Whilst the staff were pleasant and helpful, the hotel was extremely noisy as it is situated over a school catering for all ages of children. Their playground and morning drop off point was exactly below our window. The air conditioning was so noisy we had to turn it off. The worst thing was the bed bugs. Sleep was impossible as I was bitten around 30 times during the night. Also had to fumigate all my clothes and luggage on my return.

It felt like we were locals!!! Highly recommended, centrally located but far enough away to asleep quietly. Omar was outstanding. As was his night partner. Both informative, eagerly accommodating and super sweet. The only complaint is the bed. Squeaky loud and sunken in, needs adjusting.

Our stay was pleasant. Staff and facilities were more than adequate and thankfully they had air conditioning .Main attractions were within walking distance but for some with disabilities or elderly might be more difficult in which case a short cab ride would suffice. Over all very pleasant.

This hotel is about 25 mins walk from firenze train station.A fair distance from the major attractions.. Academia Gallery was about 5 mins walk. The hotel is on the second floor of the building .It was quite dated, the carpets were distasteful and full of stains. It was airconditioned but we had to keep asking to lower the temperature down to our liking as they kept putting it to 22 deg. The rooms were spacious, beds and pillows were comfortable, fairly clean but the shower was poorly designed as it kept flooding the whole bathroom everytime we used it. The breakfast was sufficient to start the day with. There isn't a lot of dining options close to the hotel...I would say you can get a better option for the price we paid to stay tbere...

Mu Brilliant Review.
The place had everything we need. The room was spacious and the crew were very helpful and cooperative. The breakfast was superb. It has everything thing you need to start your day. Florence is a walkable city and the hotel gives you that as it is very close to the santa maria novella train station and the most glorious museums and landmarks.

Excellent Customer Service- so friendly people!
Omar & Ellio are very customer experience focus, they are so nice. The hotel has a fantastic air condition, breakfast and tourist information. The room is small but enought for a couple. We can walk to the main attractions, restaurants and bars. I will return to the same hotel. Quality, people, food and experience vs price 10/10.

Beautiful roof top area to look around and well maintained flowers. Air conditioning was down but the men working on it didn’t give up and eventually did get it going…. Breakfast was very nice with a lot of options. Location was a bit away from train that I took from the airport… I should have gotten a cab to make it easy on myself.

Walking distance to the tourist attractions. You need to have cash to pay the city tax. They do not accept card or bank transfers. Bathroom is small and the lights in the bathroom are away from the shower. It looked old. But it was clean. It wasn't bad as some of the reviews said. The breakfast buffet was very good. There was a shower gel, soap and a dryer.
