Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and decent-sized rooms offering a lovely view of the pedestrian road outside. The service was a mix of rudeness and helpfulness. The location was excellent for exploring Florence, although it had some drawbacks. The dining experience was adequate but lacked variety. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in the city.
I was on another floor but unfortunately did not have an elevator. The room faced an airshaft and overlooked a back street with noisy trash bins being emptied daily at 0430, which was quite bothersome. However, the location was fantastic, just a short walk from the Duomo and near the city's major attractions. The dining options were okay with a decent variety but not outstanding.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet, clean, and faced a lovely pedestrian road outside. The service was exceptional, especially from Analisa and Nicola. The location was perfect, just minutes away from the duomo and surrounded by great sights. The dining experience was satisfactory, although it could have had more variety. Overall, a great value for the price.
I had a great stay at the hotel despite a few minor inconveniences. The location was fantastic, close to many attractions but with a bit of noise from the bell tower. The service was excellent, with staff going out of their way to assist, though one receptionist could have been more courteous. The dining experience was okay but could be improved with better organization. The rooms were comfortable but faced some noise from the busy walkway, and the breakfast service was efficient thanks to the lovely staff.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was clean and faced a quiet street, but it was quite small for my needs. The service was incredibly helpful and sweet, making my stay welcoming. The location was great, near the train station, cathedral, and museums. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing with limited options.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was excellent. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a great value for the money.
