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.

Staff was very nice but room very small and no counter in the bathroom. Elevator did not go up to the floor we were assigned so had to lug heavy suitcases.

I feel like the hotel was a glorified hostil. It felt the goal was to get as many rooms into the space as possible. If youre not spending much time in the room, then its not a problem. The was clean which was great. But there was alot of construction going on during the day. No doubt adding more rooms. The breakfast was fine. The gentleman that checked us in, Omar was wonderful. Very informative and kind.
