The staff, especially Alina made our stay exceptional. We almost overlooked this hotel because Expedia‘s site was not prioritizing this amazing place. Location was also very convenient.

Great walkable location near main attractions. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. A small hotel with breakfast included that suits a one- or two-night stay in Florence. Paid parking is just steps away.
