It’s was wonderful- close to everything! Roof terrace had a great view! It’s was an adventure to find it for sure, but if you call them they give great directions and after it is a very nice location close to everything in Florence. Great staff, clean room, enough space for everyone. Loved it! We would stay there again.

Excellent location. AC was malfunctioning for the suite we reserved so they moved us to two separate rooms near each other.
Breakfast was outstanding. We will stay here again!

What a great place to stay so much charm and history, our room was perfect , modern and very clean, good AC and a very nice roof terrace was perfect one of the best location in Florence 8 minute walk from the train station and 5 to 10 minutes walk to everything you want to see. Breakfast was next door at a partner restaurant was really good best cappuccino we had . When we arrived Mr Luca greeted us with open arms and full of positive energy , showed us around the hotel and made us a map of everything to visit and recommend the best restaurants that we were blown away best food we had in Italy half the price of Venice . Can’t thank him enough for one of the best experience. We are truly grateful.

Hidden gem!!
This is a hidden gem. Great location. In the middle of all great attractions but inside, to quietly enjoy and rest at night.
Thanks to the kind host!

Air conditioner was broken, it was over 100 degrees in our room. Hotel did nothing about it and we had to book another hotel. There was no staff on site from 5pm-10:30 am, very disappointing.

Perfect location, super walkable. I traveled with other 2 adults, the beds were comfortable, super quiet, we never crossed paths with other guests. Breakfast was really good, we really liked it. I think they can improve cleaning, you could easily tell the floors had a heavy build up, the shower had some drain smell, although housekeeping tried their best to concealed. Please improve the appearance of the entrance. I almost regretted when we first arrive. Would I stay there again? Definitely.

Hotel is quiet, clean and only 2 streets away from Duomo Cathedral. The hallway going to the elevator can use some interior designing to make it more presentable, but I liked that once you get out of the elevator, the rooms are renovated and clean. Bathroom is is renovated and clean. I want to suggest air freshnera Staff in check-in counter is very nice too.
