The room was very nice and was right across the street from the train station.

Kayla United States of America

The hotel is right at the station clearly to be seen when you step out of the station. Everything is super clean beautifully renovated, the staff is super friendly and it is very close to the shopping center of the city. I was happily surprised to find this gem in Empoli. I will go the city again just to stay in this little beautiful family hotel.

Mariam Canada

Hotel itself has a good position within the city for the people seeking to travel Tuscany by train as it is right in front of the train station. We had AC in the room which was critical due to the heat. Breakfast at the hotel was good especially due to the pastry.

Lukáš Slovakia

This was the perfect location for our trip, beside the train station with easy access to trains to Florence. The staff were very friendly and helpful , we could leave our luggage there before check-in and it was brought to the room for us. The room was recently done up and spotlessly clean, with a view overlooking the station and a small park. Breakfast was included coffee, juices, pastries , yogurt etc again the young woman serving was very pleasant and helpful. This hotel ticked all the boxes for our short stay and I would highly recommend it

Margaret Ireland

Very conveniently located, just opposite the train station. Easy to get to both Florence or Pisa.
