The location of this hotel is unbeatable, especially if you're traveling in/out by train since you can readily walk to the station. The property itself is fine and has definitely been upgraded more recently but it feels like a stretch to call the experience "superb" as is flagged in Expedia ratings logic.

An upmarket hotel in an excellent location in the centre of Florence. The rooftop swimming pool with a view towards the Duomo and many other magnificent landmarks is a lovely place to refresh after a busy day’s sightseeing!

Beautiful location and views
This hotel is great, the piazza is wide and clean, and it's a very close walk to Florence's train station if you're arriving by train. You can easily roll all your large suitcases there and back from the station to the hotel. The views of the square from your room are great, and even if you don't have one the roof pool deck is classy and the views are amazing.

Best hotel in Florence and so walkable from every major location. No other transport needed. Bring a swimsuit! The scorching heat and extensive walking was counterbalanced with a beautiful pool to relax before dinner. Staff was excellent all around, but especially the breakfast crew which made every morning a pleasant experience.

The roof top was fabulous. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful suite and an early morning flight. The staff made us a special to-go breakfast and arranged our transport. We wished we could stay longer and enjoy the hotel.
