Cristin

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean (showing its age a little, but totally fine) bathroom modern and good water pressure in the shower. Great location a little out of the fray but still easy to walk to major sites. Only a 5-7 minute walk from the SMN train station. Several nice restaurants close by. There was only soap and hair/body shampoo provided, so bring some conditioner and body lotion if you need it! Breakfast was excellent. I would stay here again.

This was a very nice hotel in an area close enough to be an easy walk to the city center. The only negative was the room size (double) was quite small without enough shelf space to fully open our carry-on sized suitecases. On the other hand, the breakfast was exceptional with the only Starebucks quality americano coffee that we had in Italy.

We had a pleasant experience right from the start. Allegra checked us in and gave us a map with insights on the most important areas to visit as we walked through Florence. The hotel is perfectly located, which was most important to us. The rooms included a good sized bathroom and shower and were comfortable and clean. If you are looking for a comfortable and clean place to stay that is in the heart of the city then this should be high on your list. We would stay here again.
