I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable with twin beds and plenty of cupboard space. However, it was disappointing that the hotel was quite small for the number of rooms. The staff was accommodating but not overly friendly. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the Florence Dome and the Train Station. The dining options were basic, with not many choices. The facilities were satisfactory, but nothing stood out as exceptional.

I loved the hotel's central location, just minutes away from the train station and key attractions like the Duomo. The room, though advertised as a triple and charged as two separate rooms, was cozy and had a small terrace offering a glimpse of the Duomo. However, it was quite warm inside, making it a bit uncomfortable at times.

This hotel was a mixed bag - while it was a bonus to have an in-room safe, the construction scaffolding right beside it was a downside. The rooms were generally clean but a bit dusty in the wardrobes. The staff varied from friendly to lazy and ignorant towards tourists. The location was ideal for exploring Florence's main attractions, but staff knowledge was lacking. The dining experience offered substantial variety but lacked consistency. Overall, a decent stay with both positives and negatives.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station and offers easy access to all sightseeing spots. The room could use improvement as the air conditioning was not effective, and the bed was uncomfortable. The service was a mix of friendly and not particularly helpful. The location is great for exploring Florence but is noisy due to the street and tram nearby. The dining options were lacking in freshness and variety. The facilities were basic with no standout amenities.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from SMN or Duomo, making it easy to access the main attractions in Florence. However, my stay was slightly marred by the need for some renovation work in certain areas of the property. On the bright side, the bathroom was modern with a shower, though I'm not a fan of bathtubs in hotels.

The hotel is in a convenient spot, very close to public transportation and ideal for exploring Florence. The rooms were comfortable, but the construction site nearby was a bit disruptive.

The dining experience was a letdown with limited options available, but the staff's kindness made up for it.

The hotel's location is excellent, especially for those arriving by train, just a short walk away from it and near all the interesting sites. The rooms were noisy due to lack of soundproofing, but they did have large windows. The staff was friendly and helpful, although there were some unaccommodating moments during check-in. The dining experience was decent but could improve the variety of offerings. The hotel offers various quiet areas which adds a nice touch to the ambiance.

The hotel is perfectly located, close to the train station and ideal for exploring Florence on foot.

The hotel is a charming 16th-century building with a private terrace and convenient amenities like a fridge, air conditioning, and complimentary breakfast. It was a bit hot in August, but the quiet ambiance made up for it. Friendly and welcoming service added to the overall positive experience, even though there were some concerns about security and historical accuracy. The perfect central location near the main attractions of Florence made sightseeing easy, with nice seating options available. The dining experience, although subpar with limited choices, managed to provide freshly baked bread. Overall, a mix of historical charm and modern convenience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal, close to sightseeing sites and public transportation, but the noise level was too high due to limited soundproofing. The rooms were well-equipped with a private terrace and necessary amenities, but the lack of soundproofing around the swimming pool was a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were issues with maintenance and care from the owners. The dining experience offered a decent variety of food but fell short in quality.
