Melanie United States of America

Very friendly personnel, excellent location because only 100m away from the tram that goes to park & Ride in Villa Constanza. Lots of restaurants closeby, city center on walking distance.

Nys Netherlands

The location is very good. Only few minutes by foot from the Central railway station. Saint Lorenzo Market right behind the corner. All the main attractions of the city are in a walking distance. The hotel in general is not big. Also the room was on a smaller side, but it was ok for me. I really appreciated the 2 little bottles of mineral water in the fridge every day. Big flat TV with Netflix , YouTube etc. Electric socket near each of 2 beds. Comfortable mattress. The towels were nice. Amazing view from the terrace on the 6 floor and some of the room-balconies of the hotel. The stuff was polite , professional and efficient! :-) The lady at the breakfast makes a good job! The breakfast space was always clean and tidy. 2 Coffee machines with good coffee and chocolate. All and all, my stay in this hotel was very pleasant.

Thomas United States of America

The room was everything you needed. The staff was nice and accomedating. Very centrally located with an amazing rooftop bar !

Kurczynski United States of America

The hotel is steps from the Train Station and in the heart of the restaurants and night life. A couple of blocks from San Lorenzo Market and the wonderful food court on the top. The hotel now offers roof top cocktails and some dining, it is not part of the hotel but it is excellent and a wonderful way to see the sunset over Florence. Breakfast is great and the staff is willing to help with anything you need. This is my second time staying here and I highly recommend this hotel especially if you are traveling by train. I will return.
