    Rooms are fairly simply furnished so the hotel is probably a better fit for those who plan to spend most of their time sightseeing.

    Great location, about five minutes away from the Santa Maria Novella train station and the same from the Firenze duomo. Good breakfast spread but also lots of bars and restaurants nearby which open early and stay open late.

    The room had no view. There are no screens on the windows and mosquitos were about. The bathrooms are basic.

    The location is great for visiting Florence. The room size was ample, very clean and the breakfast was good. The staff were friendly. It is close to the main railway station and there are nearby restaurants and shops.

    Bathroom door was difficult to open. The bathroom was very dimly lit. The shower over the bath leaked quite badly on to the bathroom floor.

    Pillows too hard and no other options. I asked. Room floor was dirty. I wore some white slip on hotel slippers- from a previous location and the soles were caked with what I can only describe as ground in dust. Too bad except for these two things it would otherwise be perfect.

    Loved it all.

    Lovely historical building. Typical Italian design with many original features. Close to station and many restaurants and shops. It is an old building so be ready for a few faults that come with age. Very comfortable and staff were very accommodating. Waiter in breakfast was super friendly and helpful.

    There is a lot of mosquitoes coming in our room from somewhere even the windows were closed? We were horrible bitten multiple times. The air condition is ancient and very noisy. There isn’t soap & shampoo holder inside shower cabin. The breakfast is very poor ! Dry bread and croissants, no toaster . Hard to imagine worst breakfast than this for the money we have paid?!

    Bed and pillows were not great. I was there over a holiday weekend, so rates were high for value.

    Location was close to train station and easy to get to. Staff agreed to change my room to one that was not on the main road ( too noisy). Bathroom was very small but updated. Breakfast was good.

    Good hotel for a quick stay in the center of Florence
    • Leisure trip

    The breakfast was a bit barebones, as you only had some basic cold cuts, cheese, bread & croissants, yogurt, milk, cereal and canned fruit to go along. Some cakes too and juices too. Don't go expecting a great breakfast for the price. The coffee was freshly made though. Also, the staff asks for guests to return the keys every time you go out - a very old practice by Hotel Standards - but this is to be expected because we're talking about real keys (no keycards).

    The Hotel is very well located. It is an old palace converted into an Hotel, so you can expect a going through a lot of corridors and about 2 lifts just to get to your room. But the rooms are comfortable and the bathroom was spotless! The staff was really nice and helpful! The hotel is beautiful. If you're visiting Florence for its history as it makes you feel part of it as breakfast takes place in a stately room.

    The location is perfect, because is very near the train station. Our room is very big and soft, besides it's very quiet room, the bed is comfortable and wide. But the breakfast exceeded the expectations... lots of options and all very good.

    Sorry don't like blankets. Some bathrooms are old, tiny and awkward BUT worth that for having a bidet

    Location, breakfast, so lovely to have fruit! When I changed the room to a quieter one, was very happy. Avoid rooms at the front.

    The hotel is only a few meters from the Santa Maria Novella train station and within walking distance to all the main attractions we visited. There were lots of restaurants, leather shops, boutiques and supermarkets within the area. The staff were helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was good.

    The use of too high heating. Everywhere inside the hotel the heating was at the top, thinking also about the impact on the environment and how it effects a good sleeping and the air we breathe (dryness) - we think the temperature should be kept at 18-20* maximum, thanks.

    Superfriendly staff and excellent breakfast
