This location in Florence made it easy to access trains, the main square and the River. All our amazing restaurant options were within 5 min. The staff cooked a full breakfast with a positive attitude. My college age son and I had an amazing time.
Friendly staff. Beauty room and near to the train station

Excellent location near train and downtown center. Walkable to everything and easy access into the hotel, which is on the 2nd floor only. Rooms were giant. Limited breakfast options but not bad.

Stanza veramente carina, ed il personale molto gentile, nel complesso veramente ottimo hotel, in una strada in cui ci sono molte osterie e negozi, a due passi dalla stazione. Migliorerei un po' la colazione mettendo a disposizione più prodotti, ma buona anche la colazione.
