The rooms were very clean and the staff attentive, though the hotel needs some attention regarding structural maintenance. There is a musty, stale smell. The breakfast is too simple. However, everything was very clean. The location is excellent.

Very nice hotel, good location

I chose this hotel based on its proximity to some of the landmarks in Firenze. There are many shops and restaurants near the hotel and everything in Firenze is walkable from here. The hotel is very nice and we enjoyed the breakfast, specially the different and fresh pastries every day.
