Nice Florence hotel!
Great location near train station and Florence sites. Easy to walk to many locations and to/from the train station. The room was clean and surprisingly big! That was a really nice surprise as we had to repack our bags and we had plenty of space. Staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast was simple but good. The only complaint was the small shower - I’m petite so I managed but my tall husband had a bit more trouble. Overall I would recommend!

Lives up to three stars.
It’s a bargain three star property. Staff and location are positives. Room size was very tight, but we were not there to stay in the room.

The hotel is very nice, it’s decorated with antiques. Our only complaint was there weren’t proper plugs for us to charge our phones. It wasn’t until our final day that I discovered plugs for our chargers .

Great Spot for a Quick Stay
Smaller room than expected, but we had access to the downstairs lounge during the day to help cool off in the heat wave. Staff was friendly and breakfast was delectable. Great value and location to train station.

We needed a quick extra night near the train station due to the train strike. A room was ready so they let us check in a little early. This was greatly appreciated!
