The staff was always available and friendly. The hotel is well located. You reach everything quickly by feet, a carrefour express is in the same street and also the Tram station from/to the airport is close and just straight ahead with 5 minutes. Only thing which I did not like was the breakfast. Real cappuccino etc is a must in Italy. I recommend to close the window because people outside are noisy. But at all I was satisfied.

I saw they had a room available with a view of the duomo. They were right. I was lucky enough to stay in a newer area of the hotel with a renovated room. The room was clean, pretty, and the bathroom was gorgeous. Be prepared to hand your key in to the front desk every time you leave the hotel (we thought that was strange). You need that key to run the electricity in the room so if you’re traveling when it’s super hot, know that the AC won’t be running and cooling the room down while you’re out and about. There’s an elevated patio area outside with a small bar inside that stays open till about midnight. Great option if you’re back from a long day of walking and need a drink with a slight view. The room had a small fridge (can’t fit much but helps for a few small bottles), a kettle to warm water for tea or coffee, and one AC unit z ##### Laurie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel staffs are very nice.

There are three steps to sit down to have breakfast and I slipped and had a bad fall. The staff immediately got me ice but they should really add rugs on steps because several people slipped on the same area. Either than that, the rooms were really clean and staff friendly. ##### Roselyn Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kaylee May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort The staff were friendly and the location of the hotel is great in terms of all the sights to see, great restaurants and cafes around. However there seemed to be an electrical issue in my room where the power turned on and off every couple of minutes. Other than that the breakfast was great and the location is awesome if you’re in Florence for a short amount of time. ##### Kaylee Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### William Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel with breakfast. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### FEDERICA Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good location, very good position in the center of the city ##### FEDERICA Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MICHELLE Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great central location.
