The location as its close to the main station where we could travel even to bologna, venice, pisa,just buy taking train from main terminal. Its just 5 min walking from the hotel itself. For budget traveller can also buy water,and snacks at the supermarket mita/meta supermarket few meters away from the hotel, in between the hotel and the station but on the other side of the street of the hotel. The food is not too good, bread was dry, no toaster, but the toiletries in hotel are good, tub, etc all worked perfectly.

The rooms were clean, breakfast was sufficient. Location was very near to train station with only a short 10 minute walk to the centre. Shower was excellent and room was cleaned thouroughly each morning. Room for four was small with no walking space. The hotel staff were not particularly helpful in advising tourists yet their english was good.

The parking access. The price reasonable for a 4* italian star hotel. No internet access in the room as the wifi was too weak. It was mandatory for me to have an internet access in my room to work but no alternative has been proposed. The hair dryer, broken and even dangerous as burning. A solution has been proposed. A little bit old fashion.

Staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection.! Location was excellent. When we walked into the room it smelled musty. Found some mold on one of the corner walls. Refrigerator did not work. Told front desk but they did nothing to correct it. Bathroom shower very small and shared same floor drain with toilet. Shower walls and doors were not fixed, they were movable. I believe the room we got (105) was not part of their normal rooms. It was a separate small building off the main hotel.

The breakfast were good with lot of choice and variety The room we stayed in was very bland and drab. It was a nice size room but very cold looking. One thing that was extremely disappointing, especially travelling for almost 24hours that we didnt have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We had to buy a cup of coffee from the hotel for 2euros. Surely one would expect this facility from a four star hotel...,

I liked the localization of the hotel. Quite near the main railway station and 15 min walking from Ponte Vecchio. The beakfast is really good, the staff helpful and nice and the room comfortable and clean. I think Internet access should be free inside the entire hotel.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Firenze smn station. We were allocated a room which was not up to 4 star standard. It was very small and the view, either from or back, was not very pleasant.

Location and breakfast. We obviously got the last room, we were right at the front and it felt like we were in a dungeon. The staff were not overly friendly or helpful at the front desk.

Good Hospitality, cleanliness and excellent food. If there is a window in the room (not roof top) it would have been more wonderful experience.

Great location for a 2 day visit to Florence, especially if traveling by train. Hotel staff were excellent and most helpful. They even gave me a bucket of ice for my room which was much welcomd after a long day walking around Florence. The breakfast was much more than I expected and the 2 ladies working in it were very delightful. Would recommend and revisit this Hotel if I ever return to Florence.

“I love my stay at this hotel. The staff is really friendly and helpful (especially to advise on restaurants ;) . The value for money is really good, not too expensive but still chic and really good quality hotel. I was really impressed by how 'clean' it was also. The breakfast buffet is fab! and the bar is cool! The location is awesome as you are right in the centre! Fantastic! And also no city noise or anything! I strongly recommend it! ” Samia, Leeds |

“The location was great. Walking distance from the train station (be sure to get directions as we walked in the wrong direction) and walking distance to all the main sites. The hotel staff was always friendly and helpful. The room was small (but you're in a city after all), and it was very clean and modern. When i return to Florence I would definitely stay here again! ” Theresa, East Brunswick |
