Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is perfectly located, within easy reach of all the main attractions in Florence. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff making our visit even more enjoyable. The dining experience, while not on-site, was enjoyable with options available for foreign travelers. The price was reasonable considering the value for money. Overall, a fantastic choice for a visit to Florence.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The room was elegant and had everything we needed, even a toothbrush and kettle. The heater was the best during our winter trip in Europe, but unfortunately, the noise from the buses outside was a significant drawback.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, although on the smaller side. The bed was just right for me, not overly soft, and the shower with extra jet streams was a fun surprise. The service was exceptional, with extremely friendly staff always ready to help with any request. The location was perfect for exploring Florence, with everything within walking distance and convenient access to major attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the buffet style breakfast. Overall, a great value for money option with fantastic amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.
