Service was top notch. We had to wait 10 minutes for our room to be ready but they were great about everything and accommodating an early morning checkout with bag breakfasts for us. Location is also great next to the river and near major attractions in the city.

Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The top floor terrace faces the Duomo and Santa Croce, giving a spectacular view of the city lit up at night. The food was very good -- some fun, unique menu items. The staff was friendly & helpful. The only reason the couple of areas that I gave fours were that the room was on the small side, and there was some construction going on along the river -- not the hotel's fault, obviously -- that blocked the view of the river and made the area just in front look a bit industrial. Again, not their fault; just wanted to leave a heads-up that until construction is complete, the area around the property won't be as charming as I assume is usual.
Sharon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. They were very friendly, very accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel special. We stayed in the apartments. Great view, great place. We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you for this experience.
