Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was very clean. Staff were helpful. Breakfast included was across the street in a café (not described as such when booking). When booking, it was listed as having laundry facilities. This is NOT the case. Plan to find a public laundry mat. Had difficulty cooling the room down.
Great location, close to the train station, making it very convenient for travel. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Communication from the staff was excellent they were friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would happily stay here again.
The friendly staff Anna keeps me well informed of how to get to the hotel and how to activate the door digit keys. Great location too! Overall I’m satisfied!
Really great spot, my only complaint was that the shower wasn’t working well. But they helped us check in early and were so so helpful and kind. Would definitely stay again
Overall, room was clean and the had an ample amount of space. Just a heads up, it's located in a building on the 2nd floor. Looks like each floor of this building has their own B&B. I'm not sure why Expedia labeled this place as a 4-stars hotel when it's more like an B&B. If a "hotel" and their amenities is what you're looking for, this is not the place.
The staff is very friendly. Though there's not a 24 hours reception, there is a number that you can call in anytime. They were very helpful in guiding us about our train.
Breakfast is served across the street in a cafe that's open at 6:00AM which is great. You get a voucher that list a few options. It's not a buffet style. The offerings always include a coffee, juice, & croissant with an option of omelet (fried eggs), mini sandwich or yogurt. More than enough to get your morning started!
Lastly, this place is super convenient and close to everything including the train station, the market, restaurants and shopping! A+++ For location.
Our room was clean and staff were very nice! only complaint was a little noisy early in the morning at times (?construction noise) and occasional noise from upstairs. There was also no laundry we could do ourselves on site.
Good stay. Kind staff. Breakfast is across the street and includes a specialty coffee, oj or pineapple juice, and then a croissant (pistachio, Nutella, or crème) and either an omelette or mini sandwich. Solid breakfast! AC could’ve been colder. Says it was 16 Celsius but it definitely felt closer to 24 Celsius (75 Fahrenheit).
Great location close to train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is busy and loud traffic. Central AC/Heating connected to all units. So if someone is using heating in another unit, you can’t use the AC. Overall, good accomodation if you’re staying in Florence for a day/night.
Great location near the train station and a short walk to the duomo area. The room was clean and comfortable, with an easy check in.
I would recommend!
Location was awesome 5 minute walk from the train station. Dinning options were fantastic and easy walking to all attractions
Staff were very friendly and most helpful.
Would definitely recommend for a few days in Florence.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The housekeeping team did an excellent job, and everything was kept very clean throughout my stay. Whenever I needed something, it was provided quickly, and the cleaners were always smiling and polite.
However, the room was much smaller than I expected. There was only a small area to hang clothes, but no additional wardrobe or storage space for luggage and personal belongings.
The hotel was also very noisy. There was a lot of noise and disturbance starting early in the morning, so it is definitely not a quiet place to stay.
On the positive side, the receptionist, Anna, was exceptional. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and assisted me with everything I needed during my stay.
The location is fantastic — very central and convenient. Everything is within walking distance, and you have easy access to all the main attractions, shops, and restaurants.
Comfortable bed with luxurious linens. 5min walk from the train station and about 15-20mins to the river. The host was very attentive and answered any questions we had during our stay We recommend checking out the Central Market for lunch/dinner which is 5mins away!
