The room had a balcony with a view of the city, despite the fact that it is located in a bad district of Florence. The breakfast was good, apart from the coffee, with a big variety. The room was 200m away from the reception and according to the reception this is the case for any not-luxury double room. We were informed about this but not before the confirmation of the room- too late to reconsider our decision. This 200 m away means that there is not internet access at the room and for the breakfast we had to get out of our building and this in a very bad district of the city, If someone decide to stay at this hotel, I would suggest to choose the luxury rooms that cost about 20 euros more but are located at the main building and look to be recently renovated.

The location is perfect if you plan to travel (by train or by bus) in Tuscany. The hotel is on renovation, but you can survive...We did it because we were out most of the time! I strongly recommend one restaurant in the area: Osteria dall'Oste. Excellent staff, great menu!

The hotel has 2different buildings, our room was in the biulding round the corner, but this wasn't an issue at all. The staff are extremely helpful, breakfast is served buffet style and is pretty good considering the cost. There is wi-fi available too. The hotel is situated close to shops and across the road from the station. Everywhere is within walking distance and restaurant down the road served great meal deals incl main course+drinks which were delicious!

The location is excellent! It is located right across tge train station and tram station. It only took us 15 minutes to walk to the Uffizi Gallery and everything else is only 10 minutes away. The room has tv with cartoons on and free wi-fi for the whole building. Breakfast is included (althiugh the breakfast staff were not welcoming) and its quite nice. The cleaning lady was nice and all smiles. Staff was helpful in providing advice and directions.

The location adjacent to the train station was so convenient and most of the attractions were within walking distance.The front desk was always manned around the clock by three wonderful guys who were extremely helpful with travel and sightseeing tips and were very accomodating. We were initially allocated a room on the 3rd floor which was comfortable but when we expressed our concern about the ongoing construction was upgraded to an updated room on the ground floor that had radiant heated floors,shower with body sprays and an illuminated ceiling with changing colors at no extra cost.Free WiFi and breakfast were nice touches.Overall a great three star facility. Only minor deficiency was the quality of the bath towels which were lightweight without loops and thus not very absorbent

We had booked on line and were allocated two rooms in separate buildings. On arrival, because we were two couples traveling together, the considerate management gave us an upgrade room so we were in the same location... At no extra cost. Impressive! Renovations were in progress. Rooms not affected, but hallways etc unfinished and dusty. No big deal.

a very good location - just near the railway station. very nice hotel stuff.reasonable price and good breakfast included.the rooms is clean and neat. the hotel is under renovation,so be ready for that. the hotel itself is quite old and shabby but if you like antiques you might enjoy it)))the air conditioner was too strong and we couldn't regulate it properly. and - you can hear your neighbours which is a great minus!

Hotel is very very close to train station, just beside the train station. and easy to find. The receptionists are very nice (specially the female receptionist, she showed us the places for visit and dinner). The breakfast is good, and wifi connect is good as well. I like this hotel very much. It's worth to the price. I booked a standard room, it's not located in the main building, we should walk about 100 meter to another building. however, the nice receptionist show me how to get there very clear and sent me a mail to inform me in advance. If this information can be indicated in the web, it will be great.

The location is excellent, just opposite to the train station. The hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming, the nice guy in the reception desk upgraded our standard room to luxury room (in the main building) free of charge! The heater in our first room was not power enough, he changed us to another room without a problem. He also gave us a very detailed guide of the city tour! Thank you! Will stay again! 1. no kettle in the room 2. the room size is large, only 1 heater cant keep the room very warm during cold winter time. 3.the WI-FI is weak

Superb located just opposite Santa Maria Novella Station. Is walkable distance to Florence Duomo. The room even thou is a bit small, I'm quite satisfied with the cleanliness, the buffet breakfast and the services provided by the hotel. We need to call the guy at the counter to turn on the heater for the room during winter time everyday as it is a central heating system. Otherwise, everything else is good.

Our bedroom wasn't in the main building but was very nice. We also had our own kitchen and terrace. Very nice view from the forth floor. The room was well located and big. The breakfast was a bit poor and not very fresh.

Two rooms, with stove, large fridge, very clean, great breakfast. The color of the tiles in the bathroom is tasteless to say the least. Needless to say, if this is the only complaint one has, this is a great hotel!

We booked for standard double room in the annexe but got an upgrade to a room in the main building. The hotel is renovating, but didn't disturb us in anyway. Location is good, right across the main train station and walking distance to everything we wished to visit. Room quiet. Reception very friendly and helpful. Very affordable for a good service level. Perfect for a short stay to visit Florence city. Lack of freshness in the decoration of the room. May be this will be improved after renovation? After all, we can notice a vey nice decoration in the areas already renovated.

This is a great little hotel. Right outside the station, blink and youll miss it. Staff very friendly and recommended me an excellent restaurant. \Im going back anyway and no qualms. A room at the back is very peaceful and quiet. Just right for a city break, so handy for every thing.

“The location is very good and just 3 mins walk from the Firenze SMN station. Although the hotel is near the Street side, it is very quite at night becasue of the double layers windows. Mr. Paolo (Boss) is nice and expalin eveything in detail when you check in. His Staffs are very nice too and my family likes to stay in this Hotel. The size of the room is big enough for 4 people. Also, a good supermarket just nearby and you will find a lot of cheaper things there.” Gavin, Hong Kong |
