I have no positive remarks for this hotel . In order of priority. 1. Disorganized reservation system. They cancelled 1 of 2 reservations and told us it was not their fault but we most have cancelled. Paying. Customers should never be accused of anything unless verified . 2. Unprofessional and uncourteous front desk staff. Either they are very bossy , rude and make unnessary remarks or are very inexperienced to assist you with simple questions. 3. 3 unclean and unsanitary rooms,- same stains in bathroom light switch and walls for 5 nights, I had dirt and lint on my feet when walked on floor with no socks ,2 broken light fixtures, hand railing for steps in room was weak( not safe for kids or elderly), Inner handle to room broke off ( unsafe in case of emergency or fire). 4. Unpleasant fragrance used throughout hotel. Made us all feel nauseous.

A lovely hotel, very centrally located, within walking distance of all the sights. Very modern rooms and a really good breakfast. Would stay there again and recommend to friends & family. Not a complaint as such, but the roof top bar should be open earlier than 5pm in the afternoon, it would have been nice to have an afternoon relax up there with a nice drink. The guy on the roof top bar was a bit miserable to be honest, we went up there at 4.50pm as we had just arrived and he wouldn't give us a drink untill bang on 5pm, I think as we were paying quite a bit to stay in this hotel he could have at least let us have 2 beers on such a warm day and having just arrived, I wouldn't have thought 10 minutes would have mattered. I think there could have been some more relaxing music up on the rooftop bar, the guy had an ipod playing but you couldn't even hear it, when I asked him to turn up a frank sinatra song that I loved, he looked at me like I had three heads.. I think he needs a personality transplant..

stayed here a few times and location is great, and has a nice feeling down the old street of Florence. I was put on a low floor and was very noisy the first night...infact i didn't sleep very much at all.... was slightly annoyed as i have stayed here a good amount of times so would expect that the hotel would put you in the best location of the hotel as a returning customer.

1. Great front desk staff -- very helpful and accommodating. 2. Bed was very firm and comfortable 3. Superb location for sightseeing 1. Rooms are very Spartan and furnished with old chipped and scraped desk and dresser. 2. Wireless was free but it was extremely slow 3. My room on the 1st floor was above the bar and the walls and floor must have been paper thin, as the music could be almost deafening at times, and even laughter and talking was easily audible.

Location, close to all historical monuments and galleries. Room was a bit noisy and underheated. One can hear every step from the corridor and conversation from other rooms. Bathroom deserves reconstruction and more light.

I enjoyed the proximity to the major points of interest in Florence, I loved the comfortable beds and quiet rooms. I found the seating in the bar area very uncomfortable, there is no back support. I felt that the room door lock gave me a sense of insecurity when I left the hotel in that there was no double lock. You simply pulled the door shut.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the location ideal and the roof terrace was heavenly, even though the bar had yet to open for the season. The hotel had a quiet elegance and inviting breakfast room. The bed was a bit hard, and the room felt claustrophobic as it looked onto a small, inner space.

The location There was no welcome at each of are arrivals. I realize it was late each time. There was no help with luggage. All in all Not friendly. Maybe Americans? Each stay were different rooms. The second stay I didn't like the room and wanted to make a change. I went to the desk .. and the woman acted as she was not interested in wanting to accommodate us. The room was older and the facilities were old. I opted to grin and bear it. If I recommend this place I would explain to them this is what you'll get!

The location was excellent for a visit to historic Florence. The beds were reasonably comfortable and the rooms clean with functional bathrooms. The staff, especially Angela, were very helpful and accomodating. The breakfast was extra but was well worth it. It was a wonderful selection of fine breakfast goodies in a pleasant and carefully prepared eating area. Not the cheapest place but a good value. WiFi worked pretty well but some areas of the room had weak signal. Better than most Italian hotels.

The location was good for the sites of the city. The hotel bar had a really good atmosphere. Breakfast was good. The general hotel staff were good, friendly and attentive. The noise from the bar/restaurant was a major anoyance if you had a room at the front of the hotel, and when we were there it went on untill the small hours both nights. Wanted to use the steam room, but was told that this facility was only available in the afternoon. Reception staff came across a little cold.

Grate location between all main attractions of the Florence, garageman parking your car and bringing it back when needed, nice pompous hall. Very small room. No wardrobe near the entrance. Very small wardrobe located in the corner of the room just near the bed. No simple things in the room like glasses or bottle opener. Wi-Fi crashed all the time
