    The thermostat wouldn't work properly.

    How close the hotel was to the train station, and how we got a terrace room with a balcony.

    Not the fault of the hotel, but the lack of insulation between floors allowed us to hear a baby screaming and toddlers running across the floor upstairs.

    Good location, clean, excellent breakfast, wonderful staff

    The rooms were very small and basic, but functional for a base point.

    The location to the centre was fantastic, everything in easy walking distance. Nice views from the terrace and a lovely outdoor bar on the roof.

    The bathroom was really small and especially the shower cabin was tiny. You could hardly move. The room had only one window with no view at all. The twin beds were pretty basic. Mattresses on metal bases. I think that the room was overpriced for its quality. The tiniest fridge and no other facilities.

    The location was very good. The size of the room was decent.

    There was a bit of street noise at night. I managed to sleep through it but my husband used air plugs

    I loved the location, the decoration of the room, the size of the room, the 24 hour reception, the breakfast, roof top views and bar.

    We had breakfast as an extra for one morning but not very good , not a lot of choice and had problem with drink machine . Also not a lot if space in the breakfast room so fely on top of one another

    The location is brilliant , just a few minutes from train station . Also not far from lovely cafes and restaurants and from the main attractions . REception was 24hrs which was good as we left at 6.30in the morning as had an early flight The room was lovely and spacious with plenty of room for clothes , Complimentary water was good as well

    I would have liked more vegetables for breakfast. When I queried whether the online checkin was necessary, they told me that it was to save time at registration. Actually they registered me very fast; it would be useful to let people know when they send it that the online check in is optional.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. After checkout on my last day, I asked them if they knew a quiet place where I could sit and work, and they suggested the hotel's breakfast room, where I worked very comfortably for a couple of hours. The location was great - very central. I chose it because it was just round the corner for my conference, but it was also very convenient for the wonderful market, where I ate most of my lunches and suppers. They have a lovely rooftop with a splendid view of the city - unfortunately the weather was too cold to eat breakfast there!

    Great location from Santa Maria Novella train station, easy walk to attractions. Plenty of restaurants, shops and coffee bars around. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit and yoghurt as well as Italian bread and pastries. Our room faced tiled roofs and was very quiet.

    A quaint, discreet, but in its own way charming little hotel at affordable rates and very nice staff

    It did get a bit noisy at night because of the heater which seems a tad old, and being so close to the train station, the street in front if you get a room with a window might also be very busy and crowded even at night, but these are really minor inconveniences given the still quite good price/quality relation.

    The room was tasteful and simple, with a big comfortable bed. The breakfast was great, and there are always cookies or tea available for free at the lobby. The staff was tremendously nice and we even got to do our check-in as early as 9am because our room was available. Really recommend staying at this little hotel, it has a charm of its own.
