Raffaella at the reception was one of the most wonderful people we have met on our entire trip. She helped us out with everything and was such a joy to be around. The place was incredible, brand new everything. Quiet and comfortable rooms. I would recommend to anyone to stay here

Property centrally located, park/city view, walking distance to important sights. Friendly welcoming. Totally ultra modern remodeling, floors, lightning, paint, bathroom fixtures (Atomic bidet! ) My experience is 5 star stay. Ciao

The property is hidden away in the streets of Florence. Not too far from the train station but about a 15 min walk to Florence centre. Staff, in particular Raphaella, were amazing, so friendly and helpful with giving recommendations and travel advice. The room was perfect, spotless clean and modern interior, it was our anniversary so they prepared a small surprise in the room with some Prosecco. It was a lovely stay and I would definitely come back!

8/10 Very good

The hosts were wonderful and the rooms were pristine. The room view was also amazing. This is a new property so still some adjustments to be made. Front desk is available until 9:00 pm. Somehow didn’t feel like a hotel.. more like a boarding. I was assured that the surroundings were safe but some guys hung around all day on the park benches opposite the building and were pretty loud, well into the evening. Good for a short term stay.

Der Ausblick war sehr schön. Auch der Park vor dem Hotel ist gut zum Ausruhen auf einer Bank. Leider war es Nachts und am Morgen zu laut. wir mussten deshalb die Fenster schließen. Aber trotzdem ist das kleine Hotel sehr zu empfehlen. Alles ist neu renoviert und modern.

Essence hotel makes good sense

We had a great stay at the Essence Hotel. It is in a quieter part of town but still close to everything. The room we stayed in was clean and modern. Most major attractions in Florence were within easy walking distance. We'd be happy to stay here again next time when we come back to visit Tuscany.
