The hotel is located in a good area near the major sites in the city. For the price is worth it, only complaint is that we hardly saw any staff in the hotel but then again we didn't really have a need for them.

Perfect spot for exploring Florence
Perfect location in the heart of Florence, offering a chilled solace from the hot weather.
Our room had a little balcony which was great for the evening, and the room was very comfy for 2 people exploring the city.

Great option for holiday or conferences
Clean and comfortable room close to SMN and Duomo. With a supermarket and restaurants just steps away, you can get meals easily! It was also 10min away from Fortezza da Basso.

The room was definitely not cleaned. There were markings all over the walls. The mattress was super uncomfortable, felt like we were sleeping on a piece of plywood. The pillows were very thin.we found a “heavier” blanket in a drawer and it smelled like it hadn’t been washed in ages. The host who checked us in was friendly and the location was very central.

Check in was easy. Hotel is in a great location, so close to Duomo, shopping and great places to eat. There’s a nice coffee shop with a great cappuccino right across the street. We arrived by car, but decided to park in a bigger parking lot fifteen min away. Our room for four people was spacious and it was great to have an air conditioning in a hot July. The room was clean and bathroom was nice. There was some street noice at night, but in no fault of the hotel. Would come back again.

Great location! This hotel gave us easy access to many attractions in Florence and some of the best restaurants were close by. The common area was convenient, had some fresh drinking water and a kettle.
The staff at reception could be better - they close at 8pm and when we reached there at 7.50, they had already locked up the elevator and were ready to leave. The elevator inside Centro is not on 8pm-6am - they should really keep that elevator running 24/7.

Very central location. 10 minute walk from the Main station and only a 5 minute walk to the Duomo . Florence is very small and walkable .
Quirky check in and key arrangements. They give you 4 keys all for different doors in and out . Strange lift arrangements as well and Reception is not manned 24/7 but you can ring for them should you need them .
We were disappointed not to find either a safe or a kettle in the room but the price is good f considering the location.

It was exactly what I needed: affordable, clean & safe. Not fancy, I could hear some noise from other guests & occasional revelers in the street, but it didn’t bother me. 10 min walk to the train station, and easy access (2-to-15 minute walks) to museums, restaurants, shopping, the river.
The front desk is not attended 24/7, so don’t expect full service all day (questions, reservations, luggage storage). I’m not sure, but some rooms may have a shared bathroom- I booked one specifically for a private bathroom.

The location was excellent you can walk to all major sites. The rooms were comfortable and staff very helpful. If you have problems climbing stairs this is not the place for you. I had no issues with the stairs but I know some people might.

Location is absolutely wonderful. Very central to everything we needed in our 2 night stay. The room is big enough for our family of 4, but not a lot of extra room. That was no problem, though, since they have a decent sized cafeteria, with all glasses, mugs, utensils, plates, wine bottle opener, etc that we could possibly need. There is only instant coffee provided there, but a large selection of tea. There are 2 additional bathrooms in the common area, which we used to brush teeth while one of us showered in the room. There is also a nice seating area with books in the common area. We were allowed to store our luggage there after checkout until time to head to train station. We felt very safe there. And while we heard street noises, the walls shared between our room and other rooms were soundproof. We would stay there again.
Note: You DO need to contact the hotel in advance to give an estimate arrival time. We found this is completely normal in Italy. You will also need to show passports for all guests. Also completely normal in Italy. The receptionist is there normally 8:00am-20:00pm, but she also cleans the rooms, so not always standing at the front. She is around though.

Good location on street with dining options and super market right next door. Room was ok, a bit dated. ac worked fine. TV channels were hit or miss. Wifi was not very strong in my room so loses points there. I did like the common room which we have access to for eating, eletric kettle etc. Staff was nice. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5 for me.
