The hotel was very easy to walk to from the train station, even with a lot of luggage. The check in process was simple and the man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and has everything you need. Plus the AC works well and the windows are very good at keeping at the street noise. The AC unit did make a noise in the middle of the night. But by then the room was cool enough. So we were able to turn it off and go back to sleep. Overall, a very good place to stay overnight and I would book it again.
Staff was amazing
Communication was gone
Rooms were comfortable and good location right in front of a bus stop was perfect to hit up all the stops in Florence
It is a great location and great space, no elevators but doable. Good AC and bed, staff was very nice, especially Julia was very helpful and super nice and welcoming.

Right next to the train station. Easy access to most of the city attractions. Good price and only great for a short stay like one or two days. Property is nicer!!
This hotel was clean and close to dining options close to Santa Maria Novella. Being across from the train station, it helped with settling into our trip fast. Would stay here again.

The property is under construction and the entrance is dirty. Location is great bedside the bus and train terminal. Main floor room you hear all the street noise and the main door opening and closing at all hours. It’s a great location to travel around other towns near Florence. It’s convenient and budget friendly. Staff were great and very helpful.
We stayed at Bella Firenze during our Italy trip with kids in Sep 2024. Hotel is walking distance from train station, has good facilities and staff , spacious room. Recommend this hotel for stay in Florence.

under the assumption of breakfast but closed for reno’s. top floor had no wifi that worked. great location and clean
It is a good hotel and I would stay there again. It was a bit confusing at first to get in necause you need a code, but the staff were very friendly overall. Great AC, and it had a mini fridge (not common in Italy).
This property is more like a hostel than a hotel. Do not stay here if you are looking for any onsite service or amenities. Nothing described in the listing was available when we stayed.
We were looking for a very last minute place to stay in Florence. I booked this hotel because the listing described on site parking, breakfast and coffee in the lobby, a bar and lounge and it was in a desirable area. There were many positive reviews so I overlooked the negative ones.
The room was very dirty. There was hair and other filth all over the bathroom, the walls, shower and mirror were very dirty. The floors in the room were also dirty and the blankets for the beds were also covered in hair.
There is only a staff member on site from 3-6pm, everything else needs to be communicated through WhatsApp and that is unreliable and some questions went unanswered. When I asked the staff about the discrepancies between the listing and the property I was told that the listing was for a previous property the owner owned and the things I was asking about were not available.
Additionally, the room keys for all guests were all left on a table unattended in the lobby along with forms that clearly displayed guests first and last names, which was a serious safety concern for us as two women travelling together.
I would not recommend this property to anyone.
Giulia was really nice, check in was really easy , as so was check out.
The only thing I would say it wasn’t as clean as I would have liked, especially the bathroom/shower.. otherwise everything was great, staff and location.
Hotel is 2 min walk from train station which was convenient. We found the photos looked nothing like the room we stayed in. If you have luggage, be warned as there are no elevators. We found the bed to be uncomfortable and the bathroom was not to standard (shower door was coming off and there was mold)
Fast easy check in as soon as I arrived. Marco explained very clearly how to access the building after hours and carried my baggage upstairs for me.
Excellent location right across from the train station Santa Maria Novella made it perfect for travelling in and out of Florence by train.
I was able to get everywhere on foot, but there are lots of public transportation stops for those who prefer bus or tram.
