needed. The area around the building is not quiet, but that is expected. There was a grocery store nearby, which was great. The duomo was only a short walk away. The hotel room was clean and well maintained. The bathroom walls were the only ones that might need maintenance at some point, due to moisture buildup over time. Overall a nice convenient location.

Great small hotel in an excellent location. One can walk to Duomo in under 5 minutes and 15 to all other main attractions. The main train station is just two minutes away waling. The staff are super friendly, kind, and helpful. The room itself was very spacious and so was the bathroom. Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The good: Easy access to trains, tram to airport, easy walk to most of the tourist spots, and a lot of food and drink around the hotel. The bad: Room was nothing like the pictures posted and had a musty smell. View from room was the other side of the building with almost no sunlight. Entrance to the building feels like a garage. Overall hotel has more of the feel of a hostel than a hotel. Have been to Florence before and in the same price range you can find a nicer place.
