Nice room with very comfortable bed. Only problem was a low water pressure in the sink and shower. Small bathroom. Good breakfast. Good location.

6/10 Good

Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with very friendly reception staff, and the location is excellent - easy to access everything nearby. Unfortunately, the room itself was a letdown. It was extremely small, with a very uncomfortable bed, making it difficult to relax. While the bathroom was modern and visually appealing, it lacked basic practicality - there was no space to put a toiletry bag and not even a hook to hang towels or clothing. Overall, despite the great location and service, the room felt cramped and uncomfortable, which impacted the stay.

Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff. However, a few words of caution. If you check-in before your room is ready, do not leave breakables with your luggage in bag check. We left a two extra bags with wine bottles and a few souvenirs with our luggage. When our room was ready, we returned to find our hand painted bottle of limoncello from an hour away was shattered in its bag. All the staff said was “one of your bags was dropped and one of the glass bottles broke. We don’t know which one”. When we saw very obviously it was the limoncello, they said “sorry” and end of discussion. Second recommendation is to pay the hotel tax when you check-out. We paid when we checked-in to make the process easier when we checked-out early the next morning. However, when we checked-out, there was “no record” of us paying early. We showed the staff member the charge on our bank account app but because we did not have the receipt on us, he would not let us leave until we paid again. Therefore, we were charged the room tax for a second time. All in all, the initial check-in process and staff were lovely and very helpful when asked recommendations around the city and even provided a map. The rooms were clean and there is AC. (Not to American’s standards but significantly better than not having one in the summer). Without the bottle breaking with little apology and the double charge, we probably would have stayed again. But because of our personal experience, we will not be returning.

Fiquei hospedada com a minha família, esposo e 2 filhos e o ralo do chuveiro estava entupido impedindo de tomar banho, a água vazava para fora do banheiro. Já era a noite, não tinha ninguém da manutenção e eles não tinham outro quarto para que pudéssemos tomar banho, só no outro dia conseguiram desentupir o ralo. Além disso, o quarto não tinha uma limpeza adequada.

Il nostro soggiorno a Firenze è stato eccellente. L'hotel era pulito, confortevole e in una posizione ideale, che permetteva di esplorare facilmente le splendide vie della città, i monumenti storici e i vivaci caffè. Il personale era cordiale e accogliente, sempre disponibile a fornire consigli e informazioni utili. Le camere erano ben arredate e la colazione offriva un'ottima scelta per iniziare al meglio ogni giornata. Nel complesso, è stata una base meravigliosa per vivere il fascino e la bellezza di Firenze.
