I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small and had a poor layout, but the view of the street and Ponte Vecchio was great. The service was professional and efficient, with helpful staff. The location was perfect for exploring the city, being right on the River Arno with beautiful views, although it was away from the center. The dining was good and plentiful, but a little sedate. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
