The hotel offers cozy rooms overlooking a lovely courtyard but with limited storage space. The service, though helpful initially, became less attentive during a busy period. The location is superb, just a short walk from the main sights, and the dining options, while not exceptional, offer a decent selection. Overall, a good value for the money.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be conveniently located near the train station, making it easy to access all the major attractions in Florence. The service was excellent, with polite staff providing quick service, and a delightful buffet breakfast included in the affordable room price. While the rooms were reasonably sized, being on the ground level by the lobby made them noisy from staff activity. The dining experience was enjoyable, offering a good continental-style breakfast. Overall, a central location and friendly service made my stay pleasant despite some room noise.

I felt like I struck gold with this hotel! The rooms are charming and relatively large, even for a European hotel. However, they were a bit dark due to the window dressings, but the cozy courtyard view from our room more than made up for it. The staff were not just friendly but fantastic, going above and beyond our expectations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, clean, and reasonably priced with a very nice breakfast buffet, but they appeared a little worn and could do with a facelift. The service was super friendly, especially in the restaurant, offering a small pool/spa as a welcome relief from the heat. The location was nice for a relaxing late-day drink but not close to the city center. The dining was sufficient but repetitive, mostly offering continental-style meals. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel is located near Santa Maria Novella, providing a safe and interesting area with one of the best Gelaterias in Florence nearby. The rooms, though clean and spacious, face a courtyard used by smokers, resulting in a hot room with occasional smoke smell. The service is excellent with friendly and welcoming staff. The dining options offer good protein choices and a pleasant experience. The central location and proximity to attractions make it convenient for exploring Florence.
