Lovely hotel with comfortable bed & pillows, well-designed room with enough space for luggage, drinks, misc + good lighting.
Swanky lobby, friendly staff and ideal location, by scenic square & close to train station, river & key destinations, inc Duomo & Plaza del Vecchio.
This hotel is super close to train station and all attractions. The staff is very helpful and a pleasure to deal with daily. Would stay here again definitely.
Excellent variety of buffet breakfast; quirky room - quite dark but that’s the style. Spotless modern bathroom, efficient and quiet a/c. Great location near the station and only a short walk to the centre. Helpful guide to local restaurants was supplied at check-in.
The best part of the stay was the Staff. Fabio (General Manager) and the entire staff made a beautiful and wonderful pre-wedding event for me and my family. Everything was perfect and staff went out of their way for us and our guests. Great customer service. 10+
I loved my stay here! Such a fun and quirky hotel. They did not skimp on the amenities. All staff were kind and helpful. It is a short walk to most Florence landmarks as well as the train station. We loved our time and will be recommending it to our friends.
