Near to Firenze SMN Station. Lots of eateries outside the hotel, including McDonald's, Burger King, KFC. Long balcony with view of a dome, not sure whether it's the Duomo. Counter staff were professional and helpful. Room was clean and neat. Good room rates.

This hotel is located at a convenient location, very close to the train station. The property overall is older and needs more lighting inside the rooms. Very few towels are given and you have to return the room key to the front desk when you leave during the day and retrieve it when you return to the property.

The hotel was so convenient to visit friends and all the tourist attractions. The staff were absolutely fantastic and so friendly. The single room was ideal and had everything that i needed with a lovely comfy bed and excellent bathroom. Would definitely recommend to my family and friends and when I visit again will definitely stay at this wonderful hotel.

It’s a decent hotel that’s conveniently located within walking distance of train station. The room was spacious but bath room was congested. I wish they had extra pillows in the room. Overall I think the stay was okay with a family of 2 kids.

We needed a close place to stay for one night after our train ride. It was close to the rail station and reception was excellent and accommodating. In the morning, all I wanted was a cup of coffee and they were so sweet to make one for me. I enjoyed a few moments of quietness and let my daughter continue her sleep in our room. We were allowed to leave luggage for the day while we checked out some sights. They even called a taxi for us and made us feel important! Thank you!

Ok, I have mixed feelings about this hotel, while the location and breakfast options were good, the condition of the rooms and elevator were poor. You can easily hit your head with the sink when you sit on the toilet. The elevator is mostly busy by the cleaning crew. At the entrance, there is no lift for the luggages so you have to pick up your bags for like 10 stairs and no one helps. But the location is very convenient, close to train station and taxies as well as doumo and others

Very clean, good breakfast, good bed. One of the electric sockets was broken and it's very noisy. I can sleep next to a construction site, but if you're a light sleeper, you might have trouble. I heard the machines cleaning the streets at night, construction sites, and bell towers in the morning, and the person next door every time they opened the faucet. Good location, near the station. A bit far from the centre and dark at night, but it was cheaper than others in the area of Santa Maria Novella.

Booked a balcony room with a cathedral view. To my amazement there were no chairs or table on the balcony . I asked the hotel about them and was told they are not provided as they don’t want people on the balconies . I feel the advertising picture misrepresents the use of the balconies . It shows a view of the Duomo out of an opened balcony window with a breakfast in the foreground . This to me intimates it would be brilliant to have your breakfast on the balcony looking at the Cathederal
Misrepresentation ?
Balcony minus table and chairs showing size of balcony
As above looking back at the room
Night time view we were looking to enjoy at night on the balcony

Room was small for 2 adults and 1 teenager. Breakfast was supposed to be included but charged. No amenities. Sheets dirty. Room dusty. No air, must open windows to have circulating air in such small quarters. Area too noisy with windows open. There are plenty of dining options in area though and 3 min walk to train station.

Hotel convenient to railway station. Getting to certain tourists attractions challenging at times. Would suggest you get a detailed map of city. Streets names change frequently. Short walk to laundry store front. Suggest you buy attraction tickets online. There is a very limited number of power outlets in room. Had to use the outlet for the TV to charge our electronics. Continental breakfast was convenient before you leave for your daily travels.
