We had a one night stay here a few days ago, and were overall happy with our experience. Friendly staff greeted on arrival, and accommodating to our requests. The room was slightly smaller than envisioned, but for us it wasn’t an issue as were only there as mentioned for 1 night. Clean and comfortable. To note, if you are relying on the hotels hairdryer, it is slightly underwhelming, and a little confusing to operate, but it’s manageable. Overall, great experience & lovely staff. Also, perfect location for exploring all central Florence has to offer.

The room and location were great. Some staff do not speak English, especially the evening shift, and the elder gentleman working at the reception in the evening was making inappropriate remarks to my friend who I was talking with in the lobby.

Lovely hotel and owners. Excellent location.

Lovely hotel. Its location is excellent, a 10-minute walk from the SMN train station. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a large bathroom. Danielle and her family are very kind and caring. They go out of their way to provide excellent service and make the best recommendations on tourist attractions and places to eat. They also looked after our bags before and after check-in. They speak Italian and English quite well. 100% recommended.

這酒店適合可以接受以下特點的人: 1. 靠近景點們和輕軌,逛到一半還可以回去上廁所 2. 可以接受手動搬行李,因為沒電梯 3. 可以接受戴耳塞/噪音,因為隔音不好 4. 房間空間小,但夠用 另外,check in前到,以及check out後都可以寄放行李,很方便。整體而言我住得很舒服。

Great stay in central location. Room was clean and layout was nice. Very friendly staff. Only issue was the shower drained slowly but it didn’t bother us. We would stay again. AC was great!
