8/10 Very Good

The hotel rooms are serviceable. My favorite thing about them was how quiet they were - and the air conditioning worked great. It is very convenient to everything. My only downside is that is appears that showering in the evening means a lukewarm (at best) shower. The breakfasts were typical and the rooms were on the small side but still fine.

2/10 Poor

This hotel is down right disgusting. We showed up excited because the pictures looked cute and it a good walking distance. The female front desk worker is rude, the sheets have blood stains on them after switching rooms and the worst part, is we found bed bugs. They refuse to refund us and are making us stay in their infested hotel. Do not come here. Pay the extra money and stay anywhere else.

The family run hotel was beautiful and the staff/family is very welcoming and accommodating. All touristic places were in walking distance, restaurants near where very good. We had forgotten our wedding ring and they returned it to us and helped in finding it. All in all will go back again !

Hotel was nice and clean and the staff was helpful. It is close enough to walk to the tourist areas but far enough away that it is really not that close. Close enough to train station for a quick walk or ride (with luggage). We did both and it took about 10-15 min either way. Close to Accademia Gallery. Park area in front was fine during the day but some homeless sleeping there at night. Room was spacious for 4 people and the view overlooked the park. Everything close enough that can be walked.

Wonderful customer service, friendly staff, helpful providing information. It's about 15 minute walk from main train station, keep in mind busy, narrrow sidewalks, can be a challenge if you have a lot of luggage. You can take public transportation across train station to take you close to the hotel, there is a bus station across the hotel. Breakfast was continental, sufficient to get you started for the day.

Good hotel if you have a car
Excellent location , small difficulty in navigating to the hotel due to road works but Waze app was the solution. Due to covid breakfast has to be served by staff. Staff are all polite and helpful. Access to onsite parking is via very narrow driveway. There is a cheaper option for an on street parking with a hotel permit.

We loved this place!! :) Paul (front desk) was so nice and very helpful with the check-in. Location is great and within walking distance to the Dome, close to shopping and dining. It was a very nice hotel, excellent service and a great complimentary breakfast buffet. Easy access to public transportation that would take you anywhere in Florence.

It isn’t as close to the station as advertised. The room is too small for two persons. There are very few plug points for charging devices. Wifi is not free and the signal is very poor. I had to use my cellular network for internet and that was very expensive. The room rates were exorbitant and definitely not value for money. Overall a terrible ey

Great location, smelly room
The location was perfect and the staff were very nice and welcoming. The only issue we had was that the room was very musty giving it a strange smell. The window is on the ceiling so we could not open it to air it out.

I loved the property, everyone was so helpful. Place is just what you'd expect from a little Italian Inn, nothing fancy but very sweet. Paulo at the front desk was especially helpful to us. If I ever return to Florence I will request the same room at this place, right next to the court yard with fruit trees, very nice

The hotel was okay. It was in a great location and the staff was friendly enough and 24hr front desk. We stayed here because of the location and the price. The breakfast was not very good, which is fine. To be honest, I would give a higher review if it wasn’t for the WiFi. It was NOT included and they seemed to charge you per day. Making guests pay for the WiFi just seemed petty and they charged PER device which was €5 a day. So annoying.
