I was traveling solo and needed to stay by the train station for ease of transportation. The hotel is outdated but nice staff and nice breakfast (typical Italian variation of cakes if you like sweets). One thing bathroom is too small and odd. Toilet seat facing shower with very little room. Clearly not designed by professional standards. They offer a bottle of wine per stay but not for the people who are non drinkers!! Would be nicer to replace with a snack.

The room was clean and offered a kettle to make tea or coffee. They also included a Nespresso machine to make espresso in the morning. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had great temperature and pressure. The breakfast spread they offered was also amazing with a lot of variety. I wasn’t able to get the AC to work in the room but the nights were quite cold so we were able to crack the windows to keep the room cozy at night.

As a three adult family travelling together, the larger room option was perfect for us.

Really easy to get to from the train station/airport tram. Room was spacious and beds were comfortable. It was maybe 10 minutes walk from the Duomo, and there were restaurants, cafes and a gelato shop really close. There is also a happy hour at the bar on site, which was a nice surprise.

Breakfast could have been a little better, and the walls between rooms were a little thin so the noise levels is dependent on your neighbours, but overall I would recommend this hotel to others.

Lovely hotel with personality. I actually felt like I was back in time. Excellent location. We walked everywhere. And the train station is around the corner. So we came from Roma by train, walked to the hotel from the station. My 68 yo mother walked that distance with a carry-on, you can do it to :). Everything was clean. Had a safe inside large enough for laptop. We have one queen and one small bed. The small bed was not the most comfortable, but manageable. Air conditioning was working fine and you can control the temperature yourself from inside your room. Hot water, amenities, all there, nice. The restroom door is a sliding door, so is not like a regular door but it does the trick. I might be blind but only could find one electrical outlet. Luckily, I carry a power strip so I could charge, camera, battery, and phones, computer all at once. Breakfast was great. Also there is a free drink during happy hour. Nice. Can store bags before or after check in/out before you head out to your next destination. Very nice hotel. Recommended.

This hotel is a gem. It is under five minute walking from the Florence train station. The hotel staff was nice, the hotel was very clean, and had a very nice breakfast. Also good air conditioning.If you’re traveling with the family of four they offer a wonderful two story room that has a big queen size bed on the first floor and then upstairs a loft area with two twin beds. It is walking distance to all of the shopping and restaurants in Florence. They have a nice happy hour with a free drink on certain nights of the week, but always have some snacks and water available in the bar area.

This was a great experience. I was traveling with my husband and two children aged 11 and 14. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are large. In fact, our bathroom had two sinks a bathtub and shower. The breakfast had a lot of options and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

The biggest shout out and praise goes to Marco, who helped us out in a bind! Unexpectedly, our flights going home to the United States were canceled, and Marco helped us call our Italian airline to get us on a different flight. He also helped us find a hotel reservation in Rome and spoke Italian to the people there and that resulted in a reduced rate. This is a great place to stay, especially for a family. We stayed here at the end of our 14 day trip and really loved it.
