10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very close to the train station, and all the main attractions are within walking distance. There are also plenty of restaurants right outside the hotel. Both the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The sunny-side-up eggs with runny yolks were fantastic!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient location just a short walk from train station. Turning right out of the hotel and you're quickly in the middle of everything you could wish to see in Florence. We were a family of four in room 8 which worked well, although the shower pressure could have been better. Excellent breakfast and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel. Would stay here again and will be recommending to friends! Excellent value, close to the train station and all the sights are walkable. The room was huge with an amazing bathroom and beautifully painted ceiling. Very clean and comfortable. Staff were so nice and the breakfast was 10/10.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice and helpful staff, good breakfast buffet, great location with Santa Maria Novella and its piazza just around the corner. Spacious, luxurious bathroom and powerful air conditioning. With the old furniture and painted ceiling the ambiance in my room felt very much like an Italian place with history.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The place was spotless clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but the breakfast room was small (one big table for all guests). The A/C was very noisy and I had to turn it off in the night. The entire technical installationg (door access, elevator, lights) is very poor which, in additon to the noisy A/C, was a major concern. At some point I was unable to turn off the light and head to sleep with a mask. If you operate a light switch its a lottery if the light (and which one) goes on or off. The room was small with little light, a plastic chair and no table. There was a fridge with free water, which was nice.

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was excellent and the people that worked in there were very pleasant! You are within walking distance to all the important sites,restaurants and of course the train station.

10/10 Exceptional

The motel room was clean and very comfortable. The staff was courteous and helpful at all times. The breakfast was very good. A suggestion from me to management, as to send a description of how to enter the motel and how the elevator works prior to arrival would’ve been helpful. Especially for foreign visitors. Like the central location. I would stay there again.
