Lovely single night stay for family of four. Staff were lovely and welcoming, breakfast was continental style but everyone ate something. Room was large and the bathroom was well sized with great smelling shower gel and shampoo. Would recommend and revisit again! Handy for the station and a short walk into the city centre.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

What a lovely little gem! We stayed here for one night, as we toured Italy as a family of 4. The hotel was close to the Firenze Santa Maria, an easy walk, even with luggage. Close by there were several places to eat, drink and buy essentials. The hotel was beautiful, very clean, spacious and well equipped. Frederica on reception was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We would strongly recommend this hotel to any visitors to Florence, it is easy to find and surrounded by options. The hotel room was clean, beds comfortable, air con kept us nice and cool in the heat of Italy in August. Bathroom was beautiful, lots of helpful accessories provided. Only small downside was no kettle in the room, but plenty of places near by to buy hot drinks. Great stay, great hotel and lovely city.

Clean room, staff was nice and location was perfect. Only complaint is the room is small, however it was for a good cost. Loved the filtered water on the first floor too!

Nice room with very comfortable bed. Only problem was a low water pressure in the sink and shower. Small bathroom. Good breakfast. Good location.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very nice, spacious and well maintained by staff with two exceptions: - the AC is centrally managed and the duct points directly at the heads of people in both beds at night. This results in the need to contact staff to turn down or completely off the AC at night for some (like my family had to do) - the double shower had a drain that would back up if both showers ran high volumes of water.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with very friendly reception staff, and the location is excellent - easy to access everything nearby. Unfortunately, the room itself was a letdown. It was extremely small, with a very uncomfortable bed, making it difficult to relax. While the bathroom was modern and visually appealing, it lacked basic practicality - there was no space to put a toiletry bag and not even a hook to hang towels or clothing. Overall, despite the great location and service, the room felt cramped and uncomfortable, which impacted the stay.
