Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely balcony with high ceilings, making the rooms feel spacious. However, the plumbing was an issue, and noise from the roof bar could be heard until closing time.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms felt roomy with high ceilings, and the nice balcony was a fun spot for kids. However, it can get quite stuffy in winter. The service by the hotel staff was amazing, some of the best I've experienced in a long time. The location is ideal, as the hotel is centrally located near the station and within walking distance to many attractions. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with below-average breakfast choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with fantastic amenities and a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was much better than I anticipated, spacious, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The service was welcoming and efficient, making my check-in and check-out smooth. The location was superb, allowing easy access to all the major attractions in Florence. However, the dining experience was mediocre, lacking variety and attention to detail.
Our stay at the hotel was just perfect. The rooms were fantastic for us, with a child-friendly bed on the bottom and a spacious king-size bed on top. They were immaculately clean, cozy, and the location couldn't have been better. Our experience was made even better by the attentive and friendly staff who went out of their way to make our stay special.
The hotel room had a mix of issues like a TV with only one functioning channel, a light fixture with exposed wires, and a bathroom shower cubicle leaking water onto the floor. Despite receiving a price reduction for the first night, the room felt unsettling and somewhat creepy. The service, on the other hand, was accommodating and polite, with the staff always doing their best despite being visibly overwhelmed. The location was excellent, close to the train station and city center. The dining experience offered a wide variety of breakfast options, making it enjoyable. Overall, a somewhat challenging stay with room concerns but redeemed by the friendly staff and convenient location.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, with a little balcony overlooking the garden, was pretty shabby and the AC was not working properly, making it uncomfortably hot. However, the service from the staff, from chamber maids to breakfast and reception staff, was efficient and friendly. The location was great, with easy access to all the main attractions of Florence. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering something for everyone's taste, though the options could be slightly better.
