Dissappointed to find that even though the room was advertised with A/C it didn't have any A/C available in the room. There was only a unit that blew hot air.

No managers at night
Receptionist was kind at the check in.
Location was great.
Rooms were clean.
But there were noisy students at night tried to get some sleep early because we had plans for early morning.
There were no managers staying at the hotel after 7pm.
I called the number that i received but only one that i heard from is
This is emergency number. They will be sleeping at 10pm. Also they told me that i had to handle the issue with them directly.
On my experience, no hotel does the way of communication. Hotel needs to solve the problem themselves. Who knows if theres any dangerous person in the noisy room?
The manager on the phone said they are students and teachers but who on the earth wants to argue with another people during the wonderful trip?
Everything was great but management at night needs to be *managed*
We loved everything about the Hotel: the location, the cleanliness of the room, the courtesy of the staff. We had the chance to get our room upgraded to an apartment and it was very nice. I recommend it 100%. Thanks for making our stay in Florence enjoyable.
Conveniently located, easy check in process, good communication with front desk.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene, accogliente e il personale disponibile
didnt know there was a shared common space in the kitchen/living room. there was also a slight smell in the common area. beds were a little stiff and hot water ran out quickly. other than that, everything else was perfect.
