Staff was wonderful. Room was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast room had a nice assortment of cold and hot foods. Easy walk to The Fortezza da Basso. as well as to the sights of Florence - Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio,...
This hotel was extremely disappointing compared to the pictures on the website. The rooms on the website look fabulous and our room was anything but. It was very plain and small with two very small hard beds and pillows, on the first floor. The bathroom was also tiny, looked like it was from the 70s, the shower was cramped and the sink was slow to drain. All in all not a terrible stay, but we felt completely cheated and lied to, and paid more than we would have if we had known the actual condition.
Great stay, great front desk! Overall, I loved the place, but it's about 20-30 minutes' walk to the city center. On the plus side, it's nice being outside the chaos of the city center. The staff are amazing and the breakfast area is so cozy and feels local. 10/10
Nice location just off the T1 tram line, within walking distance to attractions. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great with many selections.

Good location
Good location hotel big room but not the cleanest shower doors need cleaning and the silicon
Staff was very kind and helpful. The location is walkable from Firenze Santa Maria Novella. In fact, it is walkable to everything in Florence. The breakfast options were a bit limited but quite tasty. The service was wonderful. The only reason for a couple four star instead of all five star is because the hotel is definitely going through some upgrades. This is not a bad thing as it will be even better in the near future. It was just a bit noticeable this trip.
Great place to stay. Close to shopping and dinning. Staff was very accommodating for all of our needs. If you are going to Florence this is a place I recommend.
Far from restaurants and other spots. Hotel is outdated. Bathroom is like from 1960's. TV doesn't have a single English channel and it's not new enough to connect to Netflix or Youtube to chill after a long day of sightseeing. The price I paid to stay in this hotel is not worth it at all.
The hotel is a tram ride outside of city center a small walk from the tram. The staff are very helpful. We had a cold when we arrived and they helped us with where to go to get to a doctor. The bed was sooo comfortable a great place to rest. The breakfast was wonderful with local treats. It was a great place to return to after sight seeinging with an elegant lobby and our room had a very interesting ceiling. I would highly recommend this hotel.
