Para solo dormir vale, pero decepciona el entrar a las habitaciones que no son ni por asomo lo que se ve en las fotos. Pensaba que había retrocedido 50 años atras. Lo único salvable fueron los recepcionistas que fueron muy amables.

Tavsiye ederim.

3gece kaldık ve çok memnunuz konaklamamızdan. Resepsiyon çok ilgili. Girişte harita ile her şeyi tarif ettiler bize.(Hatta turistik olmayan ucuz yeme içme yerlerini bile) Otelle ilgili söyleyebileceğim olumsuz noktalardan biri odalarda klima olmaması(gerçekten gece yatarken çok etkiliyordu), diğeri ise bulunduğu sokağın sabaha kadar aşırı gürültülü olması. Klima olmadığı için pencere açık uyumak zorunda kaldık ve gürültüden uyumak pek mümkün olmadı. Ama odaları temiz ve genişti. Personel oldukça ilgiliydi.

Helt ait

Det var bra til å være såpass billig, men litt irriterende med felles bad og dusj. Samtidig som vi måtte rengjøre selv, når vi knuste en flaske inne på rommet. Men plasseringen var topp, og til prisen var det veldig bra. Hotellet kunne kanskje investert i ordentlig air condition, for det var ikke mulig og være på rommet på dagen.

Convenient.

The place is great considering that it’s relatively cheap. Me and a friend were traveling with luggage and were in Florence for just a day so the location was great for us. Since it’s walking distance to the train station, we were able to easily settle in, drop off our heavy luggage, and keep moving through our day to explore the city. The staff was super helpful, not just during our stay but even after. We checked out but were able to leave our luggage with them and come back to pick them up when it was closer to our train’s departure time.

Good for the money

The hotel is basic but really clean and it is definitely what backpackers like us want! The bad was really uncomfortable: it wasn’t a double bed as advertised, but 2 single beds put together that kept moving apart in any possible direction! On the second day I woke up with a terrible pain in my neck, the day after my neck was tilted on the side and couldn’t move at all! Other than that it was good: really big room, clean, friendly staff.. they gave us a lot of tips and stored our bags after check out for free. In the room we had a sink and a shower too, but the shower didn’t have a door and there wasn’t any hot water so we used the shared one anyway. Some new forniture would make this place definitely better, but so far it was worth the money.

Es un muy buen lugar para quedarse, de precio accesible, a unos 5 minutos del cuadro principal, el personal es súper amable y te aconsejan lugares para comer visitar, etc, la habitación para el costo está bien, lo único negativo es que no hay aire acondicionado y hacía mucho calor cuando fuimos, el baño es compartido.

Only good thing was the bed and fan..

When I arrived in Florence, into SMN. I knew roughly where to go by following the directions. Using the GPS on my phone, it showed I was standing outside it. All I could see was scaffolding. I looked up there was no name on the side, no nothing. Yes the door was open, but in all honesty it looked like an entrance to flats or something, not a hotel. I looked around the surrounding area to see if it was elsewhere but alas it was said building. I i walked in with my large suitcase, and the first thing i seen was stairs, even though it said about a lift. I noticed a lift in the far corner, but the doors on it were weird, I could just about get the suitcase in. The hotel is situated on the 2nd floor. After checking in, I was informed I was to be on the next level, but when he saw the suitcase, he kept me on the 2nd floor instead. The door looked like it had seen better days, I'm glad you can only get in with the key, otherwise it would have been really dodgy. There is a shower in the room, but it doesn't work, the actual showers are in a separate area. If it doesn't work, why is it in the room? No curtains on the window. Only good thing about this hotel was a comfy bed and the ceiling fan

Greit nok

Sentral beliggenhet, men rommene er ganske nedslitte. Mye støy fra gaten på nattestid, og svært støyende bygningsarbeid rett utenfor rommet fra tidlig morgen, ingen informasjon om dette fra hotellet. Stort sett hyggelig personale, ok renhold. Greit nok for en natt.

Very friendly staff, and very helpful- gave us tips for good food and cheaper gelato placed. We got upgraded to a larger room. Unfortunately the in room shower did not have doors. Also there was no mirror in the room at all. At night it was very loud because the windows didn't seal close. The heater broke down over night and leaked water everywhere. The staff was very good about fixing it up and cleaning the room. Washrooms were all clean and had hot water. The location is prime.
