Pretty much everything - rooftop bar (though expensive), location, room size, decor, comfort, large washroom and very friendly and helpful staff.

Chantal Canada

Excellent location, roof top bar/restaurant, breakfast and excellent service. The staff was so helpful and always cheerful. Breakfast on location was great. A selection of different coffees. Minutes away from the train station and market.

Ornella United States of America

It is a great hotel if you’re looking to visit Florence and don’t want to break the bank. The location is superb, especially if you are like me and had just hopped off of a long plane ride to Rome, followed directly by taking the train to Florence. I was exhausted when I arrived at S.M. Station so I was so relieved that the hotel was only a 5 min walk. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfy. I slept so well! Plenty of space for my suitcases and a desk set up so I can work remotely. Staff was friendly and bonuses for having Netflix ready to go on your tv and restaurants/ bars up the street. Enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning!

Alexis United States of America

Excellent location. Kind staff. Clean room. Great value.

Rachel United States of America

The view from the roof top terrace was amazing and really the best aspect of this hotel. We stayed at the hotel on a Sunday night, which happened to be burger night. For about 12 Euros you can get a great burger with fries. Add in the friendly staff, the laid-back nightclub atmosphere, the 10% hotel guest discount, the cooler evening temperatures (even in July) and an unbeatable view of Florence for a truly unforgettable evening!

Location was perfect! It is located outside of the main area, but just a quick walk away to it all and so very close to the train station. The rooftop view for drinks and a snack were amazing as well.
