Close to the train terminal (walkable) this hotel is older but very nice. The staff was great and there were quite a few places to eat close by. Breakfast buffet was good. The old fashioned elevator was a plus!

Good place for a rest.

Good proximity to the station and walkable to local eateries. Friendly and helpful front desk clerks. Mattress a bit firm and shower small. Continental breakfast was good and staff in breakfast room friendly and helpful!

Very small one room space, narrow bathroom. Considering how busy the area is it was ok for one night stay for a family of five. Staff was kind to keep our luggage when we arrived about 2 hours earlier than the check in time. Breakfast fast was good, nothing fancy though.

Totally good for a short stay in Florence - short walk and easy to find from train station (I arrived very late). 15 mins walk to a lot of the main city centre sights. Staff helpful when asked for information. I enjoyed the cake and coffee breakfast.

I would go there again.

All of the folks were very helpful and courteous. The wifi could have been better but it seemed to be dependent on the time I was using it. It was clean and had been recently renovated.
