Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was ok for what we needed. There was however mold in the shower, the bed was not comfortable and the “balcony” overlooked a nasty smelly area. It was next to the train station so nice that we didn’t have to go far. If I had not of been with my husband I would not have stayed in this area. It’s very very busy and not a super safe area. My fault I guess for booking in the area.

Great accommodation option in Florence.

Room was decorated very nicely. It was spacious, the bed was large and comfortable. Although the hotel is right next to the train station there wasn’t much noise. Receptionist was very friendly and we could store our luggages before and after our stay.

Loved the location and the cleanliness of the property. The location made it very easy to drop off our luggage after arriving at the train station. Then we could walk all around to other sites, etc. My only issue with the location was the bed was a much harder bed than I was used to.

Claudia

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very helpful and kind. Easy check in. The area isn’t the best, considering it’s right next to the train station, but convenient for travel. The room was much smaller in person, and our bed was 2 twins pushed together. Comforter was black so it just always looked dirty. The shower/bathroom was a lot smaller in person and uncomfortable to bathe in. Towels had stains which wasn’t pleasant. Don’t bother with the free breakfast either across the street.

I was able to check in 2.5 hours early, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was big with high ceiling and modern decor. There were 2 windows in the room which made the room even more spacious feeling. Bathroom had modern decor as well. The location of this place was so convenient, next to bus station, steps away from the train station, minutes walk to central market and city center. Would definitely stay here again if coming to Florence again.
