Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, with a brilliant location and comfy beds, but lacks in character and natural light. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing thorough cleaning services and an ideal location. The dining options are good but not exceptional. Overall, it's a convenient choice with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers a mix of positives with its clean, bright rooms that have a fantastic view from the balcony. The service, although warm and helpful, faced language barriers, and attempts at cleanliness were subpar. The location is convenient, close to major sights, but lacks some clarity on directions. The dining experience, while offering good options, was not exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers fantastic views from the balcony and the rooms are comfortable with a small fridge inside. However, the lack of decor gives a slightly dull impression. On the positive side, the rooms are well ventilated, bright, and spacious.
The hotel's location was fantastic, within walking distance of all main attractions and the Florence train station. However, the rooms were uninviting and could have been cleaner, lacking a cozy feel and natural light. The service was warm and extremely helpful, going out of their way to assist with car rental. The dining experience was functional, offering good options but could improve on lactose-free and vegan products. The hotel had great facilities, including an elevator and a welcoming atmosphere.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a wisely placed AC ensuring a pleasant stay. However, the overall cleanliness could have been better. On the bright side, the electric tea-kettle with a selection of teas and cappuccino bags was a nice touch, adding some homely comfort to the room.
