Liked: Staff & service
The staff was nice, especially the girl who served in the breakfast room. She was very friendly with a big smile on her face that made us feel very welcome. The bathroom has a high step up from the room, and the floor is tiled. My husband slipped twice when the floor and his feet were wet, so be careful. The WiFi wasn't working at times. The location is very convenient if you are traveling by train, but the neighborhood doesn't feel clean and safe. Overall, it's just okay if you have a limited budget and are traveling mostly by train. However, next time I would rather spend more to stay at a bigger hotel.

Never got to see the room I reserved. Desiree hotel emailed the day before i was to check in. Making too late to make changes to my plans. Informing me that my entire reservation was being changed. They changed my reservation to a different hotel, and to a room i did not get to select. I would not recommend booking with this hotel.

Hotel Desiree has a great location to view Florence's historical sites. There are a lot of great restaurants within walking distance. The room was comfortable and has air conditioning. The best thing is the very accommodating staff. They were super friendly and always willing to assist in every request. The breakfast every morning was a plus!
