This hotel was amazing. I am traveling solo and location was perfect. Breakfast was delicious and the Staff was so helpful. Specially Antonella. Looking forward to back.
It was immaculately clean and the shower water pressure was amazing! Perfect for sightseeing - the neighbor hood was accessible to Florence and quiet and safe at night.
I loved our stay in the hotel, me and my daughter and husband stayed 2 nights. Everyone was really friendly especially Antonella she was amazing and one of the other ladies in the reception that helped us with some tourist attraction to visit!
The rooms was great, very clean. The breakfast was amazing!
The hotel was amazing! The staff was so nice and the room was very comfortable and spacious, also the bathroom was spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious too.
Good spacious double room at back, friendly staff and service, clean comfortable room, charm. 20-minute walk to centre manageable, quiet, slight rumble of trains near but not disturbing. We very much enjoyed our stay and Firenze amazing. Thank you
Great hotel, with a good breakfast selection
Staff were very friendly and happy to help.
Lack of taxi availability but they tried their best to call taxis
Alexandro was fantastic and always ready to help.
This hotel is a great place to stay in Florence, the room was just the right size for 2 people and super clean. The gentleman on reception was lovely and very accommodating. Breakfast in the morning was your standard continental breakfast, but tasty all the same. The hotel is a little walk away from the city centre - around 20 min walk but this didn’t bother us at all the streets felt very safe, even at nighttime. I would recommend staying here to any friends or family visiting Florence.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff and owner were friendly.
The rooms floor was weird, and no curtains at the window.
Breakfast was basic but good.
They said no Amex allowed and had to pay with debit which wasn’t great.
All of the staff was helpful, kind and engaging. Shonna (not sure I spelled her name correctly) was so kind and accommodating with my dietary needs for breakfast. She had a great sense of humor and a smile every morning. We had a great time and would definitely come back when we’re in Florence again!
It’s a small hotel, family-operated and owned who were all magnificent. We checked in really late and who I believe was the head of the family was very helpful and even saved me money on parking. The room was small, but very cozy and clean. It also had all the major amenities that most been g hotel have. We missed breakfast time the following, but the lady still let us have a small breakfast and a few capuchinos.

Great little bar and bar area with an amazing bar tender who will give a master class on Italian alcohol. Breakfast was good. Staff was all very friendly.
Street parking in the blue lines is the only parking, which we found a spot a few blocks down. Not a lot of retail or restaurants in the immediate area, which we were fine with as we had a car. Quiet at night. A good night of sleep.

Lovely little hotel in a quiet area of Firenze.
Supermarket few metres away.
Bus stop nearby and few restaurants around.
Breakfast is not much in variety but enough to get by and start your day.
Nice bed, pillows and storage facility.
If you want a taxi, best thing to do is ask the reception.
And remember reception closes at 8pm.
Mark was excellent always trying to help as much as possible and also the lady receptionist (sorry I forgot to ask her name)
Overall positive hotel.
The hotel is very clean and well kept. Their rooms are big and bathroom is very clean.
The location is very close to Galleria but you might need to walk a bit if you want to reach the other parts like Uffizi and Boboli Gardens. But that was okay for us as there were quiet a few bus services and nearby stops.
The staff is nice and helpful too.
Some issues we had which led me to give lower rating -
There were mosquitoes in the room, luckily they were only one or too and we kept pur windows shut so we were able to deal with it. The room has no means of ventilation, the AC was in heat mode and there was ni control when it was too hot for us we couldn’t open windows as it would have led to more mosquitoes entering the room.
But its overall a good place if you want to spend a night or too
Had a wonderful long weekend (3 night) stay here. It's a short, easy walk from the main tourist strip so simple to get around Florence by foot. It's also easy to get to from the airport with tram and bus to just a few blocks away.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The room (single room) was spacious with comfortable bed, good shower and all you need for a short break. I ate in the restaurant the first night - it's not the best space, but the food was AMAZING (beef that melted in your mouth) and the cocktail even more so. The bartender is fabulous - the service, knowledge and chat you expect from a five-star hotel in the middle of London or New York.
The last night I ate at a nearby local restaurant - there are plenty of choices if you're willing to be adventurous and not looking for a 'tourist trap' restaurant but something more authentic and traditional.
If you're looking for fancy luxury hotel, this isn't the place for you. But if you want a comfortable stay, in a clean hotel with friendly staff, and in an area that is away from the chaos of too many tourists but still easy to get around from, at a great price, this is a wonderful choice. I would definitely stay here again.
