Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has spacious and well-airconditioned rooms that are very clean and old-fashioned in a cute way. The service is amazing with cheerful and helpful staff. The location is great, near the train station, but a bit of a walk from the city center. The dining experience could be improved with fresher options. Overall, a charming and cozy hotel.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms, but there was an issue with mosquitoes when opening the window. The staff provided excellent service and were very helpful in various situations. The location was nice and quiet, although a bit unnerving for some. The dining experience was decent but lacked variety in the breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious but the bathroom was tiny. The front desk gentleman was a bit rude when I requested room make-up. On the bright side, the service was amazing, especially in helping me retrieve a personal item. The location, though a bit far from major attractions, was in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The dining experience was a bit lacking, but the facilities were generally satisfactory.
The hotel has a charming character and is conveniently located within walking distance from the city center in Florence. The rooms are spacious and clean, though the bathroom water temperature in some rooms cannot be adjusted. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff. The dining experience was adequate but could use more imagination. The hotel's facilities were good overall, offering a cozy garden and authentic Italian pizza. However, ongoing neighborhood issues slightly affected the peace and quiet of the stay.
The hotel is in a quiet area, just a 10-15 minute walk from the center, offering spacious rooms under the roof. Despite nearby construction, it remains peaceful and definitely a place I would return to. Breakfast served just outside the main dining room was great, thanks to the staff for the change after the first night.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room, which was initially noisy but changed on request, was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and the location, though a bit of a walk from the center, was quiet and convenient. I will definitely return.
