The hotel's location is convenient. It is close to many main attractions, especially the Tower, and the shops are nearby. I had a river view room with plenty of space. The breakfast was good too. I found the hotel very friendly and characterful.
The windows could be better.

historic charm, a good experience

good choice easy access
the history was amazing i felt transported to another era. the breakfast offered a good choice and satisfied my morning cravings. easy access to both the station and the airport was a huge plus. lots of restaurants are nearby and i loved that too.
the windows need some serious attention even with them closed the noise from outside was quite disruptive. a pub nearby kept things lively until the early hours and made sleep difficult. proper window repairs would greatly improve the stay.
Rooms

the room featured beautiful floor tiles that added character i noticed. it also overlooked the arno river that was very scenic. the room's size was generous providing ample space for relaxation.

I found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful . The location was excellent with the tower and many restaurants nearby. The building has great character and brought back a sense of history. Breakfast was also delicious with good options.
I noticed some noise at night from the street due to limited soundproofing. Earplugs resolved the issue.
