The hotel is located on the fourth floor, which is a bit unusual, but there are many quirky places in Italy and we've stayed in some of them. We'd booked a room for three people as we were travelling with our son. The room was very basic, with barely enough space for a double and single bed. There was also a fusty smell in the room. On the plus side, the bathroom was new and clean. The major problem with the hotel was that on the second day, a school group arrived and from that point on it was chaotic. The hotel thought it reasonable to have us in a room amongst the school group. The noise into the night was unacceptable. At midnight, a group of teachers were sitting outside our room playing cards, there was shouting and shrieking, banging on doors well into the small hours. At breakfast the next morning there were so many school kids around the only places on offer were on a shared table with the school group. We complained to the hotel about the noise but have not had a satisfactory response. The idea that they were unaware of the noise issue is frankly ridiculous. So, book this hotel at your peril. Our experience was of a youth hostel, not a hotel.

Staff was very nice but room very small and no counter in the bathroom. Elevator did not go up to the floor we were assigned so had to lug heavy suitcases.

I feel like the hotel was a glorified hostil. It felt the goal was to get as many rooms into the space as possible. If youre not spending much time in the room, then its not a problem. The was clean which was great. But there was alot of construction going on during the day. No doubt adding more rooms. The breakfast was fine. The gentleman that checked us in, Omar was wonderful. Very informative and kind.

My room is spacious with two beds, one is a queen bed (or bigger) and a single bed and new bathroom. Budget friendly for young aldults with free breakfast every day. I may get noisy at time since dinner time in Florence start from 8pm but it gets quiet after midnight. Steps away from tram and about 15 minutes walk to the Duomo. A lot of shops and cafes around. Fun and convenient area to be. I wish the room had ook(s) in the bathroom.

Location was convenient. Clean and safe. Beds and pillow a little hard but not a big deal. Staff were friendly and gave nice suggestions for tours. Overall pleased and would recommend for a quick trip stay over.

The location of the Hotel is really good, walkable from the main attractions, and very safe. Breakfast was good, enough to keep you going for a while. The only kind of bad experience I had, is that you can hear everything from the other rooms, the first night, somebody was arguing, and I couldn't sleep very well. Overall, the experience was good. Staff is very helpful and give you a map and recommendations for places to visit.
