Excellent location, neat and tidy but a bit dated. Breakfast was basic. Friendly and service minded staff. A good place for a few nights if you want to stay in the city center.

Perfect location and perfectly nice
This place is no frills for sure and the room is small. However, it was affordable and in a perfect location about halfway between the main train station and the Duomo. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was continental. Just what you need to get some fuel in the morning and get going.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A great place to spend the night while visiting Florence. It is 5-minute walk from the train station. It is within walking distance of most things in the Florence center. Clean, friendly, practical. I has a small room with a bed and the essentials. But what more did I need. I only spent the night sleeping. For that, is was quiet and comfortable—an excellent value for the price.
