The location of the hotel is very close to the tram station and it’s a walking distance to city center. The bed is not comfortable and the hotel room seems that has no sounds proof at all as we could hear the conversation of my next room, it’s not recommended for couple to stay unless you don’t care of your privacy, but the breakfast is good.

The staff were all 5+ star: always very polite, helpful and professional. Room and hotel itself were simple and lovely, but very, very clean. Beautiful terraces and yummi Breakfast. Location is insane to all local shops and main attractions, took me 14 minutes by foot to Duomo and 25 to the Main train station. Would recommend and return.

Cozy place without the noise of the crowd

At 1st it looks very far from the cultural/historic part of Florence, but after the 1st time returning from the city to the hotel (without luggage) you noticed it's quite quick to reach it on foot. It's also much more quiet and calm, with less people, which you already notice some blocks before reaching the hotel. Breakfast is good, and we received free water when arriving and leaving the hotel. Wifi was really fast, and bathroom was brand new and very clean.
